Description: SCP-1269 is a black, aluminum curbside mailbox, 
possessing a red flag and a white, plastic post. SCP-1269 stands 
1.3m tall, with the mailbox measuring 49.5cm x 15.2cm x 17.7cm, 
consistent with the T2 mailbox size in the United States. The 
number _ is printed on the right side. It lacks any manufacturer's 
marks, and has minor dents and abrasions, suggesting the object 
has been present on the same property for some time. Due to the 
nature of SCP-1269's effect, the object is permanently located in 

, Massachusetts in front of house number — on Avenue. 


SCP-1269's anomalous properties will manifest only when a single 
female 23 years or older (hereafter referred to as "the occupant") 
resides within the same property as SCP-1269. Approximately two 
(2) weeks after the occupant moves in, SCP-1269 will start to 
manifest unaddressed letters every four (4) days. The contents of 
the letter are romantic in nature, and are targeted towards the 
occupant of the house. Surveillance within SCP-1269 has shown the 
letters manifest approximately three (3) seconds after the occupant's 
mail has been delivered. 


Exactly three (3) weeks after the appearance of the first letter, 
SCP-1269's secondary anomalous properties will manifest. Letters 
will begin appearing daily, with contents becoming increasingly more 
obsessive and erratic, until the point that letters regress into single 


sentences. In some occasions, multiple letters will appear within 
SCP-1269. Additionally, when not under direct supervision of the 
occupant, SCP-1269 will teleport to a location near the occupant 
and face them. This location will be partially obstructed, such as 
behind windows, cracked doors, and shower curtains. Under special 
circumstances, such as during sleep or when obscured by darkness, 
SCP-1269 will teleport near the occupant without obstruction. 
Whether or not the occupant relocates SCP-1269, the object will 
continue to teleport between a range of one (1) to five (5) times 
every twelve (12) hours. SCP-1269 will not follow the occupant off 
the property, and all anomalous properties will cease manifesting 
after the occupant has either moved or expired. 


Attempts to remove SCP-1269 from its location have so far been 
unsuccessful. SCP-1269 will teleport to its original curbside location 
after one (1) hour of relocation. If attempts are made to replace 
SCP-1269 with a new mailbox, the mailbox will be teleported away 
with SCP-1269 appearing in its place. Approximately (3) hours after 
the disappearance of the new mailbox, it will reappear in a dumpster 
25km away behind an abandoned franchise. Mailboxes 
recovered so far have all been found in varying amounts of 
disrepair, within garbage bags, and covered in painted-on words and 
phrases. 


Addendum SCP-1269-A: On 07/12/04, D-69124, a male, was 
moved onto the property with the current test occupant, D-72803, 
after seven (7) weeks had passed. SCP-1269 stopped teleporting at 
this time. Three (3) days later, D-69124 disappeared from the 
property, causing SCP-1269 to resume all anomalous behavior. 


Two (2) weeks after disappearance, D-69124 was found in similar 
location as other replacement mailboxes. The subject was found 
within a large garbage bag with severe bruising and lacerations, an 
apparently fatal blow to the head, and a lack of hands and lips. See 
Documents SCP-1269-B for recorded phrasing.

| remember the day, the hour, the infinitesimal 

sliver of a second when | fell in love with you, 

realized | loved you and only you, the moment 
my heart stopped and | lived for you alone. 


Perhaps it was the way you carried yourself on 
the tired days, perhaps it was the way your

your path; would you understand how | longed

breeze, that small flower struggling through 
sidewalk cracks, that passing swanlike cloud in 
the sky, how | longed to be anything that would

you. 


08/09/98 


How could anyone describe one as perfect as 
you, vision of elegance and loveliness? Every 
action of yours I’ve observed is embodied in 
the fragility and delicacy of a twirling 
snowflake, and yet you waltz into eternity with 
the softest of motion, in perfect rhythm with the 
air and the world. 


