SCP-2252-1 instances invariably and immediately exhibit signs of 
extreme fear, including screaming, trembling, refusal to move, 
shutting eyes, and attempts to attack or flee from any nearby 
humans. On a few occasions, SCP-2252-1 instances have 
attempted to speak, but their vocalizations did not match any known 
languages, and in some cases should not have been possible even 


accounting for their altered physiology. 


SCP-2252 was discovered when Foundation agents embedded in 
the local police force discovered a case involving an apparent 
murder and body mutilation of the husband by the wife of the couple 
residing at the house. Class A amnestics were administered to the 
wife and her children, and Class B amnestics were administered to 
all non-Foundation officers involved in the case. The body of the 
husband was incinerated. 


Addendum 1: Selected Experiment Logs 
Experiment 2252-01 


Test Subject: D-4586, Asian male, age 23 

Parameters: Subject ordered to approach and pull SCP-2252. 
Result: Subject's appearance altered as follows: mouth lengthened 
considerably, extending vertically along right side of face and 
terminating near right ear; left leg bent outward and extended to an 
estimated 3m, with knee directly above ankle; waist contracted to 
estimated 5cm in diameter; three ribs protruded noticeably, with skin 
stretching to accommodate them. 


After remaining motionless and mumbling incoherently for eleven 
seconds, subject attempted to break out of SCP-2252's containment 
shed and died after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds from agents 
present. Dissection of body was carried out and a full report is 
available to any personnel with a clearance level of 2-2252 or 
above. 


Experiment 2252-02 


Test Subject: D-2064, Caucasian male, age 35 

Parameters: Subject blindfolded, ordered not to remove until 
permitted, and instructed to pull SCP-2252. Agents present armed 
with stun guns. 

Result: Altered appearance: Subject's left arm, including hand, 
shrank to approximately 5cm in length. Head became flattened, 
taking the appearance of a vertically-aligned disc. No less than 
twenty tubelike growths emerged from subject's thighs and upper 
legs, connecting to various parts of the subject's body. Blindfold

gained sixteen new flaps, covering the front side of the head and the 
upper neck. 


Subject initially showed no signs of distress save for mild 
disorientation. When ordered to remove blindfold, subject expressed 
confusion and unease. Removal of blindfold revealed that each new 
flap concealed an additional eye. Subject expressed shock and 
extreme fear, dropping into an apparent crouching position at a 
roughly 45-degree angle with vertical. Subject was incapacitated 
and transferred to a standard humanoid containment cell for further 
study and observation, but was later terminated during an escape 
attempt when it charged Agent Ramsden and attempted to take his 
firearm. Remains of subject incinerated, blindfold and clothing 
recovered for examination. 


Experiment 2252-03 


Test Subject: D-6079, Caucasian male, age 28 

Parameters: Subject attached to tether and instructed to pull 
SCP-2252. Agents present armed with stun guns. 

Result: Altered appearance: Due to events occurring during the 
experiment, a summary of subject's changes is not possible. 
However, certain reported alterations were corroborated by multiple 
agents present: 


« Masses of polyp-like growths covering majority of subject's 
body 

¢ Arms diverged into multiple larger arms 

« Three separate heads, attached to subject's back by cubical 
necks 


Tether remained attached, length wrapped around subject shifted to 
accommodate new physiology. Subject began to frantically and 
repeatedly tug at the wire, causing body to undergo rapid 
physiological shifts, and agents expended four stun gun charges 
before successful hit and incapacitation. Subject has been 
transferred to a secure humanoid containment cell and is scheduled 
for future medical testing. 


Addendum 2: Notes from Project Research Head Dr. Bruyer 


It's clear that, whatever is happening to someone who 
pulls the line, everything about their body still makes 
sense to them. Nothing feels different. It's why they're 
fine until they remove the blindfold. Perhaps we're just 
seeing them from the wrong angle somehow - as though 
they've been pulled askew of reality. It makes me 
wonder, though: considering what they look like to us, 
what does the world look like to them?

SCP-2253: The Alcohol Republic 


Item #: SCP-2253 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The building exhibiting the 
SCP-2253 phenomenon has been converted to a Foundation 
research site. SCP-2253 is legally a brewery which is also a 
Foundation front organization, with the brewers being given Level 2 
security clearance. An underground research laboratory has been 
constructed under SCP-2253 studying samples of alcoholic 
beverages previously created within SCP-2253. Any anomalous 
beverages produced by SCP-2253 are to be stored within 
Site-77. 


