The wallet and passport confirm that SCP-1847's name is "William 
Whitword," it is 35 years old, and originates from [REDACTED], 
USA. The keys and phone have not been recovered for analysis. 
SCP-1847-1 has been recovered, but no analysis is as of yet 
possible, as forcibly removing SCP-1847-1 from SCP-1847's care 
will cause the entity to prematurely disappear (within 3 minutes of 
removal). Any item or accessory that has been removed from 
SCP-1847 will disappear simultaneously with the entity. 


SCP-1847 will manifest on public aircraft inbound to England.2 The 
exact point of manifestation appears to occur during the boarding 
process, though individuals exposed to SCP-1847 during this phase 
will be unable to remember the precise point of the entity's 
appearance. SCP-1847 does not travel with any luggage, carry-on 
or otherwise. Upon landing, SCP-1847 will immediately seek out an 
unmarried female aged between 27 and 34 years, and begin to court 
her. Due to SCP-1847's properties, the individual will 
enthusiastically reciprocate SCP-1847's advances, culminating in 
sexual intercourse. Upon completion of the sex act, SCP-1847 will 
produce SCP-1847-1 and murder the victim, always resulting 
through cardiac impalement. Upon death, the body will rapidly 
disintegrate, producing an item of jewelry, which is collected by 
SCP-1847. SCP-1847 will repeat this process until it has collected 5 
items, at which point it will immediately disappear. The items are 
always the same and collected in the same order: a ring, a bracelet, 
2 earrings (acquired separately) and a necklace, all crafted from 
gold and embedded with rubies. 


If SCP-1847 is confined and unable to perform its activities, it will 
disappear within 4-16 weeks of initial capture. No methods have 
proven viable in preventing this occurrence. Intervals between 
SCP-1847 manifestations can be as short as 2 weeks, or as long as 
18 months. SCP-1847 is mortal, though its death will not prevent 
further manifestations and termination is ill-advised. Should 
SCP-1847 die, its body will disappear, and a new manifestation will 
occur within 2-4 weeks, though this will occur on a public flight 
outbound from England. After landing, SCP-1847 will proceed with 
the above-mentioned activities as normal. 


Addendum [1847 -001]: Interview with SCP-1847 during 
containment at Site-117. 


Interviewed: SCP-1847 

Interviewer: Dr. Adler 

Foreword: First interview with SCP-1847. 
<Begin Log, 5:15 PM> 


Dr. Adler: Why did you kill those women? 


SCP-1847: | haven't killed anyone. 


Dr. Adler: Were you not travelling to England to murder 
five women? 


SCP-1847: ...1 haven't killed anyone. 


Dr. Adler: According to our records, you have killed 
women in England, _ in- 


SCP-1847: | have never been to England before! I've 
never been outside of the United States before! 


Dr. Adler: Why were you heading to London? 
SCP-1847: For business. 


Dr. Adler: You were not intending to seduce and stab 
five women to death with a dagger? 


SCP-1847: ... 


Dr. Adler: What is the last thing you did before planning 
this trip? 


SCP-1847: ...| went to an auction. 
Dr. Adler: ...An auction. Held by whom? 


SCP-1847: You expect me to remember the name? It 
was in [REDACTED]. Wait, | think | have... yes, this. 


SCP-1847 produces his wallet and withdraws a business 
card, which he hands to Dr. Albert. The Marshall, Carter, 
& Dark logo is plainly visible. 


Dr. Adler: Son of a bitch. 
SCP-1847: What? 

Dr. Adler: Why did you plan the trip? 
SCP-1847: It told me to. 


Dr. Adler: What did? 


SCP-1847: [DATA EXPUNGED]. 

Dr. Adler: What? 

SCP-1847: [DATA EXPUNGED]. Inside the dagger. 
Dr. Adler: Why did it tell you this? 

SCP-1847: ...1 like being beautiful. 

<End Log, 5:20 PM> 


Reconnaissance in [REDACTED] confirmed that a Marshall, Carter, 
& Dark auction took place in / /20 . Among the items detailed in 
this event was the following: 


Item 


A magnificent, ornate dagger, measuring 27cm in length. 
The hilt is crafted from 10-Carat gold and adorned with 
10 rubies. This blade will bestow its wielder with its 
unearthly beauty and lead them to further riches 
eternally. 


Starting Bid: $55,000,000 


Addendum [1847-002]: On / /20 , at 7:08 PM, SCP-1847 
withdrew a phone from its clothing while in containment. SCP-1847 
proceeded to communicate to an unknown individual through the 
device for 1 minute and 29 seconds. The voice originating from the 
phone's speaker was undetectable. No signal was detected entering 
or exiting SCP-1847's chamber. 


