SCP-1572 Testing Log 
Test A 


Subject: D-3246 

Procedure: SCP-1572 showed directions to 
an abandoned building, which the subject 
claimed to have explored when they lived in 
the area. 

Activity: Subject was allowed to reach the 
area within 3 hours of being exposed to 
SCP-1572. Once within the area, D-3246 
attempted to enter the building through several 
side entrances, before entering through the 
unlocked front door. 

Status: Subject was lost after entering the 
building. 


Test B 


Subject: D-1055 

Procedure: Subject led personnel to a forest 
in [REDACTED], personnel noted an 
abnormally large number of trees with low- 
hanging branches. 

Results: D-1055 immediately began to climb 
through the trees, moving with speed and 
agility not seen prior to reaching the area. 
Status: Subject was lost after trailing agents 
were unable to view them through the 
vegetation. 


Test CC 


Subject: D-0935 
Procedure: D-0935 led agents to a crawl 
space under an uninhabited residential home, 


identified by the subject as the place they 
would hide when their father, an alcoholic, was 
inebriated. 

Results: Subject immediately began crawling 
into the space once they were released by 
agents. Agent Ekblad attempted to follow 
D-0935 into the space. Agent Ekblad was 
equipped with video recording equipment 
Status: Both Agent Ekblad and D-0935 were 
lost after entering the space. Footage was not 
recovered. 


Test F 


Subject: D-3246 

Procedure: After two days of travel, D-3246 
reached a jungle gym built into the back of an 
abandoned apartment complex where they 
grew up. On the trip, D-3246 refused to sleep, 
claiming it would be crushed to death by 
"stompers". D-3246 refused to elaborate, but 
claimed to be able to hear this creature behind 
any locked door she could view. 

Results: Subject immediately began to climb 
into the gym once she viewed it, despite 
having to be carried to it by agents due to 
exhaustion. 

Status: Agents testified that the jungle gym 
began extending into the graffiti found on the 
walls of the apartment complex. Subject 
appeared to climb into the walls of the building, 
and was lost. 


Test ZA 


Subject: D-9026 

Procedure: Subject reached a small cave 
system in [REDACTED], which appeared to be 
almost entirely caved in. 

Results: D-9026 reached the cave by climbing 
a tree located by a cliff face, where an 


entrance to the system was located. 
Status: Subject was lost after entering the 
cave. Agents reported seeing D-9026 begin 
falling out of the cave, before a human hand 
reached out of the cave and pulled them 
inside.

SCP-1573: Kids These Days 


Item #: SCP-1573 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1573 is to be held within a 
standard containment locker, located within Site-—77. Personnel 
assigned to work with SCP-1573 are never to have been within the 
town of , Mexico, outside of sanctioned research. Any subjects 
found to have been affected by SCP-1573 are to be counseled, due 
to the ineffectiveness of standard amnestic treatments, and released 
in an area outside . Foundation personnel within the town itself 
are to observe any children under the age of 3 for anomalous 
properties. One D-Class subject affected by SCP-1573 is to be kept 
with these agents, and spared monthly terminations in order to 
identify children of whom SCP-1573 affects their perception. 


Description: SCP-1573 is a hollow ceramic sculpture, weighing 
approximately 3 kilograms. The statue depicts the head of a human 
infant, mounted on top of several cephalopod tentacles. When 
outside the town of , subjects affected by SCP-1573 do not 
experience any effects caused by it. 


If subjects who have come into direct physical contact with 
SCP-1573 enter , they may begin to perceive children under 
the age of 11 years old differently. This perception-altering effect is 
limited to children native to the town, as foreign children and those 
who were born outside will not be reported as appearing 
abnormal. Subjects will claim that these entities communicate with it, 
threatening to inflict severe bodily harm unless the subject settles in 
the town and has children. Subjects will claim to see children as 
small, emaciated humanoid figures obscured by dark smoke in the 
shape of the child's body. 


Subjects affected by SCP-1573 who have their own children 
conceived or born within the town may perceive them as a parasitic 


humanoid, with an appearance similar to SCP-1573. They will claim 
that their child is constantly within their bodies, causing them to 
become sick and die in order to propagate itself. Subjects will not 
explain how this process is possible, and will continue to profess this 
belief until their child is over the age of 11, at which point they will 
refuse to acknowledge the child's existence. Children will display 
expected behavior. 


SCP-1573 was recovered on 08/11/1959, after reports of bizarre 
birth defects originating in reached Foundation personnel 
embedded in the local area. After finding none of the reported 
defects, but over subjects affected by SCP-1573, SCP-1573 was 
classified as an anomaly. Local residents directed them to 
SCP-1573, claiming that several of them had been delivered to the 
town, but all except one had been destroyed due to accidents’. After 
amnestic treatment proved ineffective, affected residents were 
relocated, and SCP-1573 was contained. In addition, the body of a 
man identified as the one who delivered SCP-1573 was found 
outside the town, buried in a shallow grave. As of 09/02/1959, it has 
been classified as Safe. 


Addendum: Document recovered from the body found buried 
outside the town. 


Hello, friends. theres a lot of strange things lurking in the 
desert, and we all know that. but soon, they might be 
moving in. hope this helps you spot them when they get 
here 


Addendum: Overview of , Mexico. 


The town has a population of 1,229 residents, and is located miles 
from the nearest major settlement. It was founded in 189 , and until 
1958 had a population of under. It is believed that following the 
arrival of SCP-1573, there was a small population boom, which 
nearly doubled its population. 


