All attempts to coax SCP-1195 into divulging information about its 
origins, history or other personal data have met with failure, as 
SCP-1195 states that it would need "permission" to share its 
personal history. 


Stories transcribed into SCP-1195 will in most cases not remain 
long, with the exception of stories of subjectively high quality or 
substantial length, which may stay for up to weeks. Most often, any 
previous story is erased as soon as a new subject arrives. 
SCP-1195 appears to remember certain individuals, and, based on 
previous story quality and other experiences, will show varying 
levels of excitement and cooperation during subsequent sessions. 


Attempts to damage the book have met with varied results. It is clear 
that cosmetic and superficial damage to the exterior is lasting. As 
such, experiments must adhere to a guideline that they do not cause 
further damage to this area. The pages, however, seem able to be 
replicated with no upward limit. SCP-1195 generates additional 
pages as needed. In the event that a page is physically removed 
from the object, text fades from the excised page immediately, and 
kerning on the remaining pages is adjusted so that the original full 


text is accommodated. 


Writing into the book has the same communicative results as 
speaking orally during initial interaction. Once the recitation process 
has begun, however, text handwritten in will be absorbed after a 
moment, and responded to. For example, a written-in note about 
SCP-1195's choice of formatting a particular paragraph will be 
considered, and either disregarded, or the format changed.

SCP-1196: Chairopractors 


Item #: SCP-1196 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The building formerly housing 
the Back Clinic and SCP-1196 has been repurposed as a 
Foundation front business. The entrance to the basement has been 
replaced by a reinforced steel door and is to be triple locked. The 
unlocking codes are only available for access by level 3 personnel 
and higher. If SCP-1196's area of effect appears to have shifted in 
any way, the Site Director should be contacted immediately. 


Under no circumstances, unless explicitly for testing, are chairs 
allowed within SCP-1196. 


Description: SCP-1196 is the basement of the former 

Back Clinic, located in ; . The basement walls and ceiling 
are all composed of concrete, with several support pillars at various 
points in the room. The floor is unfinished. Fluorescent lighting tubes 
line the ceiling, but only three (3) of them remain in working 
condition. 


SCP-1196’s anomalous properties only arise when a chair! is 
introduced to it. As soon as the legs of a chair are allowed contact 
with the floor of SCP-1196, it becomes an instance of SCP-1196-1. 


SCP-1196-1 is the designation given to any chair under the effect of 
SCP-1196. Instances of SCP-1196-1 appear to gain sentience and 
the ability to move independently, either by shuffling across the floor, 
or — in the case of folding chairs — rapidly opening and closing 
their legs. Chairs removed from SCP-1196 lose all anomalous 
properties. 


Instances of SCP-1196-1 are able to speak in English through 
unknown means; these vocalizations consist of short, clipped 


sentences spoken in a high-pitched, "squeaky" voice. Instances of 
SCP-1196-1 will only vocalize when a human being is inside 
SCP-1196, regardless of their distance from the subject. 
Vocalizations are usually commands that refer to the spinal health 
and posture of the subject. However, these commands are not 
based on the subjects’ actual spinal health, with instances of 
SCP-1196-1 saying the same sentences regardless. 


+ Sample SCP-1196-1 Phrases 


“Stand up straight!” 

“Don’t slouch!” 

“Fix your posture!” 
“Slouching causes scoliosis!” 
“I said stand up straight.” 
“Straight.” 


If ahuman being spends more than 30 minutes within SCP-1196, all 
instances of SCP-1196-1 will fixate upon the individual, hereby 
referred to as the subject. Instances of SCP-1196-1 will follow the 
subject around and instruct them more clearly on their spinal health. 
If more than one human being is within SCP-1196, instances of 
SCP-1196-1 will fixate on a random individual. Exiting SCP-1196 
negates this effect. If the subject remains inside SCP-1196, several 
changes will occur in the current SCP-1196-1 population. As time 
elapses, instances of SCP-1196-1 will grow more active and 
vocalize more often, and the voice used will become deeper and 
louder. 


If the subject remains within SCP-1196 for approximately 60 
minutes, instances of SCP-1196-1 will vocalize rough commands 
and statements about the subjects’ spinal health in a more negative 
light, frequently repeating phrases such as “Awful posture” in 
threatening tones. After approximately 80 minutes, instances of 
SCP-1196-1 will begin to assault the subject; methods of attack 
include ramming, tripping, stabbing (with chair legs), and crushing. 
The population of SCP-1196-1 will repeat these actions until the 
subject either escapes or is killed. However, instances of 
SCP-1196-1, despite being non-sapient entities, appear to display 
remorse for these actions, vocalizing various apologetic phrases. 
Individual instances of SCP-1196-1 have attempted to move or bury 


the bodies, often times trying to utilize tools like shovels and 
brooms, to little effect. 


