Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-3775 is 
currently being managed by Mobile Task Force Psi-10 ("Maslow's 
Motivators") and Foundation web analysis bot Delta-34 
("MURDERTHEYWROTE"). All persons working on SCP-3775 
related materials must undergo daily countermeme treatment to 
avoid becoming subject to their effects. Any digital or real-world 
manifestations of SCP-3775 phenomena are to be immediately 
suppressed and any involved persons tracked down and issued 
amnestics. In the event of a 3775-related phenomena persisting and 
becoming widely known, an emergency General Population 
Amnestic Order may be issued at the discretion of O5 Command. 


The town of Arbutus, Maryland is currently under surveillance by the 
Foundation; in the event of any 3775-infected subjects coming to the 
town, amnestics are to be issued immediately and the persons 
redirected elsewhere. 


UPDATE: Following the discovery of new details related to 
SCP-3775, information on Garrett Evobasa Woleb and certain 
details of the murders is currently restricted to the Site Director and 
O5 Command (see Addendum 3775.B) 


Description: SCP-3775 is a memetic phenomenon centered around 
nonexistent homicides supposedly taking place in the town of 
Arbutus, Maryland in July 1967. According to the phenomenon, the 
victims were six elementary school teachers and the murders were 
committed simultaneously in the local Taranto Schoolhouse by 
Garrett Evobasa Woleb, a Gambian immigrant who was born in 
December 1929 and moved to the United States in 1957. No record 
of Woleb, the schoolteachers, or the named schoolhouse have been 
found in the town of Arbutus, leading the Foundation to classify 


SCP-3775 as an anomalous activity shortly after its discovery. 


Upon being infected by SCP-3775, persons display numerous 
changes in personality and behavior centered around the murders. 
Specifically: 


¢ Acontinuous obsession with the details of the murders and 
the lives of the six schoolteachers killed and a strong distaste 
for the actions of Woleb. 
¢ [ln ~35% of subjects] A desire to travel to the town of Arbutus, 
Maryland to the site of the original murders (an empty plot of 
land outside the city limits). SCP-3775 infected subjects will 
always travel to Arbutus in groups of seven. 
[In artistically inclined subjects] A desire to create fictional 
media centering around the murders, such as novels, 
screenplays, etc. Media produced by SCP-3775 infected 
subjects has the same memetic properties as the original 
phenomenon, though descriptions do not as long as they omit 
visual material and direct quotes. The character of Woleb 
consistently disappears towards the end of several 
documented narratives without any apparent reaction from 
other depicted characters. 
¢ Astrong emotional attachment to the murdered teachers and 
feelings of extreme anger towards those who deny the 
murders occurred. 


SCP-3775 was first discovered in July 1987 when an Arbutus city 
council member introduced a resolution to honor the slain victims by 
designating the 20th anniversary of the murders as "Taranto 
Teachers’ Day”. The infection spread rapidly throughout the town 
and came to the Foundation's attention shortly afterwards; at the 
time agents arrived, the city was in the middle of a week-long tribute 
to the victims and a local filmmaker was working on a documentary 
about their lives. The town was temporarily closed off and all 
persons issued repeated amnestics over the course of the following 
weeks. 


Examples of Material Produced By 3775-Affected Subjects 


Title: What happened to Garrett Evobasa Woleb, the 
"Butcher of Arbutus"? 


Media: Thread posted to the social media site reddit in 
the /r/UnresolvedMysteries subreddit on 21 Sep 2008. 
Prior to its detection by Delta-34 and subsequent 
removal, approximately four dozen comments had been 
posted (the exact number could not be determined 
because numerous comments had been removed). All 
posters tracked down and issued amnestics by MTF 
Psi-10. 


Description: Poster of thread provides brief description 
of the event and solicits feedback on the possible 
location of Woleb and his activities after 1967. Several 
users Claim they have never heard of the murders and 
express confusion about their being no Wikipedia article 
or contemporary news reports on them, but all accept the 
validity of the original poster's claim. Others express 
frustration at several comments in the thread being 
removed, with one poster claiming their removed 
comment detailed their theory on Woleb's current 
whereabouts. When tagged in comments, the 
moderators claim they have not removed any in the 
thread and express confusion at the comments’ absence. 
Thread removed at this point. 


Title: Wolebshka 


Media: Oil painting on canvas, discovered after being 
briefly listed for sale on eBay; bidding was at $700 at the 
time the auction was stopped. Amnestics were issued to 
bidders, viewers, and the original artist after an extensive 
search and detain mission across North America. 