You are beautiful. Every step, every pause, 
every breath of yours is a masterwork of the 
divine. Your presence brightens the world with 
a light that cannot be compared, you are the 


flower that nature cannot hope to match. 
08/15/98 


The color of your eyes reminds me of the 
depth and expanse of the night sky, a vast 
dazzling macrocosm of soft velvet and 
glimmering pinpricks of light. 


8/18/98 


Do you sing in the shower? If so, I’ve heard 
you. Such a tenderly beautiful voice matches 
its owner. 


8/21/98 


| think of you and nothing but you as the day 
flows by, | yearn for a faint shimmer of your 
face as everything darkens to night

SCP-1270: Man with a Gun 


Item #: SCP-1270 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The building containing 
SCP-1270 has been purchased by the Foundation via a front 
company, and is to be kept unoccupied; except for purposes of 
monitoring and approved experimentation, all access to the building 
is forbidden. 


Security personnel engaging SCP-1270-1 are not to use flares or 
incendiary rounds. 


Personnel whose clothing has been contaminated by SCP-1270-1's 
blood or other bodily fluids are not to return to the stairwell outside 
SCP-1270 until such time as on-site analysis has been either 
completed or aborted. 


Description: SCP-1270 is a phenomenon localized to the top floor 
of a three-story office building in the [REDACTED] Industrial Park 
outside the city of [REDACTED], whereby any intrusion onto the top 
floor! triggers the manifestation, somewhere on that floor, of an 
entity (henceforth SCP-1270-1) resembling a male adult human 
armed with a shotgun. 


Upon manifesting,2 SCP-1270-1 will attack intruders, firing at them, 
and pursuing them through the rooms and corridors of the top floor 
until all intruders have either been killed, fatally injured, or driven out 
of SCP-1270-1's "territory".3 If SCP-1270-1 is killed, its cadaver 
instantly demanifests, and another instance of SCP-1270-1 
manifests elsewhere on the top floor. 


SCP-1270-1 never leaves the boundaries of SCP-1270 on the top 
floor. If, subsequent to being captured and disarmed, SCP-1270-1 is 
carried across the threshold between the main hallway and the 


stairwell, it instantly demanifests, and another instance of 
SCP-1270-1 manifests elsewhere on the top floor. Demanifestation 
of SCP-1270-1 as a whole (and subsequent remanifestation) also 
results when tissue or fabric samples from SCP-1270-1 are taken 
across the threshold into the stairwell or passed out of an open 
window; the minimum sample size necessary to trigger this effect is 
not known, but the effect has been observed to result from sub- 
milliliter amounts of blood spatter. Consequently, all forensic 
analysis of samples must be performed onsite. SCP-1270-1's 
ammunition likewise demanifests upon exiting the borders of 
SCP-1270, but does not trigger the demanifestation of SCP-1270-1 
as a whole. 


Analysis of SCP-1270-1's identifying characteristics has been 
inconclusive: its facial features have been found to be those of 
[REDACTED], an inhabitant of [REDACTED], Utah (face on record 
as a result of several arrests for vagrancy, public intoxication, and 
shoplifting); its fingerprints have been found to be those of 
[REDACTED], an inhabitant of [REDACTED], Newfoundland 
(fingerprints on record as a result of several arrests for public 
intoxication and indecent exposure); its DNA matches that of 
[REDACTED], currently serving a life sentence in New South Wales 
for various sexual offenses; and its teeth display such advanced 
decay that Foundation forensic dentists have stated that 
identification via dental records is not feasible. Its shotgun is a 
Mossberg 590, but with a serial number indicating a Mossberg 
590A1. 


When interrogated post-capture, SCP-1270-1 responds with a 
constant stream of invective and profanity in various languages, 
including English, Cantonese, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, 
Hungarian, and Dutch. 


Footnotes 

1. See document 1270-4M for operational parameters of what is 
considered an "intrusion." 

2. Fiber-optic microcameras inserted via floor and rooftop boreholes 
have conclusively shown that SCP-1270-1 does not exist in the 
absence of intruders. 