SCP-1847: Hello? 
SCP-1847: Hi, dear, no that's not- 
SCP-1847: Will you just listen to me for a second- 


SCP-1847: We've been through this before! There's no 
one! | just- 


SCP-1847: Calm down, honey, calm down- 
SCP-1847: ...Yes, | promise. 


SCP-1847: Yes. Yes. No, just tell the kids... yes, that. 
Good. 


SCP-1847: No, but I'm going to bring you something 
special. 


SCP-1847: It's a surprise. Oh, it will look beautiful on 
you. 


SCP-1847: Yes. | love you too. 
SCP-1847 closes the phone. 


Footnotes 

1. SCP-1847's effect applies only to androphilic individuals that 
identify as "female," including heterosexual and bisexual women of 
any age, and male-to-female transgender individuals who are 
attracted to men. 

2. Airline personnel have thus far not been able to account for the 
point at which William Whitword's name is added to the passenger 
list during each manifestation. 


« SCP-1846 | SCP-1847 | SCP-1848 » 


SCP-1848 


Item #: SCP-1848 
Object Class: Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: [Previous Iterations Expunged]: 
Containment Iteration 7' 


Initial Proposal, 1986: Direct contact with SCP-1848 is not permitted 
and should not be attempted under any circumstances. SCP-1848 is 
to be contained in a single room containment suite in Site-19's North 
Wing, subsection four. It is to be heavily guarded, with no fewer than 
eight regularly rotating guards and a constantly shifting staff.2 While 
basic amenities are allowed, these requests must be made through 
written statements, which are then carefully analyzed before being 
permitted. 


Revised Procedures: For Containment Lead's Eyes Only 


Revision, 1994: SCP-1848's containment team should be 
made up of people with low dynamic personality scores. 
It is paramount that SCP-1848 only be monitored by 
those without significant interests, hobbies, or other 
strong feelings about subjects. Amnestic dosing is 
appropriate for those who develop such interests, and 
rotation of staff is only necessary when amnestics are no 
longer a viable option. 


Description: SCP-1848 currently presents as a middle-aged, 
Caucasian male, approximately 1.7 meters tall and 130 kilograms 
(the approximate height, weight, and appearance of Dr. Ellis 
Cartwright, the head of SCP-1848's containment team). SCP-1848 
is known to change forms, but it has maintained its current form 
since the most recent revision of its containment procedures. During 
interviews with SCP-1848, it has claimed to be over a hundred 
different mythical and historical figures, including: Raven, Coyote, 


Loki, Hermes, Anansi, Saci, John F. Kennedy, and Jesus Christ. It 
never offers evidence to support these claims. Rather, people 
hearing them are simply convinced, usually through what they 
believe to be completely logical arguments (see Addendum 
SCP-1848-Interview Sample). 


SCP-1848 has been in the Foundation's custody for over seventy- 
five years, during which time it has breached containment on 386 
occasions. SCP-1848 does this by assuming the appearance of 
people, objects, or even locations which can be used to emotionally 
manipulate the viewer (see Addendum SCP-1848-Observations). 
Most often, SCP-1848 appears as a human being or animal from the 
observer's past. 


In the past, actions which seemed innocuous to those observing 
them — giving advice to researchers about their career goals, 
helping fix a broken door, preparing a meal — always resulted in 
strongly negative outcomes, usually things which SCP-1848 found 
amusing or humorous (see Addendum SCP-1848-Incidents). 
While three people have been critically injured in these incidents, 
SCP-1848 does not appear to be pursuing these attempts with 
malicious goals. Instead, it appears to find genuine amusement in its 
‘pranks’ and believes others do as well. 


After extensive research, it was discovered that SCP-1848's abilities 
are directly tied to the emotional and mental states of those it 
encounters. By minimizing encounters, incidents have dropped off 
drastically. Currently, SCP-1848 has not changed forms or shifted its 
appearance since Dr. Cartwright's major shift in its containment 
procedures in 1994. 


Addendum SCP-1848: Interviews 


While there are hundreds of recorded interviews with SCP-1848, 
only a handful are considered completely safe for observation. Far 
too often, SCP-1848's ability to convince people to perform tasks or 
open the containment chamber is conveyed to those observing it as 
entirely logical and sensible, even through text transcripts. The few 
examples retained here were chosen to educate new staff members 


about the dangers of non-standard communication with SCP-1848 
and has a text-communication rate of less than .35%.

SCP-1848 appears to Guard Alderman as, 
according to Alderman, a "good friend from 
middle school that I've not seen in years." 


