Description: SCP-1380 is a phenomenon centered around the 
former multipurpose science lab at Dresden Elementary School in 
Dresden, TN. SCP-1380-A is the space within Dresden Elementary 
that formerly contained the science lab, labeled on diagrams as 
room #16. SCP-1380-B is a remote location on the peninsula of Baja 
California, centered on 25.2745° N, 111.2037° W. SCP-1380-C is a 


plastic light switch installed against the wall of the former science lab 
of Dresden Elementary School; this switch was present within the 
lab and otherwise ordinary prior to the development of SCP-1380's 
anomalous properties. 


When SCP-1380-C is set to "on", the DES science lab is located at 
SCP-1380-A within Dresden Elementary School. The room can be 
entered via the door to room #16 and displays no particularly 
anomalous characteristics; all windows display the expected view of 
the area outside of the building, all plumbing and electrical 
connections remain functional, and the room can be explored 
without difficulty. During these periods, SCP-1380-B appears to be a 
normal desert region and displays no anomalous properties. 


When SCP-1380-C is set to "off", the DES science lab is located at 
SCP-1380-B. A section of the ground at SCP-1380-B is replaced 
with the floor of the lab, upon which sits the tables, desks, and other 
furniture within the lab. The plumbing and electrical fixtures that 
should be located within the walls around the lab, including 
SCP-1380-C, are suspended in midair around SCP-1380-B, though 
the concrete walls themselves are not present. Excavations to date 
suggest that there is no terminal point to the geographic 
displacement below the ceiling of SCP-1380; the displaced region 
continues at least 400m beneath the surface of the phenomenon 
and may continue down to the Earth's core. 


While SCP-1380-B is occupied with the Dresden science lab, 
SCP-1380-A takes on the appearance of a nebulous black region. 
Any matter that crosses the threshold into SCP-1380-A during this 
time is inexplicably lost; the region neither emits nor reflects any 
light or energy at any measurable wavelength. Likewise, while 
inorganic materials present within the DES science lab are capable 
of surviving the transition from SCP-1380-A to -B without any 
noticeable damage, any organic matter within the space of the lab 
disappears when SCP-1380-C is flipped. The transit from 
SCP-1380-A to-B is as close to instantaneous as can presently be 
determined using modern equipment; this has been confirmed both 
within the DES lab and by observers on both sides outside the lab. 


Addendum 1380-1: Background No anomalous events were 
reported at the Dresden Elementary School multipurpose science 


lab prior to 11/02/07. The precise time of the initiation of extranormal 
behavior related to SCP-1380 is unknown; the room was used 
normally throughout that day and no unusual events were noted by 
any witnesses during first through fourth block, ending at 1445 
hours. Additionally, due to an unscheduled school closing related to 
the disappearance of a school bus along with several students that 
same day, the school was closed for several days afterward. 
SCP-1380 was first discovered by custodial staff on 14/02/07; one 
custodian was lost and another experienced spontaneous 
amputation of the left hand during an attempt to enter SCP-1380-A. 
Foundation personnel investigated the area as a Department of 
Human Services inspection team, discovered SCP-1380, and closed 
the school under the pretense of having found serious structural 
flaws within the building. Students were redirected to other schools 
throughout the county while Vincent Sender Elementary School was 
constructed in memory of a science teacher who was not seen again 
during the 11/02/07 crisis. Foundation researchers believe he was 
lost within SCP-1380 at some point; a cover story was crafted that 
explained his disappearance as a fatality during the "terrorist attack" 
that "destroyed" Bus #64 on that day. 


For more information regarding the anomalous event involving the 
school bus, please consult documentation for SCP-1480. For 
information regarding an additional anomalous event connected to 
SCP-1380, please consult documentation for SCP-1680.

SCP-1381: Cats’ Cabinet 


Item #: SCP-1381 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1381 is to be held in a 3m 
x 3m x 2m chamber lined with 6cm of lead sheeting. The chamber is 
to be hermetically sealed, unable to be opened from the inside and 
located at a Site that does not also house felid SCPs. All adult felids 
discovered on-site are to be captured and euthanized. Testing with 
SCP-1381 is suspended until further notice. 


Description: SCP-1381 is a 1.5m x .8m x .5m dresser cabinet 
made of pine, of a make and model identified as discontinued by the 
S Woodworking Company in 20 . It has two doors set beside 
three drawers, the knobs or pulls once present on both having been 
removed. The bottom drawer can be opened only partially, and is 
empty; neither the other drawers nor the doors can be opened 
manually. The surface of the wood on the left side of the cabinet is 
shredded and stained with blood. Testing has found the blood to be 
feline. Imaging has shown the interior to be empty and otherwise 
consistent with that of a typical cabinet of its make and model. 


SCP-1381 has the ability to attract felids with an area of effect 
approximately 15km in radius. SCP-1381's secondary effect varies 
depending on the species of felid coming into contact with the 
object. 