Description: Portrait of seven Russian nesting (or 
"Matryoshka") dolls, six of which resemble the 
schoolteachers, removed from their casing and staring at 
the viewer with looks described as "tortured" and 
"desperate". The bodies of the persons depicted have all 
been mutilated by a blunt object, with numerous bleeding 
wounds seen in the center of the dolls. The seventh and 
largest nesting doll lacks any features and is painted in 
featureless bright red. The entire background of the 


painting is pitch black, with no discernable features other 
than the seven dolls. 


Title: Seven Angry Schoolteachers 


Media: 20-minute Adobe Flash video uploaded to 
YouTube by an account named "Justice Arbutur". The 
account uploaded no videos before or after this one and 
was taken taken down by YouTube after several 
automatically generated DMCA claims from Delta-34. 
Video had 348 views at time of takedown. Subsequent 
surge in SCP-3775 manifestations in the months after 
the video's takedown were attributed to it. 


Description: Experimental drama portraying Woleb as a 
teacher who is employed by Taranto Schoolhouse. The 
teachers are debating whether or not to approve funding 
for a staircase to the school's attic, replacing the aging 
ladder that had been used previously. Woleb and two 
other teachers oppose the proposal on the grounds that 
the new staircase's spiral design will give the children 
nightmares. The confrontation turns violent after one 
teacher refers to Woleb with a racial slur and questions 
his employment at the school given his race. The video 
becomes more abstract after this, intersplicing screams 
of distress and pain from the teachers with surreal 
images heavily featuring the color red; this sequence 
takes up the majority of the runtime. End of the video 
consists of police discovering the teachers dead within 
the school house except for Woleb, with one officer 
stating there is no physical evidence of the killer's identity 
despite the gruesome scene. 


Title: Diary of an Ostracized Killer 


Media: First-person narrative presented by the author as 
the recovered diary of Garrett Evobasa Woleb, self- 
published as a Kindle ebook on www.amazon.com and 
listed for sale at $6.99. Title taken down by Foundation 
agents embedded in Amazon within fifteen minutes of 
posting and no copies were purchased; one was 


downloaded for research purposes. 
Description: ERROR - DATA CORRUPTED 


Title: Garrett Evobasa Woleb Had Something to Hide. 
Who Else Might? 


Media: Editorial written by the Wall Street Journal staff in 
July 2013, shortly after the NSA disclosures by Edward 
Snowden. The headquarters of the Wall Street Journal 
was raided prior to the article's publication and printed 
copies destroyed; after interrogation, the entire staff was 
issued Class B amnestics. 


Description: Article is a call for increased security and a 
defence of the surveillance state, using the Arbutus 
murders as an example of a tragedy that could have 
been prevented with increased government monitoring. 
Authors advocate for indefinite renewal of the Patriot Act, 
a national identity card, and increased funding to the 
NSA. Foundation memetic analysis of the article's tone 
indicated unusually high level of preoccupation with 
persons hiding in places not visible to the naked eye and 
concern with citizens who do not have up to date 
documentation. 


Addendum 3775.A: Material Produced by Affected Foundation 
Researcher: In July 2007, a Foundation researcher working on 
SCP-3775 was not properly inoculated with the countermeme and 
temporarily became affected by the anomaly, after which Class A 
amnestics proved sufficient in reversing the symptoms. During her 
period of SCP-3775 infection, the researcher produced a fictional 
document written in the style of a standard Foundation interview, a 
summary of which has been provided below. 


Title: Layered Interview Log 


Media: Handwritten partial transcript on note paper of a 
nonexistent interview conducted by Foundation agents 
with Woleb, produced by the affected researcher in 
approximately two hours. 


Description: Numerous sections of the purported 
transcript are missing Woleb's responses to the 
questions, especially any having to do with his 
background or immediate activities before, during, or 
after the murders. After the agent interviewing him 
expresses satisfaction at having found him, Woleb 
laughs and spends several minutes comparing himself, 
his interrogator, and the Foundation to the movie Shrek. 
Specifically, he draws attention to the scene where 
Shrek metaphorically compares himself to an onion, 
claiming that ERROR - DATA CORRUPTED. Interview 
log ends with Woleb spontaneously disappearing from 
containment with no action taken by any Foundation 
employee. 


Addendum 3775.B: SCP-3775 Document Revision 
[CLASSIFIED]: Following an analysis by the Department, it 
has been determined that certain elements of SCP-3775's 
Description are inaccurate. Revisions have been made which are 
accessible to the Site Director and O5 Command. 