+ Sample “Apologetic” Phrases: 


“We're sorry.” 
“Apologies.” 
“I’m sorry.” 
“Tried helping!” 
“Forgive?” 


Footnotes 

1. Hereby defined as an object with four legs and a seat that is 
designed for sitting in; rolling chairs are not affected, although 
rocking chairs are.

SCP-1197: Room For One 


Item #: SCP-1197 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1197 is to be fitted with a 
Foundation issue keycard lock designed to match neighboring units. 
Management has been instructed to inform both staff and guests 
that SCP-1197 is indefinitely inaccessible. 


Two armed personnel are to be incorporated into the civilian staff in 
the security office. Any subjects emerging from SCP-1197 are to be 
detained and administered medical and psychological treatment 
before being interviewed. 


Following an active session SCP-1197 is to be thoroughly searched 
and cleaned with the entrance door secured open. Any anomalous 
items and bodies are to be removed and studied. SCP-1197-1 is not 
to be manipulated at any time outside of testing. 


Description: SCP-1197 is hotel suite in [REDACTED], containing 
a bedroom area, bathroom, and typical furnishings including a 
television, mini-fridge, and telephone. The windows on the far wall of 
the bedroom cannot be opened and the walls, floor, and ceiling 
cannot be damaged or breached by any known means. When 
viewed from through the windows from outside SCP-1197 appears 
as a clean and unoccupied room at all times. 


SCP-1197 can be occupied for any amount of time and freely 
vacated, provided the occupant does not open SCP-1197-1. 
SCP-1197-1 is a doorway in the western wall of SCP-1197. 
Although it appears to connect to the adjacent suite, the 
corresponding door inroom cannot be opened. SCP-1197-1 
remains locked unless the entrance door to SCP-1197 is closed, at 
which point SCP-1197-1 can be opened. 


Opening SCP-1197-1 will reveal an identical version of SCP-1197, 
including any current occupants, who have opened their version of 
SCP-1197-1 at the same moment. New instances of subjects exhibit 
accurate knowledge in response to questions of identity, and act ina 
similar manner. Posthumous testing reveals no biological 
discrepancies. 


SCP-1197 has demonstrated the ability to spawn items during an 
active session, out of view of any occupants. Utilities, with the 
exception of the telephone, continue to function, but occasionally 
experience outages. 


During an active session the entrance door to SCP-1197 will no 
longer open and cannot be breached from either side. Should 1 
instance of each occupant expire, SCP-1197-1 will close and the 
entrance door will open for whichever room is currently occupied. To 
date all recorded deaths within SCP-1197 have resulted from 
homicide. 


Addendum: 

Note: The Foundation became aware of SCP-1197 4 days into 
Incident 1197/3. Interviews with hotel staff and local authorities 
provided information regarding previous incidents. For clarification 
purposes, surviving subjects are designated -1, -2, etc. while their 
duplicates are designated -A, -B respectively. 


Show Incident Logs 


Subject: 

Duration: Approximately 16 hours 

Subject-1 failed to check out of SCP-1197. 
Hotel staff could not open door, authorities 
notified. Before police arrived subject exited 
SCP-1197, appearing distressed and acting 
violently towards anyone approaching him. A 
battered body similar in appearance to the 
subject was discovered in SCP-1197. Subject 
arrested and interrogated before committing 
suicide in police custody. 


Interrogation logs provided rough details of an 


SCP-1197 active session, during which the 
subject-1 accused subject-A of lying about his 
identity, denied the reality of the situation, and 
attempted escape. Eventually the subject-1 
subdued and tortured subject-A to gain 
additional information and/or freedom. Subject- 
A expired from inflicted injuries, at which point 
SCP-1197-1 closed and the entrance door 
opened. Posthumous DNA testing revealed a 
match between the subject-1 and subject-A. 


Subject: 

Duration: Unknown 

A body matching subject-1 was found in 
SCP-1197 by cleaning staff at approximately 
12:15pm the day after subject-1 checked in. A 
police investigation determined the cause of 
death to be asphyxiation using a leather belt 
matching the one worn by subject-A. Time of 
death estimated at 9:30am. Hotel security 
video and front desk logs show subject- 1 
exiting room and checking out at 9:37am. 
Subject-1's current location unknown. 