When Felis catus is introduced to SCP-1381, it will begin rapidly 
"digging" at the left side of the cabinet, often vocalizing distress. 
After one to five minutes of digging behavior, the right door of 
SCP-1381 will swing open and the animal will enter, the door 
swinging shut immediately behind it. Attempts to interfere with the 
felid's behavior will be met with violent resistance. Imaging of 
SCP-1381 up to ten hours after a subject enters the cabinet is 
impossible, as images will be completely black. 


Pantherines will rub their cheeks against the corners of SCP-1381, 
often vocalizing contentment, and display territorial behavior if 
interfered with. After rubbing has continued for at least five minutes, 
the right door will swing open and the animal will enter. Despite 
subjects’ size often being greater than that of the opening, no 
subject has been observed to be unable to enter the cabinet, only to 
have difficulty in doing so. Imaging again proves ineffective for ten to 
twenty hours after a subject enters the object. 


Current testing indicates that it is not possible to prevent the door 
from either opening or closing with conventional methods. 


Addendum: A period of time between 10 and 20 hours after a big 
cat enters SCP-1381, both doors will open and instances of 
SCP-1381-01 and SCP-1381-02 will emerge. 


SCP-1381-01 are feline-like beings possessing an outer surface that 
does not reflect light, luminescent eyes and elongated claws. 
SCP-1381-01 has been observed moving with greater agility than a 
standard feline, no doubt in part due to double-jointed limbs. 


SCP-1381-02 are [REDACTED], luminescent eyes and elongated 
claws similar to SCP-1381-01, but lacking the dark pigmentation. 
SCP-1381-02 are significantly larger than [REDACTED], and display 
increased speed, strength, endurance and [REDACTED]. 
SCP-1381-02 are capable of directing SCP-1381-01 via 
[REDACTED]. 


Testing has yet to determine the precise circumstances, rates, or 
time frame for this emergence. See test logs and Incident Log 
1381-01 for further information. 


+ Test Log for SCP-1381 


Test 1381-02 

Date: 3/5/ , 12:45 

Test Subject: One Felis catus, male adult, wearing cloth 
leash and harness, leash held by research assistant. 
Test to see if animal is retrievable after entering the 
object. 

Results: Subject exhibited digging behavior as 


expected. Behavior continued despite damage to 
subject's paws severe enough to cause bleeding. Door 
opened after three minutes, ten seconds and subject ran 
inside. Research assistant unable to retain hold on 
leash, which disappeared into the object, followed by 
door swinging closed. Test subject lost. 


Test 1381-03 

Date: 3/5/ , 13:30 

Test Subject: One Felis catus, male, 3 months old, 
tethered by cloth leash and harness, leash secured to 
metal anchor in floor. Test to see reaction of juvenile 
felines to SCP-1381. 

Results: Test subject showed great interest in climbing 
research assistant's trouser leg. Showed no concern for 
object. When placed atop it, subject began vocalizing 
distress after two minutes, due to difficulty in reaching 
the floor. Test stopped and subject recovered. 


Test 1381-04 

Date: 3/6/ ,9:15 

Test Subject: One Felis catus, female adult, tethered by 
harness and 3m of stainless steel grade 100 chain to a 
metal anchor driven into the testing chamber floor. 
Results: Test subject entered cabinet and chain went 
taut after three seconds. Black "fog" observed obscuring 
cabinet interior. Door swung closed on chain but 
rebounded. Research assistant tried to hold door open 
while a prop was fetched, but was thrown clear of 
SCP-1381 as door swung shut a second time, severing 
chain at doorjamb. Test subject lost, research assistant 
treated for minor injuries. 


Test 1381-05 

Date: 3/6/  , 15:00 

Test Subject: One Felis catus, female adult, tethered by 
harness and 15m of stainless steel grade 70 chain to a 
metal anchor driven into the testing chamber floor. 
Research assistant standing by with 1m long steel spike, 
10cm thick, to drop into hole drilled in testing chamber 


floor within radius of open door. 

Results: Test subject entered cabinet; chain went taut 
after fifteen seconds, giving research assistant enough 
time to place spike. Attempts to draw chain out of cabinet 
ineffective. Intense (~90 dB) squealing noise heard as 
metal spike bends at 90-degree angle. Researchers 
report severe aural discomfort. Cabinet door swung shut, 
severing chain at doorjamb. Test subject lost. 


Test 1381-06 

Date: 3/7/  , 11:20 

Test Subject: One Felis catus, male adult, without 
harness. SCP-1381 is wrapped in 10m of stainless steel 
grade 70 chain, secured with a high-quality security 
combination lock, with the left-hand panel free for testing. 
Test to determine whether SCP-1381 can be held shut. 
Results: Feline behavior as expected. SCP-1381 began 
to shake one and a half minutes after digging behavior 
started. Shaking increased in violence; right door seen 
straining against chain. After three minutes, twenty 
seconds, test subject's paws began bleeding. After three 
minutes, forty-five seconds, test subject began to dig at 
chain securing doors. Chain begins to bend. At five 
minute mark, chain breaks, releasing debris and injuring 
testing staff. Test subject unharmed and entered cabinet; 
lost. 