SCP-1848: Man, |am hungry. Are you 
hungry? 


Guard Alderman: | could probably eat. Do you 
want something? 


SCP-1848: | do. You know what | could go for? 
A big, juicy steak. 


Guard Alderman: That does sound good. What 
sort of steak you like? 


SCP-1848: Well, way back when, | preferred 
bison, but now, | like a husticorn. 


Guard Alderman: Husticorn? Never heard of it. 
That some kinda cow? 


SCP-1848: Oh, yeah. It's the best kind of cow. 
See, they make sure that the cows are happy. 
You know happy cows give you more milk, 
right? 


Guard Alderman: |'ve heard something like 
that before, yeah. 


SCP-1848: Well, happy cows give better meat, 
too. 


Guard Alderman: No shit? 


SCP-1848: No shit at all, my man. They're 
delicious. 


Guard Alderman: How do they manage it? 


SCP-1848: They make sure they're getting... 
attention. 


Guard Alderman: You mean... 


SCP-1848: Mhmm. Those cows are gettin’ laid 
all day, every day. 


Guard Alderman: Now | know you're fucking 
with me. 


SCP-1848: No, no! On my honor, | am only 
preaching truth. 


Guard Alderman: And cows getting some 
means their meat tastes better? 


SCP-1848: It does. It genuinely does. 


Guard Alderman: Hell, now I've heard 
everything. 


SCP-1848: Oh, no. You've not heard the 
craziest part. 


Guard Alderman: Crazier than well-fucked 
cows being the best meat? 


SCP-1848: Even crazier. 
Guard Alderman: And what's that? 


SCP-1848: It's the farmers... what are doin' 


the damned fuckin'! 


Guard Alderman: What? Why the hell would 
they do that? 


SCP-1848: Well, they originally had the bulls 
doing it, but they got worn out. Couldn't keep 
up with it. So the farmers had to start going out 
to the pasture to pleasure the lady cows. 


Guard Alderman: <laughing> You're full of it. 


SCP-1848: No, no, no. | swear. Every word of 
it is true. 


Guard Alderman: Every word of it is true? 
SCP-1848: Every word. 


Guard Alderman: So you're telling me | should 
go diddle a cow for the best steak? 


SCP-1848: Well, you don't have to do the 
whole cow. Just part of the cow will do it. 


Guard Alderman: What? 


SCP-1848: Yeaaah. That's what the farmers 
figured out. They figured out that they could 
just hump a cow's flanks or anywhere they 
wanted to taste good, and it would work. 


Guard Alderman: <laughing> 


SCP-1848: | promise you. | promise you to this 
day, there are farms out there, husticorn 
farmers, who are grinding the nasty on their 
cows. 


Guard Alderman: <laughing> And that works 
with any part of the cow? 


SCP-1848: Any part. Best steak you ever had. 
Guard Alderman: <laughing> 


Guard Alderman was relieved of duty on a regular round 
change five minutes later. The next day, he was found in 
the Site-19 kitchen, pressing raw meat against his 
genitals. When approached by site security, he explained 
to them what he was doing and why, at which point, 
seven other members of site staff proceeded to do the 
same. It was not until a vigorous search of databases 
concluded that "husticorns" did not exist that those in 
question ceased preparing their meals in this way.

Addendum SCP-1848: Observations 


What follows is a short list of the various forms into which SCP-1848 
has changed. Please remember that SCP-1848 fully possesses the 
ability to change into a seemingly limitless number of forms, even 
though it currently does not. Do not underestimate its ability to trick, 
fool, or obfuscate the truth.

to be: "more open with your 
wife."4 

Appeared as a large, obese 
woman, laughing loudly, and said: 
"This is what you've been wanting 
to see for years, baby! This is the 
real me!" Agent [REDACTED] 
laughed, then responded that 
"Anything is better than nothing at 
this point." Following a moment of 
silence, SCP-1848's appearance 
shifted to that of a young woman, 
brown hair, in her early thirties, 
and remarked: "Here's what you 
really want then. But it's worse 
than the joke, really."5 

Appeared as Associate

Researcher Malki 'niece' several 
times. Agent Malki reported that 
she didn't have any uncies.6 
Appeared as the subject's 
childhood bedroom. When Dr. 
Walker entered, SCP-1848 
abruptly changed back into its 
previous form, then performed 
eructation. Testers believe Dr. 
Walker was dead until SCP-1848 
suddenly flatulated loudly, then 
squatted and defecated a 
shocked and unharmed Dr. 
Waiker onto the fioor.”