Subject: and 

Duration: Approximately 45 days 

Before the Foundation could secure the site 
subject-1 (male) and subject-2 (female) 
activated SCP-1197. On-site personnel 
responded to the re-opening of SCP-1197 to 
discover subject-1 assaulting subject-2. 
Subject-1 detained, subject-2 transported to 
nearest hospital under guard. 


Interview reveals subjects to be a married 
couple. Subject-1 opened SCP-1197-1 while 
unpacking, discovering subject-A and subject- 
B. After a few hours of panic and argument 
subject-2 and subject-B were able to calm their 
husbands and all 4 agreed to rest and await 


rescue. Subject-B discovered wrapped 
sandwiches in their mini-fridge which hadn't 
been there previously, sharing them amongst 
all 4 subjects. The fridge replenished every 
day at first, but gradually produced food less 
and less frequently. Over the following weeks 
tension grew between the couples until they 
decided to keep SCP-1197-1 closed and 
check in daily. 


Eventually subject-A claimed the fridge ceased 
producing food, resulting in a violent 
altercation, after which SCP-1197-1 was 
closed and barricaded from both sides. 
Several days later subject-1 awoke to find 
subject-2 missing. Forcing SCP-1197-1 open 
subject-1 discovered subject-A in bed with 
subject-2 and subject-B. All 3 claimed 
innocence to accusations of infidelity. 
Subject-1 assaulted subject-A, leading to the 
death of subject-A and subject-B. SCP-1197-1 
closed and entrance door opened. 2 bodies 
were recovered for study. Subject-2 expired 
from injuries before being interviewed. 


Subject: D-1916, a 28yr. old male convicted of 
a gang-related homicide 

Duration: Approximately 9 days 

D-1916 instructed to enter SCP-1197, wait 
until the entrance door was closed and open 
SCP-1197-1. D-1916 equipped with audio and 
video recording devices. Remote feeds were 
lost when SCP-1197-1 was opened. Upon 
exiting SCP-1197 D-1916-1 attempted to 
escape the hotel before being detained. 


D-1916-1 described meeting D-1916-A and 
exchanging questions until both accepted their 
situation. D-1916-1 and D-1916-A attempted 
escape, but were unable to breach doors and 


windows, or contact anyone via telephone. 
Over the next week increasingly elaborate 
plans were enacted but all met with failure as 
various utilities such as power, water, and air 
conditioning began failing for long periods. 
Arguing intensified until D-1916-1 discovered 
an electric iron in the closet and bludgeoned 
D-1916-A to death. SCP-1197-1 closed and 
the entrance door opened. Body, iron and 2 
recording devices recovered for study. 


Recovered recordings show a clean, quiet and 
unoccupied room matching that seen through 
the windows. The videos follow the movement 
of each subject, but even when pointed at 
each other or at mirrors do not show the 
subjects or recording devices. 


Subject: D-985, a 24yr. old male convicted of 
three related homicides 

Duration: 5 minutes 

D-985 armed with a loaded pistol and fully 
informed about the nature of SCP-1197. D-985 
instructed to enter SCP-1197, wait until the 
entrance door was closed and open 
SCP-1197-1. Entrance door opened minutes 
later, revealing D-985-1 leaning against 
armchair with a gunshot wound in the side, 
facing a closed SCP-1197-1. D-985-1 ordered 
by armed personnel to drop pistol and lay face 
down. D-985-1 complied. 


D-985-1 described opening SCP-1197-1 and 
being shot before returning fire and 
presumably terminating D-985-A. Personnel 
report not hearing any gunshots or other 
noises from SCP-1197 until entrance door re- 
opened. D-985-1 escorted from SCP-1197 and 
treated by medical personnel. 


Subject: D-5482, a 40yr. old female convicted 


of a domestic homicide 

Duration: 38 hours 

D-5482 instructed to enter SCP-1197, wait 
until the entrance door was closed and fully 
explore the room. After 38 hours entrance door 
opened but D-5482-1 did not exit. Security 
personnel entered SCP-1197 and discovered 
D-5482-1 sitting on the bed cradling D-5482-A, 
who had expired from a gunshot wound to the 
temple. A single pistol was found on the floor 
which had not been issued to the subject. 
D-5482-1, body and pistol removed from 
SCP-1197. D-5482-1 was calm and refused to 
describe her experience, explaining only that 
she had "dealt with her issues." 


Subject: Dr. Harrison
