Subject: D-145-4751 issued one (1) GPS Locator Device, one (1) 6” 
standard issue military combat knife. Second attempt to ascertain 
the location described at the other end of the line, self-defense 
option provided to subject. 

Result: GPS rendered non-functional after disappearance of D- 
Class personnel. On following interaction with SCP-145 female 
voice indicates continued stress and states, “Oh god, he’s cutting 
him, he’s cutting off [DATA EXPUNGED]” Audio technician then 
identifies voice of D-145-4751 has joined other victims. 


Test 145-C 

Date: \ \ 

Subject: D-145-5319 issued one (1) 9mm semi-automatic pistol, 
one (1) Kevlar vest, subject compelled to pick up phone. Attempt to 
determine interactivity of location, determine if any self-defense 
method is possible. 

Result: On following interaction with SCP-145 gunshots are heard, 
then [DATA EXPUNGED]. Female voice resumes, states [DATA 
EXPUNGED] and additional gunshots are heard, audio technician 
identifies D-145-5319 exclamations of pain after each gunshot. 


Test 145-D 

Date: \ \ 

Subject: D-145-6842 issued one kg C4 explosive concealed in 
supply kit, explosive attached to remote trigger with 30-second 
delay, triggered before interaction with SCP-145. Attempt to 
determine any possible level of interaction or destruction of location. 
Result: [DATA EXPUNGED] resulted in Foundation personnel 
missing including Dr. and all researchers associated with [DATA 
EXPUNGED] breaches of SCP security at Site . Further testing of 
this nature suspended at this time. 


| don’t know who thought this might be a good idea. | know 
sometimes we let sympathy get the better of us, but this attempt to 
bring ‘relief’ to SCP-145’s victims just cost the Foundation a lot of 
money and resources.

SCP-146: Bronze Head of Shame 


Item #: SCP-146 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment procedures have 
been revised after it was noted that the effects of SCP-146 were 
sharply and dangerously increased under previous containment (a 
standard one-half (0.5) meter cubed secure-storage bin). The bin 
should remain free, however, should a researcher wish to test 
SCP-146 at high intensity. Level 3 clearance is required for any 
personnel wishing to enclose or cover SCP-146 for a period 
exceeding two days. 


During normal storage, SCP-146 is to be kept on a marble pedestal 
in its storage room, located [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-146's 
standard storage room measures no less than twenty (20) square 
meters, with stuccoed walls and a ceiling painted to resemble a 
clear daytime sky. The room is to be kept well-lit (full daylight 
equivalent) at all times, furnished with an assortment of potted 
plants (which must be tended to daily), and decorated in the style of 
the Late Republican period of Rome (c. 120-80 BCE). 
Experimentation with different interior styles has shown that 
SCP-146 seems to prefer this arrangement and to have aesthetic 
preferences consistent with the aristocracy of Rome from that era. 
While this containment is standard, researchers with clearance 
Level 2 or higher may experiment with different containment settings 
in order to modify the effects of SCP-146. 


While SCP-146 is non-motile and therefore requires little security 
itself, personnel entering its containment area or handling it in any 
way must not make eye contact with SCP-146. Any attempts to 
cover SCP-146 in order to prevent eye-contact is prohibited, as this 
has been shown to increase SCP-146's effect at an unpredictable 
rate. In general, one (1) day of covering or confinement will cause 
SCP-146 to skip over the beginning phase of its effect and begin 


with the most traumatic memories. After three (3) days, SCP-146 
has been shown to produce its effect without having to make direct 
eye-contact first. After seven (7) days, the effect of SCP-146 is both 
far more intense and no longer confined to subjects within 
SCP-146's field of vision. Researchers in an adjacent room were 
affected and one was permanently [DATA REDACTED]. Permission 
to experiment beyond seven (7) days is denied by order of O5- . 
Blinders and decorative screens are available for personnel who 
must enter SCP-146's containment area for maintenance. 


Description: SCP-146 is a hollow bronze head, apparently a 
fragment of a complete statue or bust, depicting a crowned young 
woman or perhaps an effeminate young man. The head exhibits 
severe verdigris over much of its surface. The crown of SCP-146 is 
inlaid with silver decorations, and its eyes (the apparent source of 
SCP-146's effects) are beaten silver, shined to be mildly reflective. 
To date, SCP-146 has not exhibited any signs of movement, but its 
reaction to certain decor in its containment area indicates that it may 
possess a degree of sentience, if not outright sapience. If SCP-146 
is able to communicate, it has not yet done so. 