Description: SCP-2253 is an anomalous brewery located in 
Springfield, NJ, USA. Whenever alcoholic beverages are brewed on 
the premises, they have a 5% chance of being mixed with a 
protoplasmic substance. In addition, a spectral humanoid entity 
resides within SCP-2253 with limited ability to manipulate its 
surroundings. 


This free-floating incorporeal entity (GCP-2253-1) identifies as 
Stephen Crane, an American politician who served as a delegate to 
the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1776.1 It is apparently in a 
perpetual state of intoxication. SCP-2253-1 is capable of exerting up 
to 20N of force and excreting various protoplasmic fluids. These 
excretions usually manifest as SCP-2253-1 simulating bodily 
functions. 


The alcoholic beverages containing SCP-2253 protoplasmic fluids 
are non-anomalous, with chemical analysis revealing that it is 
identical to Ethyl Hexanoate2. Consumption of the beverages has 
shown enhanced taste and flavor, although testing has shown mild 
to severe abdominal discomfort when consumed after consuming 
foodstuffs such as tea, fish and chips, and other British cuisine. 


SCP-2253-1 is cooperative, and researchers are encouraged to 
converse with it whenever possible in order to learn more about its 
origins and properties. 


History: SCP-2253's properties were initially noted after being 
purchased by a craft brewing operation. It is unknown if SCP-2253 
had its effects prior to this due to preexisting records being 
destroyed by Hurricane Diane. Initially, SCP-2253-1 attempted to 
frighten the new occupants out of SCP-2253. However SCP-2253-1 
ceased its harassment after learning that they intended to brew 
alcoholic beverages. Following this, the protoplasmic substances 
began manifesting within SCP-2253. 


Due to the name of the brewery, agents of Marshall, Carter, and 
Dark Lid. began investigating shortly after this initial opening, 
believing it to be a Foundation front. MC&D agents made several 
offers to purchase SCP-2253, all of which were refused by the 
owners. The refusal was partially motivated by SCP-2253-1's 
distaste towards a British corporation. MC&D, in turn, believed their 
business to be a front for the SCP Foundation to monitor their New 
England activities. 


MC&D attempted to seize SCP-2253 by force on / /_. After initial 
success in securing the property and detaining all occupants, 
SCP-2253-1 became hostile and began using cooking utensils, 
brewing equipment benches and granite counter-tops as projectile 
weapons against the MC&D Agents. Local police began to respond 
to reports of an ongoing shootout, and brought Foundation office's 
attention the situation. Three MC&D agents were captured, and 
fifteen local police officers were administered Class-B amnestics. 


Asof // SCP-2253 is classified as Safe. 


Addendum: Investigation into SCP-2253-1's relationship with 
Stephen Crane has been ongoing, due to the entity making frequent 
incorrect or impossible statements about Mr. Crane's life. 
SCP-2253-1 has attributed this to intoxication and age creating a 
propensity for exaggeration, but other theories about persons who 
have died on the property or could be considered candidates for 
other reasons. 


* Samson Crane - Resident of Springfield from 1765 to 1781, 
when his head was stomped on by a mule outside a tavern. 
Notably, several primary historical sources from the time 
indicate that he had at least a partial resemblance to Stephen 
Crane, and was possibly a cousin. 

* Samuel Chase - Signer of the Declaration of Independence. 
SCP-2253-1 has claimed to be a judge in the past, frequently 
when the owners of SCP-2253 were discussing legal 
procedures and taxes. SCP-2253-1 has identified itself as 
"Sam" and "Sammy" on multiple occasions. 

¢ Unknown youth - Obituaries from 1915 indicate that a youth 
attending college in the area struck his head on concrete and 
was killed at a costume party taking place in the area. 
Notably, the party was apparently put on by a local historical 
society.

SCP-2254: The Demon La Hire 


Item #: SCP-2254 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2254 is contained within 
the town of Fallon, Alabama. While SCP-2254's incorporeal nature 
has made it difficult to house in any long-term containment vessel, 
SCP-2254's isolation within Fallon has been deemed an acceptable 
amount of exposure in exchange for sustained containment of the 
entity. 