3. Consisting of a hallway, five office suites, and a washroom; see 


document 1270-E-6 for detailed floor plan.

SCP-1271: Kickball Field, Sheckler Elementary 


Item #: SCP-1271 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Fencing is to be constructed 
around the area containing SCP-1271, with a space of 75 m 
between the fencing and SCP-1271. This perimeter is to be 
monitored by no fewer than five (5) guards at any given time, who 
are to deny all civilians access to SCP-1271. Guards are to be 
equipped with high-powered cameras with telephoto lenses and are 
to be trained in their use. SCP-1271 is to be monitored via video 
surveillance at all times. During a 1271-A event, all guards are 
instructed to prevent the commencement of the 1271-A event and 
detain all civilians involved. observe the 1271-A event and attempt 
to detain all civilians involved. maintain a distance of 25 m or greater 
from SCP-1271 during the event and make no attempt to interact 
with any civilians involved. 


During 1271-A events, guards are to take as many close-in 
photographs of the faces of civilians using SCP-1271 as possible. 
No fewer than twelve (12) parabolic microphones with diameters of 
17 m are to be trained on the field at any given time; during 1271-A 
events, microphones are to be focused on individual civilians and all 
spoken dialogue is to be recorded to aid in identification of affected 
civilians. All audio and visual data for each civilian are to be 
compiled and cross-referenced against all available databases using 
facial recognition software. Under no circumstances are Foundation 
personnel to enter within 25 m of SCP-1271 during a 1271-A event. 
Under no circumstances is any Foundation technology to be left 
within SCP-1271 except during authorized testing. 


All individuals identified as having participated in any 1271-A event 
are to be detained at Site 34 and questioned. 


Description: SCP-1271 is a square tract of land approximately 


20 mon each side, roughly landscaped into a functional kickball 
field. The field comprised a portion of the grounds of Sheckler 
Elementary School in Catasauqua, PA, before the school was 
closed in 1967. The grounds have been abandoned ever since. 


Approximately once per year, typically within two weeks of the 
summer solstice, SCP-1271 will become occupied by sixteen (16) 
civilians, ranging from five to eleven years of age. The means by 
which these civilians, identified here as SCP-1271-(1-16), travel to 
SCP-1271 is unknown; civilians have been noted originating from 
every continent and 124 countries. All affected civilians demonstrate 
symptoms of a trance state and are unwilling or unable to 
communicate with or acknowledge Foundation researchers in any 
way. Most children who are located, identified, and interviewed later 
claim to have no memory of their activities involving SCP-1271 and 
are unable to contribute to Foundation understanding of the 
mechanisms underlying SCP-1271. 


Upon arriving at the site of SCP-1271, civilians will begin carrying 
out a game of kickball according to accepted conventions of game 
rules; these games are referred to as 1271-A events. Civilians will 
divide themselves into two teams of eight apiece and play three full 
innings. Throughout the game, the civilians will display body 
language indicating pleasure and enjoyment, including smiling 
faces, laughing, and excited speech. The speech itself typically 
involves a syntax and vocabulary closely resembling the Unami 
language of the indigenous American Indian population of the 
region. At the conclusion of the game, the players will bow in the 
direction of the pitcher's mound and conduct a brief chant in the 
Unami language! before dispersing. As the affected civilians reach 
the perimeter of SCP-1271, they disappear from the area via an 
unknown form of teleportation. 


Two additional anomalous effects have been noted with regards to 
SCP-1271. First, when individuals not summoned to SCP-1271 
enter to within 25 m of the field during 1271-A events, these 
individuals will begin participating in the game. This participation will 
divide evenly between the two teams, either substituting for 
exhausted players or carrying out work such as supplying water or 
towels to players. At the conclusion of the game, individuals affected 


in this way disappear in the same manner as affected civilians. No 
affected Foundation personnel have yet been recovered. The 
second anomalous effect associated with SCP-1271 is documented 
in Addendum 1271-1.
