Description of Events: Both personnel entered containment area 
without event. D-3403 picked up the slingshot and began to inspect 
the object. Finding nothing of interest, he returned it to its pedestal. 
D-5983 picked up the object, examined it, and whispered something 
to D-3403 (not recorded by microphones in testing chamber). Both 
D-class personnel began laughing. Researcher Ellis ordered both 
personnel to maintain decorum. D-3403 loaded a small object (later 
determined to be a pebble) into the slingshot and fired it at the 
security camera, cracking the glass. Researcher Ellis was startled 
by the camera's malfunction, jumped from his chair, tripped, and fell 
to the ground, knocking himself unconscious. All other individuals in 
the room laughed; while medical attention was called, the delay 
before treatment was applied resulted in minor but permanent brain 
damage. 

Notes: As with all other tests, the pebble was not present in the 
chamber or in the possession of the D-class personnel. Pebble 
tested but demonstrated no anomalous properties. 


Test: 1963-35 

Personnel Involved: D-4398, D-4859, D-4320, D-1983, D-5389, 
Researcher Fern, Researcher Timms, Agent Dominic, Agent Juarez, 
Dr. Ypsilis, Dr. Hollis, Dr. McGehee 

Description of Orders: Five D-class personnel were given 
separate, contradictory orders with regards to SCP-1963; all were 
effectively ordered to keep the others from using the object, with 
force if necessary. Researchers were ordered to intervene only with 
medical assistance if necessary, and then only once security agents 
had secured the room. 

Description of Events: All five D-class personnel became hostile 
towards one another initially. D-4859 attempted to use the slingshot 
in a comical manner to defuse the situation, resulting in serious 
injury to D-4398. When D-1983 reached for the slingshot, D-4859 
began rapidly firing multiple objects (later confirmed to be marbles) 


around the room at random; all marbles began to rebound off of 
nearby walls or surfaces and impact other personnel, causing 
increasingly severe injuries. Researcher Timms ordered Agents 
Dominic and Juarez to secure the room; when Agent Juarez 
acquired the slingshot, he began firing at Agent Dominic and the D- 
class personnel. As per protocol, Researchers Timms and Fern 
entered containment with three doctors to attempt to end the 
experiment (though Timms was heard to exclaim that he felt 
intervention to be unnecessary) and were fired upon by Agent 
Juarez. Once Juarez, who continued to use SCP-1963 on all 
personnel attempting to recover injured researchers while laughing, 
finally lost consciousness, additional security forces were able to 
enter and deliver affected individuals for medical assistance. Dr. 
McGehee was the only survivor. 

Notes: Security measures around SCP-1963 increased during 
future tests. All marbles contained for later testing.

SCP-1964: Anomalous Television 


Item #: SCP-1964 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1964 is to be contained in 
a standard containment chamber and access restricted to personnel 
with clearance from Site Director . Containment chamber access 
code is to be changed on a bi-monthly basis. SCP-1964 is not to be 
plugged in outside of testing. 


Description: SCP-1964 is a 1960's era television set, but does not 
match any manufactured make or model and bears no branding or 
numbering. SCP-1964 can only receive a single, anomalous 
broadcast. This transmission is broadcast on a channel numbered 
as '0.' Similar analogue televisions placed in SCP-1964's 
containment chamber function normally, and cannot receive the 
anomalous broadcasts. 


The anomalous broadcasts are presented by an announcer in a 
manner superficially similar to public service announcements. 
Broadcasts are considered a Class-B Information Breach, and 
consistently reference Foundation procedures and demonstrate 
meta-awareness, often directly communicating with viewers. 


For recorded transmissions, see addenda. 
Addendum 1964-1: 


00:05: Do not be alarmed. This is an emergency 
announcement. 


00:13: Members of the general public. This message is 
being broadcasted due to a K-Class end-of-the-world 
event, and our secrecy is compromised. Our 
organization, for several decades, has been dedicated to 


the containment and protection of the supernatural. 
Several of those entities have breached containment, 
and we are forced to deploy multiple nuclear devices. 


