SCP-1752-3-D, self-identification George Locksted, who 
seems to treat SCP-1752-2 as some kind of recording device 
and spends ten to fifteen minutes describing the events of his 
day. Apparently lives in London in the late 19th Century. 
Manifestations usually occur between 1900 and 2100 hours. 
SCP-1752-3-G, who regularly sings songs popular in the 
1960s, '70s, and '80s. Manifestations may be up to twenty 
minutes in length, and usually occur between 0630 and 1000 
hours. 

SCP-1752-3-K, who speaks to SCP-1752-2 in a manner which 
indicates he believes it to reply to him, despite no 
communication by Foundation personnel. 

SCP-1752-3-Prime, self-identification Demdike. Believed by 
the Foundation to be the initial owner of SCP-1752-2, it [DATA 
EXPUNGED] capable of causing Delta Events. In order to 
prevent these from occurring, Protocol 1752-Oracle should be 
enacted as soon as SCP-1752-3-Prime is identified. 


+ Addendum 1752- 
A: LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED 


Note: prior to this point, SCP-1752-1 was believed 
completely immobile, and a site had been constructed 
surrounding its location in , Lancashire. Containment 
procedures involved the recording of all vocal 
manifestations, but restrictions were in place forbidding 
reply of any kind. 


SCP-1752-3-Prime: Demons of the dark and 
deep, servants of the devil, it is |, Demdike! 


<There is a pause of about ten seconds.> 
SCP-1752-3-Prime: Sulking again, are you? 
Well, | have a surprise for you! | have been 


back to see Mr. Deer, to complain about what 
he sold me. 


<Another pause of about ten seconds.> 


SCP-1752-3-Prime: He asked that | mention 


him to you by name. He said you would know 
him. | see that is not enough to get you to 
respond to me, so | shall follow the instructions 
he gave me to adjust this so | may talk to 
someone else. If you will not provide me with 
the answers | seek, then perhaps another will. 


<SCP-1752-3-Prime stops speaking, and 
various quiet noises are audible, as of items 
being moved around. SCP-1752-3-Prime can 
be heard muttering, although no particular 
words are audible. This continues for 
approximately one minute and twenty 
seconds.> 


SCP-1752-3-Prime: This is your last chance. 
Will you tell me the medicines | need today? 


<A pause of six seconds.> 


SCP-1752-3-Prime: Fine. You will not hear 
from me again. | will seek knowledge where 
there is a greater quantity of it. 


Shortly following this manifestation, the first recorded 
Delta Event occurred, and SCP-1752-1 stopped 
producing any manifestations. It was considered 
neutralised until reports reached the Foundation 16 days 
later of a similar phenomenon which had spontaneously 
appeared in the [REDACTED] Meeting House in the 
nearby city of during a monthly meeting of the 

Homeopathy Society. Containment was moved to 
this location and proceeded as before, until another 
Delta Event occurred on / /201 and SCP-1752-1 
shifted to the larger city of , interrupting a meeting of 
the National Botanist Convention. 


It was at this point that an exception to Foundation Policy 
713 (Anomalous Object Appeasement) was received 
from O5- and Protocol 1752-Oracle was developed. As 
a contingency, a protocol to lure SCP-1752 back into 


containment if it should breach again was developed, 
codenamed Protocol 1752-Covenant. Since this time, it 
has been necessary to enact Protocol 1752-Covenant 
only once, with the appearance of an annual meeting of 
local Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, which 
caused the shift to current containment location as 
expected.

SCP-1753: Vertigo 


Item #: SCP-1753 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: When not being used for 
testing, SCP-1753 is to be kept ina 1 mx 1.5m x 0.5 m fireproof 
safe in a standard storage unit at Sector-28. Personnel are to avoid 
direct line of sight with SCP-1753 to minimize the risk of accidental 
exposure. 


Description: SCP-1753 is a 75 cm x 100 cm oil painting of the El 
Capitan rock formation in Yosemite National Park. The phrase “time 
to fly” has been scrawled in permanent marker over the vertical rock 
face. Forensic analysis of SCP-1753 revealed that this phrase was 
incorporated by the painter. 


When a human capable of sight observes the painting and 
comprehends the written phrase they will activate SCP-1753’s 
anomalous effects. Subjects initially experience a strong sense of 
vertigo that subsides within approximately thirty seconds. No further 
effects will be experienced for a period of twelve to fourteen hours. 


After this time period the subject begins to perceive any “drop” (e.g. 
a curb, a stair, etc) as being a vertical cliff face of approximately 
2,000 m in height. While this will initially only occur on a small 
percentage of drops encountered the effect progresses until any 
vertical displacement higher than 5 cm results in a sheer cliff face. 
Amnestics have proven ineffective at removing SCP-1753’s 
influence. 