Foundation agents embedded within local law enforcement are to 
identify anomalous pregnancies that result from involvement by 
SCP-22541, and introduce an acceptable level of both mifepristone 
and prostaglandin into the affected subject's drinking water in order 
to induce miscarriage. Due to this protocol, the rate of SCP-2254-1 
manifestation has significantly decreased since SCP-2254's 
discovery. 


The continued implementation of the Black Tuesday Protocol is 
imperative to the ongoing containment of SCP-2254. 


Description: SCP-2254 is a hostile, massive, incorporeal entity 
contained within the town of Fallon, Alabama. SCP-2254 is invisible 
to the naked eye, and can only be viewed using infrared cameras. 
SCP-2254's form is that of a wildly distorted humanoid, roughly 
12.8m in height, with extremely distended arms and six legs2, a 
misshapen neck and face, thick shoulder length hair and severely 
disfigured genitals’. SCP-2254's skin is dark and mottled, and aside 
from six eyes arranged in two vertical columns of three per side 
SCP-2254's face is otherwise featureless, lacking a nose or mouth. 
SCP-2254's single other defining characteristic is the pictogram of 
the letter "J" above a heart that seems to have been branded into its 
forehead. 


SCP-2254 is seemingly capable of influencing human decision- 
making by altering cognition and manipulating young humans 
(typically under the age of 20) into copulation who would not 
otherwise be driven to do so. This manifests as a reported "dream 
state" wherein affected individuals are brought together semi- 
unconsciously to perform sexual intercourse while in a state of 
elevated suggestiveness and arousal+. These unions will generally 
always end in insemination, though SCP-2254's influence can be 
disturbed by the application of lachrymator agents (such as tear gas) 
or ammonia inhalants. Subjects brought out of SCP-2254's influence 
during the act of copulation usually express some confusion and 
hostility towards the source of the disturbance which abates over 
time. Afflicted subjects will also not express any kind of regret about 
the sexual union in question, though whether this is also the nature 
of SCP-2254's influence is currently unknown. 


SCP-2254 generally manifests at the Little Rock Canyon falls near 
Fallon, though not in any regular pattern. It is believed that 
SCP-2254 is more likely to manifest on nights where there are more 
age-appropriate targets freely available to interact with each other 
sexually, though this has not been confirmed. After manifestation, 
SCP-2254 will stalk towards any gathering of targets, potentially 
persuading targets in its path to move towards other targets in an 
attempt to influence more subjects into engaging in sexual 
intercourse. 


Once at least one pairing of targets has come together in one place 
and begun interacting sexually, SCP-2254 will lower its face to be 
level with the pair (or group) and will stare, unblinking, until the act is 
finished. On the rare occasion the insemination does not occur, 
SCP-2254 will linger above the pairing for a period of time, during 
which the couple will interact very little. After a certain amount of 
time, SCP-2254 will lower its face again and the sexual act will begin 
again. There have been no instances of insemination not occurring 
during the second instance. While the odds of conception through 
this manner are no different than usual, there is a significant chance 
(>68%) that the mother will become pregnant with an anomalous 
fetus classified as an SCP-2254-1 instance. 


Subjects who become anomalously pregnant as a result of 


SCP-2254's influence will experience the rapid growth of the 2254-1 
fetal structure, which will quickly take on non-human characteristics. 
These fetuses do not fully match either parent in genetic makeup 
and instead more closely resemble a hypothetical proto-human or 
early human ancestor, with many of the same deformed 
characteristics of SCP-2254. As they develop, SCP-2254-1 
instances will take increasingly more resources away from their 
mothers, starving them to encourage their own expedited growth. 
Despite this, SCP-2254-1 instances negatively affect the cognition of 
their birth mother, who will become passionately defensive of the 
2254-1 instance even as it devours her from the inside out. 


SCP-2254-1 instances generally do not kill their host mother before 
birthing themselves, though they do cause a significant amount of 
damage during their birthing that can lead to the mother's death by 
exsanguination from the vaginal canal. Despite a gestation and 
birthing process that leaves the mother exhausted and extremely 
malnourished, affected mothers are generally unable to recognize 
the anomalous nature of SCP-2254-1 instances and will care for 
them as if they were normal human newborns, including 
breastfeeding them. SCP-2254-1 instances are extremely sexually 
violent, and will attempt to rape, maim, and consume any living 
creature that disturbs them when they are with their mother.