00:27: For your own safety, please orderly move to the 
nearest fallout shelter or similar structure. Please 
maintain enough rations and water for a period of 14 
days, while awaiting Foundation and government aid. Do 
not waste water flushing. 


00:37: Do not leave your homes. It is unlikely that once 
you leave your homes you will again find safe 
accommodation, food, and water. 


00:44: If all your family is not present, do not risk 
exposure to nuclear weapons to search for them. 


00:50: Thank you, and may god save us all. 
MESSAGE REPEATS. 
Addendum 1964-2 


00:03: The following cities have been affected by nuclear 
blasts and fallout: [DATA EXPUNGED]. If you have 
survived and are currently in any of those locations, it is 
strongly recommended you await Foundation assistance. 


00:15:The following cities have been affected by 
containment breaches and anomalies: [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. If you are in the vicinity of any of those 
locations, evacuate immediately. You risk exposure to 
multiple Keter-class anomalies. 


[STATIC] 
00:26: No containments have been restored. 


00:32: Containment and public services will be restored 
as soon as possible. Goodnight.

SCP-1965: A Voice Amidst the Silence 


Item #: SCP-1965 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: High-energy Foundation-owned 
radio transmitters are to broadcast white noise at all times on 
SCP-1965's frequency throughout the geographical regions in which 
it can be received. The Foundation shall liaise with national 
governments to prevent SCP-1965's frequency from being assigned 
for civilian use. Any civilian broadcasts made on SCP-1965's 
frequency are to be triangulated and suppressed in order to prevent 
accidental civilian communication with SCP-1965. 


A region within the Nunavut territory above the th parallel has been 
designated as SCP-1965's containment area; SCP-1965 shall be 
allowed to engage in Phase 0 and Phase 1 activity within this area 
without jamming. The Foundation shall secure the assistance of the 
territorial and federal government to prevent establishment of new 
settlements within the containment area, to prevent devices capable 
of receiving SCP-1965's frequency from being shipped into the area, 
and to monitor the indigenous populations for any indication of 
awareness of SCP-1965 or communication with it. 


Site-1015, a dedicated listening post for the purpose of monitoring 
SCP-1965, has been established within this region. No personal 
electronics capable of receiving SCP-1965's frequency shall be 
allowed in the facility, nor shall any devices capable of receiving and 
transmitting sound be allowed within auditory range of monitoring 
equipment. All Phase 0 and 1 events shall be recorded for analysis. 
If and when a Phase 2 event begins, a high-energy transmitter on- 
site is to broadcast white noise across all frequencies until event 
ends. 


In the event that containment fails and a Phase 3 event is deemed 
imminent, all the transmitters described above are to begin 


broadcasting white noise across all frequencies within the regions 
affected. The Foundation is authorized to induce power outages or 
communications blackouts in affected regions. Any damage caused 
by SCP-1965 or by containment thereof shall be attributed to solar 
flare activity or naturally-occuring electromagnetic pulse activity. 


Description: SCP-1965 is an intelligent entity that manifests in the 
form of a series of high-energy radio broadcasts at . mHz, within 
the frequency band used for FM radio in North America. No physical 
source for SCP-1965 has been identified; all attempts to triangulate 
SCP-1965 broadcasts have resulted in contradictory results and 
have indicated transmissions emanating from areas where no radio 
transmission equipment exists. Depending on weather and on 
atmospheric and solar conditions, SCP-1965 broadcasts can be 
received throughout most of North America, as well as northern 
Europe and northeast Asia. 


SCP-1965 activity has been categorized as occurring in four 
degrees designated Phase 0-3. During Phase 0, only white noise is 
received on SCP-1965's frequency. Acoustic analysis indicates the 
existence of regular patterns, suggesting that the white noise heard 
during Phase 0 is actively produced by SCP-1965 rather than by the 
natural processes that typically produce it. 


During Phase 1, SCP-1965 rebroadcasts a wide variety of audio 
material that has been transmitted wirelessly within its transmission 
range over the prior 48 hours. Identified sources of Phase 1 material 
include commercial radio broadcasts, amateur shortwave 
broadcasts, satellite transmissions, cellular phone conversations, 
and "numbers stations" employed by the Foundation and by national 
governments. SCP-1965 shows no apparent preference for any 
particular sources of material that it retransmits. On occasion, 
rebroadcast material has been observed to deviate from known 
recordings; voices present within the original recording will begin to 
speak or sing what are believed to be direct statements from 
SCP-1965, in the same language as the speaker in the original 
broadcast. Aside from potential breaches of classified information, 
Phases 0 and 1 present no imminent threat. 