+ [ENTER CREDENTIALS] 
Item: SCP-3775 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All Reality 
Reassertion Events produced by SCP-3775 are to be 
immediately documented and the persons covertly 
scanned for the presence of SCP-3775-A by Mobile Task 
Force Xi-3 ("Body Snatchers"). If the subjects test 
negative, amnestics are to be issued by MTF Psi-10. If 
SCP-3775-A is detected, procedure LAYERED 
CHALICE is to be initiated (see Description). 


All other Containment Procedures are identical to the 
non-classified variant of this file. 


Description: 


If there are multiple subjects affected then each will line up and wait 
for the doors to open again, or until the 3-hour window has elapsed. 
Subjects outside the vehicle when time elapses will wander away in 
apparent confusion; when interviewed, they appear to have no 
memory of the event. After 5 AM, SCP-490 will lose its abnormal 
ability and the back doors can be opened. Any person(s) that 
entered into the truck during the time that the music was playing will 
have vanished. 


The freezers will have been stocked with frozen treats. Though the 
treats will contain traditional flavors (Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla), 
the wrapper advertises a surprise flavor. The "Super Surprise 
Flavor!" stated is human flesh incorporated into the product, which 
DNA testing has proven to be that of the subject(s) who entered the 
vehicle and subsequently vanished. 


Discovered in , Massachusetts, SCP-490 was located in the 
parking lot of a bank, from which it was then towed to an impound 
yard. The object had a parking boot attached to it and therefore 
could not escape. Shortly after the disappearances of several 
residents from the nearby trailer park, a team of Foundation agents 
were sent in to investigate. Discovering the truck and its contents 
the team paid the fine for it and drove it to Site-17. During the trip, it 
activated, causing the death of all team members except for Agent 

, who was driving the team's vehicle and realized what was 
causing his teammates to become entranced. Protocol A- was 
initiated and several more agents equipped with ear protection 
arrived. SCP-490 showed aggression, and when blocked by several 
Foundation vehicles started ramming into them and the Agents 
trying to capture it. After one (1) hour and forty three (43) minutes of 
chasing SCP-490 through back roads it deactivated and was moved 
to Site- ona flatbed truck.

SCP-3776: Camp Nimrod 


Item #: SCP-3776 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Thrift stores, garage sales, and 
other secondhand markets in Appalachia are to be consistently 
monitored by Foundation agents for signs of SCP-3776 activity. 
Should any artifacts related to the anomaly be discovered, they are 
to be seized and cataloged at Site-77. 


Subjects affected by SCP-3776 have been found to be resistant to 
amnestic treatments. As such, they are to be placed within an 
organization such as the Witness Protection Program and removed 
from the region. Once removed, memories and desires connected to 
SCP-3776 will fade over time. 


Description: SCP-3776 designates an anomalous phenomenon 
affecting much of the Appalachian region of the United States. All 
activity centers around an as-of-yet undiscovered recreational 
facility, "Camp Nimrod", which all recovered items indicate may have 
existed in the mid-1970's. 


Objects with iconography or other relation to Camp Nimrod, such as 
shirts, banners or craft projects will manifest in retail outlets selling 
secondhand clothing or items. Analysis of CCTV footage shows that 
these objects do not come into the stores from the outside and only 
appear once the merchandise has become available to purchase. 
Always placed in obscure locations, such as the bottoms of bins, it 
can take months or years for the items to be discovered. 


Physical contact with these objects causes vivid and detailed 
memories to manifest within the conscious thoughts of affected 
subjects; these memories center on time spent as an adolescent at 
a summer camp called "Camp Nimrod". Subjects describes the 
camp as having wooden cabins and being placed at the edge of a 


lake with a creek running to it, along with various camping activities 
such as tubing, archery, crafts and general roughhousing in the 
wilderness. Attempting to inquire about specific details such as 
location and the length of time camp lasted will be met with an 
apathetic or hostile response. 


Once a subject have been affected, a sealed cardboard container 
will appear in the attic of the last building where the subject's 
biological parents lived independently. If an individual other than the 
subject opens the box it will only contain ashes and a significant 
number of living Periplaneta americana (palmetto bugs). Should the 
subject open the box, it will contain numerous memorabilia related to 
their supposed Camp Nimrod experience. 


Beads, apparel, and other trinkets are usually found, along with 
various forms of media. Photographs are the most common format 
in all recorded cases. Depending on the individual's age there may 
also be videotape, film reels, and music sheets, along with sketches 
done in their hand. All of these feature the subject in some fashion. 
A yearbook-style group photo is present in most cases. These will all 
show signs of age- and exposure-related degradation.