Should an affected individual jump from a perceived cliff they will 
hover in the air for approximately thirty seconds before impacting the 
ground with force comparable to that expected of striking the ground 
at terminal velocity. Subjects equipped with BASE jumping gear are 
able to make the descent unharmed. Of note is that SCP-1753’s 


influence appears to be one-way: an affected subject standing at the 
top of a staircase will see a series of descending cliffs, while an 
affected subject at the bottom will see only a staircase. 


SCP-1753 was recovered in 19 after a woman in ,CA 
reported several minutes of laughter followed by the remains of 
Herbert (presumably the creator of SCP-1753) breaking 
through the ceiling. Foundation agents discovered SCP-1753 in an 
upstairs apartment with what appeared to be a suicide note (see 
Addendum 1753-001) painted on the wall of the bedroom.

SCP-1754: Unskulling Skull 


Item #: SCP-1754 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1754 is to be contained in 
an upright position in an airtight acrylic box measuring 40cm X 30cm 
X 50 cm. Its claws are to be held shut with rubber bands. The floor 
of the box is to be painted with green pigment. The box is to remain 
constantly lit. No direct interaction with SCP-1754 is to take place 
unless properly sealed biohazard suits are worn. 


Vertebrate subjects affected by SCP-1754-1's smoke are to be 
contained in standard containment for their species, with appropriate 
containment modifications to compensate for their physical 
alterations. 


Description: SCP-1754 is an animate, non-sapient assembly 
composed of smoothed, bleached human bone and other calcified 
organic materials. The center of SCP-1754 is a human skull, both 
cranium and mandible, consistent in size and development with that 
of an adult male between the ages of 35 and 50. Dentition does not 
match any available records. SCP-1754 is outfitted with two white 
wheels attached at the temporal styloid processes, the spokes of 
which are calcified sea stars. SCP-1754 has two thin, wiry 
appendages which are 15cm long and end in crab claws fashioned 
from bone. These extend from the mental foramen of the mandible. 
A white clay smoking pipe, designated SCP-1754-1, is gripped 
between SCP-1754's upper and lower teeth. Despite SCP-1754's 
calcium-rich composition, its clawed appendages are flexible and its 
wheels rotate freely. 


SCP-1754 is capable of moving on any solid surface at any angle. It 
uses its claws to roll itself forward on its wheels in the manner of a 
wheelchair. SCP-1754 stops rolling if its wheels encounter a green! 
surface. Aperiodically, it will use its claws either to adjust the 


position of SCP-1754-1 between its teeth or to pinch nearby 
personnel. It effectively resists all attempts to remove SCP-1754-1 
from its mouth. 


Approximately every 1.5 hours, SCP-1754-1 releases a cohesive 
cloud of opaque white smoke. If SCP-1754 is alone, the smoke rises 
to the top of the room, where it then dissipates. If SCP-1754 is in the 
presence of one or more unprotected vertebrate subjects, the smoke 
moves to surround the closest one (designated an instance of 
SCP-1754-2). When the instance of SCP-1754-2 has been fully 
surrounded, the smoke darkens for roughly five seconds before 
lightening again and dissipating. Following this, SCP-1754-2 has 
been radically altered to lack a skull. Alternative structures may take 
the place of the skull, or the organs and tissues of the head may be 
located elsewhere in the body. Gene sequencing of SCP-1754-2 
instances indicates that each instance is no longer a member of its 
original species, belonging instead to an otherwise unrecognized 
group entirely divergent from the vertebrate lineage. The effect is 
self-consistent, affecting members of the same species in the same 
manner. For humans, the eyes remain in the same relative position, 
affixed to independent eye stalks, while the other sensory organs 
and the brain are located in the neck and chest and are of unfamiliar 
configurations. Other tested species include chimpanzee, golden 
lion tamarin, garter snake, trout and ring-necked conure. 


Instances of SCP-1754-2 appear healthy and unencumbered by 
their alterations, to the point where the alterations are normalized 
from their perspective and unaffected subjects appear similarly 
alien. Interviews with human instances of SCP-1754-2 suggest that 
from their perspective, no animal species has ever had a skull, and 
that they completely lack an understanding of the concept of a skull. 
Instances of SCP-1754-2 universally express revulsion at the sight 
of SCP-1754, more so than for non-anomalous skulls. SCP-1754 is 
not affected by its own smoke. 


SCP-1754 is sentient and capable of speech, the sound of which 
originates from the geometric center of its cranium. The personality 
expressed through SCP-1754 is an enthusiastic, middle-aged male 
living at some point in the middle 1960s. SCP-1754 refers to any 
personnel who interact with it as its "next-door neighbor." 


Regardless of the nature, quantity, or behavior of listeners, 
SCP-1754 ceaselessly discusses antiquated topics. These include 
classic automobiles, female celebrities of the 1960s, and its son's 
involvement in the Vietnam War. When it is introduced to an adult 
male subject who has a wife and children, SCP-1754 may present 
the subject with an offer to join it and its family for an evening meal 
"sometime soon." It is unknown how SCP-1754 is able to discern 
whether a person has a family. 