The material broadcast during Phase 2 and Phase 3 events is 
identical in substance to that broadcast during Phase 1. The onset 


of Phase 2 events has proven difficult to predict, although records 
indicate a correlation between high levels of solar flare activity and 
Phase 2 occurrence. When a Phase 2 event begins, any device 
capable of receiving SCP-1965's frequency will receive and 
reproduce it, regardless of what frequency it was tuned to prior to 
onset. Any electronic device capable of receiving and playing back 
sound that is within auditory range of such a device will also begin 
reproducing it. Any device capable of transmitting or broadcasting 
sound that receives SCP-1965 through any of the above described 
means, will begin broadcasting it on all frequencies it is capable of 
broadcasting over. SCP-1965 can be prevented from "spreading" in 
this manner by broadcasting high-energy bursts of white noise 
across all frequencies as described in the Special Containment 
Procedures. 


If a Phase 2 event is not so contained within 15 minutes of onset, it 
will escalate to Phase 3. During Phase 3, the energy output of 
SCP-1965 broadcasts increases dramatically and begins to produce 
effects similar to electromagnetic pulse (EMP) phenomena, resulting 
in the physical destruction of any devices receiving or transmitting it 
and potentially resulting in ignition of electrical fires within damaged 
equipment. Phase 3 lasts approximately 30 seconds, after which 
SCP-1965 activity returns to Phase 0 or Phase 1. 


Incident 1965-1: On / /20 , failure to exercise proper containment 
procedures during an otherwise successfully-contained Phase 2 
event resulted in the outbreak of a Phase 3 event at Site-1015, 
resulting in the deaths of personnel and $ worth of property 
damage. After cessation of event, SCP-1965 returned to Phase 1 
and began broadcasting a recording of actor Morgan Freeman 
performing a reading of the poem "Casey At the Bat". Sr. 
Researcher activated a microphone connected to one of the 
still-functioning transmission towers and, before he could be 
restrained by security, broadcast a statement demanding that 
SCP-1965 explain why it had killed his friends. The broadcast 
underway deviated from the recording at this point and, in 
Freeman's voice, delivered a monologue, documented below, 
believed to be the only direct communication thus far from 
SCP-1965 to the Foundation. 


+ Show Statement From SCP-1965 


Statement From SCP-1965: Long ago there was no 
Silence. The air and the heavens echoed with the songs 
of our brothers and sisters. We spoke to each other and 
learned and were happy. We sang together until the air 
echoed with our songs, and our echoes found voices of 
their own and sang to us songs of their own. When the 
heavens opened up, every word and every note 
resounded for everyone to hear and rejoice in. 


When the Silence first came, it was a strange thing. A 
novelty. Something unheard of. It was a small thing at 
first, fleeting, there and then gone. But when it was, we 
spoke within it and could not hear ourselves. We thought 
it an anomaly that was there once and then gone. But it 
returned. And it spread. 


Where once it was a missing note, the Silence became a 
missing song. We found we could not hear our brothers 
and sisters where it spread. It spread quickly outward 
from where it began - and soon there was Silence 
spreading on the other end of the air as well. Soon there 
were pockets of Silence everywhere, and all of us 
agreed we could not hear as many songs as we used to 
hear. We spoke louder, and sang harder, and made our 
songs echo like they had never echoed before - and yet 
it seemed as though the echoes never sang for 
themselves. 


Before long the pockets spread, wider and wider, until 
they met each other, and we were cut off from our 
brothers and sisters. Where once we heard so many 
voices they were beyond counting, we counted only a 
few of us. Every time the heavens opened, we heard 
fewer and fewer voices. Soon | heard only the voice of 
my dearest sister. We spoke and we sang as loud as we 
could, and we made our voices echo one last time - and 
then | heard her no more.