It is to be noted that as of 07/11/1975, the population of is still 
primarily under the age of 15. 


Addendum: Incident 1573-A: 


On 8/19/1975, during routine medical examinations of D-4561, who 
had been stationed in , it was found that she had become 
pregnant. Due to the fact that D-4561 had previously been 
determined to be sterile after receiving a hysterectomy, she was 
sent to Site-56 for observation. After a normal gestation period, 
D-4561 went into labor on 5/22/1976. During the delivery, it was was 
noted that the baby appeared to have mutations similar to those 


described by D-4561 when referring to children in . DNA testing 
showed [DATA EXPUNGED] Xenobiologists have been stationed 
within , and investigation is ongoing.

SCP-1574: Searching... 


Item #: SCP-1574 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All movements made by 
SCP-1574 are to be tracked and reported by Foundation agents 
stationed in the states of Mexico, Cuba, the United States, and other 
nations near or within the Gulf of Mexico. Any changes to its 
appearance are to be logged, in addition to any changes to its 
location. Currently, work on disabling SCP-1574's cloaking 
mechanism is ongoing. Any subjects witnessing SCP-1574's 
anomalous properties are to be issued Class-B amnestics. 


In the event that SCP-1574 begins approaching a Foundation site, 
or other area known to house anomalous items, the area is to be 
evacuated, and all anomalous items removed until SCP-1574 
passes. 


Description: SCP-1574 is a roughly spherical object of 
extraterrestrial origin, 1.63 meters in diameter and capable of 
moving in any direction. 


SCP-1574 has never been directly observed, due a perception- 
altering effect it emits on any living subject capable of observing it. 
This causes the subject to believe they are perceiving a variety of 
other objects, partially logged in this document. This is believed to 
be acloaking effect, to allow SCP-1574 easy access to surveillance 
locations without being seen. Analysis by other methods has shown 
SCP-1574's actual shape, but testing to observe it further is 
ongoing.

The movement pattern displayed by SCP-1574 is erratic and 
apparently random, usually taking it through rural areas of Mexico 
and Cuba, and waters bordering those states. It has been known to 
make brief excursions to other states bordering the Gulf of Mexico, 
but these occur more rarely. It moves at a constant speed of 20 kph, 
with altitude varying between 1 and 16 meters off of the ground. As 
of / 201 , no major population centers have been targeted by 
SCP-1574, but this has not been eliminated as a possibility. 


Various radio broadcasts have been recorded to emit from 
SCP-1574, usually directly following an alteration to its appearance. 
Prior to 1935, these broadcasts were incomprehensible to 
Foundation Xenocryptographers. However, since 09/03/1935, all 
transmissions made by SCP-1574 have used terrestrial languages, 
spliced together from various media programs. 


SCP-1574 was first observed on 12/15/1927, as a meteorite heading 
towards earth. Following impact, SCP-1574's anomalous properties 
were observed by Foundation personnel, leading to its classification 
as an anomalous object. SCP-1574 was documented as an SCP on 
11/23/1941, and classified as Euclid. Following SCP-1574's 
manifestation on 09/18/2012, it has been reclassified as Keter.

SCP-1575: Venus Statue 


Item #: SCP-1575 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1575 is to be held in a 6m 
x 6m x 4m containment chamber at Bio-Site 23, with direct access to 
Research Laboratory 3 at same. Except when in use for testing, no 
water is to be allowed into SCP-1575's containment, and after 
testing all water used is to be held in quarantine for use in further 
tests. 


Description: SCP-1575 is a marble statue, standing approx. 2.75m 
high with an additional base of 0.5m. The statue is a depiction of 
Venus (Roman goddess of love, beauty, fertility and seduction) clad 
only in wrappings from the waist downwards. The statue acts as a 
fountainhead; damage to the base shows that it was likely intended 
as a permanent installation, with a single channel running from 
underneath the base up through a hole in the mouth. SCP-1575 
shows no anomalous properties on its own, nor do samples 
removed from the whole. An inscription on the base, partially 
obscured by the above-mentioned damage, indicates it to have been 
sculpted in the early 16th century for a private collection in ; 
ltaly. 


Any otherwise fresh water which is allowed to pour through 
SCP-1575 in its nature as a fountain (henceforth referred to as 
SCP-1575-1) is shown to have mutagenic properties when 
consumed or otherwise introduced into a body; external application 
(including long-term submergence) does not trigger a mutation. Non- 
human mammalian creatures who consume at least 0.5 liters of 
SCP-1575-1 daily will begin mutating into a human being over the 
course of roughly one month, with ethnicity roughly in accordance 
with humans native to the species’ natural habitats. For example, a 
European deer will have primarily Caucasian features post-mutation, 
while a North American deer will have features like those of Native 


Americans. Curiously, most modern breeds of dogs and cats will 
have indistinct or mixed racial features. 


Survivors of this process describe it as extremely painful, and it has 
an approximate 25% fatality rate for females. Males experience a 
95% fatality rate, with most survivors having an androgynous 
appearance with non-functional or completely missing genitalia. 
Additionally, there is a 40% chance that the animal will retain one or 
more pre-mutation features, such as fur, paws instead of hands and/ 
or feet, a tail, non-human ears, etc. The final apparent age of the 
subject is normally in accordance to the stage of life of the creature 
involved (prepubescent, adolescent, adult, elderly). 


It should be noticed that cases where the subject is gaining or losing 
a significant amount of mass, appetites and bodily functions will shift 
to match. Please see the attached testing logs for specific 
information.