Thus far, SCP-1754 has made no reference to its anomalous 
appearance or qualities, nor those of SCP-1754-1. SCP-1754 does 
not seem to remember previously introduced subjects, and has not 
demonstrated the capacity to learn or connect cause and effect. 
However, when reintroduced to any instance of SCP-1754-2, it 
refers to it instead as its "neighbor from down the street" and speaks 
with a more disappointed tone. SCP-1754 has never referred to 
itself by any name, and extensive interviews have concluded that it 
is not possible to conduct meaningful discussion with SCP-1754. In 
effect, its dialogue is much like that produced by an artificial 
intelligence. 


SCP-1754 Interview Log: 
Interviewed: SCP-1754 
Interviewer: Dr. Quentin 


Foreword: SCP-1754 was enclosed in its case. Dr. 
Quentin stood beside it. 


<Begin Log> 
SCP-1754: Hey there neighbor! 
Dr. Quentin: Hello, SCP-1754. 


SCP-1754: Gosh, have you seen that new Chevy? What 
a piece of craftsmanship! 


Dr. Quentin: And which model Chevrolet would that be, 
SCP-1754? 


SCP-1754: Thanks for letting me borrow your mower, 
you're a real pal. I'll get it back to you soon. (SCP-1754 
adjusts its pipe.) 


Dr. Quentin: SCP-1754, can you hear me? 


(SCP-1754 attempts to pinch Dr. Quentin, who had 
begun standing closer. Dr. Quentin jumps back in 
surprise.) 


SCP-1754: Say, you look like a real family man. How's 
about you bring your kids over for dinner? My Barb 
makes a neat beef stroganoff! 


Dr. Quentin: (glancing at observation window) ...\'m 
going to have to decline, SCP-1754. 


SCP-1754: Then we're in like Flynn! Watch out, here | 
come sport! (clacks claw) 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: SCP-1754 seems to be holding a 
one-sided conversation, although such a determination is 
ambiguous.

SCP-1755: Cotton Blight 


Item #: SCP-1755 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: A sample of SCP-1755 is to be 
contained at Site 40 following standard Class 1 biohazard 
procedures. All personnel stationed at Site 40 are forbidden from 
wearing clothing containing cotton. Uncontained specimens of 
SCP-1755 are to be incinerated, and the area monitored for further 
outbreaks. 


In light of the almost total breach of SCP-1755, further containment 
efforts will focus on concealing the anomalous origin of SCP-1755. 
SCP-1755 will be presented as a result of experimental genetic 
engineering. The Foundation will cooperate with and assist 
governments and major agricultural biotechnology companies, 
through proxies as need be, in bringing SCP-1755 under control. 


All specimens outside of controlled research facilities observing at 
least Class 2 biohazard procedures are to be destroyed or 
contained. In the event that SCP-1755 is eradicated in the wild, it will 
be reclassified SCP-1755-EX. 


Description: SCP-1755 is a species of worm not closely related to 
any extant species. Visually, specimens of SCP-1755 resemble thin 
fibers, and their cuticles may be in any of a wide range of colors. 
SCP-1755 are hermaphroditic, with a lifespan of about five weeks. 
SCP-1755 only eat cotton fibers. 


If exposed to a garment made of primarily of cotton, SCP-1755 will 
consume one thread and reproduce parthenogenically, producing a 
new instance of SCP-1755 with cuticle color matching that of the 
consumed thread. This process is extremely efficient, and one 
SCP-1755 specimen is capable of converting an entire shirt in about 
two weeks. When consuming a garment, SCP-1755 will link to each 


other, making their presence difficult to detect by visual or tactile 
examination. 


While converting a garment, SCP-1755 may spread by contact to 
other cotton fabrics. On full conversion, however, all instances of 
SCP-1755 enter a dormant state for about three months, during 
which there is no risk of contagion. At the conclusion of this period, 
they expire due to lack of food. It is at this point that SCP-1755 
becomes most visible, as affected garments often begin to rot. 
Research indicates that a tone in the range of 485 kHz to 520 kHz 
causes dormant SCP-1755 to release their linkages, resulting ina 
fully converted garment disintegrating. 


SCP-1755 was discovered following an outbreak at the University of 
Sheffield in which a large proportion of the clothing of students and 
faculty began to rot. A cover story attributing the incident to a 
chemical weapon research malfunction was ruled sufficient, and 
widespread amnestic distribution deemed unnecessary and 
counterproductive to secrecy. 


Addendum 1755-30: Recent reports in agricultural journals 
regarding a parasitic worm of unknown phylogeny afflicting cotton 
crops suggest a possible connection to or outbreak of SCP-1755. 
Further investigation warranted.