Test 1381-07 

Date: 3/9/  , 10:00 

Test Subject: One Panthera pardus, female adult. Test 
to see reactions of larger felines to the object. 

Results: Test subject began vigorously rubbing cheek 
against left-front corner of cabinet while grunting. 
Behavior continued for five minutes, forty seconds before 
door opened and test subject entered. Test subject lost. 


Test 1381-08 

Date: 3/9/  , 15:00 

Test Subject: One Panthera tigris tigris, male adult. 
Subject is wider at the shoulders than door opening. 


Results: Results similar to test 1381-07. Door opened 
after eight minutes, thirty seconds of cheek-rubbing and 
prusten. Entry hampered by subject's size. After 
repeated attempts by subject to gain access to inside of 
object and damage to testing room floor, opening was 
seen to bend around subject. Test subject lost. See 
Incident Log 1381-01. 


+ Incident Log 1381-01: Level 3 Clearance Required 
Date: 3/10/ , 1:00 
Location: Site- 


Description: At 1:06, report of "knocking" from inside 
SCP-1381's containment chamber by security guard A 
S . Security detail assembled to gain entry to 
containment chamber. 


Upon opening of chamber door at 1:11, security was 
overwhelmed by emergence of 143 instances of 
SCP-1381-01 and 2 instances of SCP-1381-02 from 
testing chamber, resulting in death of entire detail. 
Physical features of SCP-1381-02 are consistent with fur 
patterning of test subjects 1381-07 and 1381-08, though 
SCP-1381-02 are approximately 1.5 times larger than 
test subjects. 


At 1:13, containment breach alarms sounded. Security 
teams dispatched to contain threat. SCP-1381-02 appear 
to be leading SCP-1381-01 towards entry of Site- , with 
the larger instance directing SCP-1381-01 in teams 
against security forces. Security footage shows 
standard-issue bullets ineffective against SCP-1381-01, 
passing into but not out of creatures. SCP-1381-02 seen 
using SCP-1381-01 as shields against incoming fire. 


At 1:20, attempt is made by two security team members 
at request of command to establish communication with 
SCP-1381-02. Communication established for forty 
seconds before SCP-1381 attacks, resulting in two 


casualties. 


At 1:22, standard flamethrowers are issued to defensive 
squads and prove effective in destroying SCP-1381-01. 
By 1:28, all instances of SCP-1381-01 and smaller 
instance of SCP-1381-02 are eradicated. Larger 
SCP-1381-02 breaches inner security and is neutralized 
by automatic turrets and security forces with 
flamethrowers. 


Breach incident resulted in total of deaths and 
casualties. Security noted a mass of Felis catus 
gathered outside Site- during breach incident. 


Researcher's Note: We put ten cats in and got over a hundred back 
out. Either this thing multiplies them or it was saving them up until it 
got here. If the latter is the case, we must consider that containment 
risks another major breach event. Requesting upgrade to Euclid. - 


Request granted. Containment procedures updated. -O5-

SCP-1382: Save Our Souls 


Item #: SCP-1382 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1382 is contained off-site 
at coordinates [REDACTED], Lake Michigan. SCPS Seastar is to 
remain on permanent assignment 1 kilometer from SCP-1382, 
posing as Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates vessel SS 
Lobster Trap. Foundation operatives embedded in local Coast 
Guard services are to redirect air and sea traffic away from 
containment site. Any civilian traffic that approaches SCP-1382 is to 
be detained, interrogated, and administered class-B amnestics 
pending results of said interrogation. 


Description: SCP-1382-1 is a red sea mark water buoy, identical to 
models produced by . Registration matches existing model 
produced in 19 , but no abnormal behavior was reported until July 
7, 2012. SCP-1382-1 has suffered structural damage indicative of a 
high speed impact, likely from a light civilian motor craft, but is 
otherwise functional and intact. The Foundation was alerted to 
SCP-1382 after a pattern of recent missing persons reports led them 
to its coordinates. In dark weather or night conditions, SCP-1382-1 
flashes the international Morse code distress signal "S.O.S." at ten- 
second intervals. 


SCP-1382-1 is anchored to SCP-1382-2, which is embedded on the 
sea floor ata depth of meters. SCP-1382-2 is the remains of 
Airlines Flight 441, a commercial passenger liner that vanished over 
Lake Michigan on July 2, 1973. It has suffered extensive structural 
damage and degradation pertinent to an uncontrolled water landing 
and prolonged submersion. 


Contained within SCP-1382-2 are fifty-six instances of SCP-1382-3: 
skeletal human remains that are believed to be the former 
passengers and crew of SCP-1382-2. The remains of three reported