SCP-146 exhibits the ability to access and bring to mind certain 
memories in those who initiate eye contact. These memories are 
usually tied to a sense of guilt or shame in the subject. After initial 
eye contact is made, the subject need only remain somewhere in 
SCP-146's field of vision for the memories and associated feelings 
to become more intense, although continual eye contact speeds the 
process. 


Upon initial eye contact with SCP-146, recent memories will begin to 
surface in the subject. For example, subjects who have ignored a 
friend in the hall or exceeded the speed limit will be reminded of 
these events and begin to feel mildly guilty, whether or not they 
would normally care about the event. With continued exposure to 
the gaze of SCP-146, the subject will begin to recall older and more 
vivid memories, with a corresponding increase in feelings of shame 
in the subject. Generally, after thirty (80) minutes of exposure, the 
memories will move from being vivid recollections to intense 
hallucinations, with the subject unable to distinguish the past from 
the present, or the imagined from the real. Subjects have been 


observed to regress in personality as well, particularly in cases 
where memories of childhood trauma have been brought up. Any 
test subjects exposed for over thirty (30) minutes should be 
restrained both for their own safety and the safety of others. All 
subjects to date who have been exposed to SCP-146 for sixty (60) 
minutes have completely retreated into their hallucinations; so far no 
such subject has been restored to consciousness from this near- 
catatonic state. Such subjects must be fed intravenously and are 
unresponsive to external stimuli, save for occasional murmurings 
consistent with their regression. 


It has also been noted that when subjects recall a shameful event, 
they will often feel compelled to make amends for their actions. This 
is not generally a problem in the case of minor offenses and has in 
some cases led to greater unity among the staff. However, problems 
arise when the subject cannot make amends, either because the 
offended party cannot be contacted or because the transgression is 
somehow irredeemable. Sometimes, the subject will put forth 
renewed positive efforts in order to "balance out" their guilt. 
However, in most such cases, subjects fall into a deep depression 
and/or turn to some form of self-punishment, including self-mutilation 
and suicide. Please see the attached experiment logs for detailed 
cases. 


SCP-146 was acquired from a Mr. of Birmingham, UK. Mr. 
had acquired SCP-146 during the estate sale of a renowned 
philanthropist, the late , Lord of . twas 
purchased in a lot with a number of other artifacts for £ . When 
Mr. began to experience SCP-146's effects, he began seeing a 
psychiatrist, Undercover Agent UA33-56G. Mr. was put into an 
institution and SCP-146 was taken into Foundation custody. 
UA33-56G's notes on Mr. ‘s mental state are available for study 
by researchers of Level 2 or higher, filed as Document SCP-146-A. 


Experiment Log #146-01 


In order to calibrate a baseline for SCP-146's effects, a standard 
four (4) by four (4) meter interrogation room was divided in half by 
an opaque curtain. SCP-146 was placed on a table inside a 
protective plexiglass case in one half of the room. On the other side 


of the curtain, Subject D-044323 was restrained such that he was 
looking directly at SCP-146's position. Researchers maintained 
constant communication with the subject via intercom throughout the 
testing process. 


The curtain was dropped, causing the subject to look squarely into 
the eyes of SCP-146. The subject voiced immediate discomfort and 
closed his eyes, with an increase in heartrate of 15 BPM. With 
prompting, the subject related the memories he was recalling, 
beginning with minor breaches of behavior protocol. The subject 
then recalled several altercations with other prisoners before his 
being taken by the Foundation, including a particularly graphic 
description of [DATA REDACTED]. Researchers noted that as time 
went on, the subject became more cooperative and his speech 
patterns changed, resembling someone undergoing therapeutic 
hypnosis. 


After fifteen (15) minutes, the subject's speech had become slurred 
and his EEG patterns showed similarities to someone experiencing 
vivid dreams. The subject entered into one half of a dialogue which 
culminated in his trying to break his restraints. After several minutes, 
the subject ceased thrashing and began to cry. The subject started 
begging, apparently to someone in his hallucination: "Stop. Take it 
back. Don't. | won't do it again. I'm sorry. | don't want to. Not again. 
Stop... Please..." This behavior continued until, after fifty-four (54) 
minutes of exposure to SCP-146, the subject's vocalizations halted 
and his EEG showed signs consistent with coma. After an additional 
hour, no further effects were observed, and the subject was 
removed and euthanized. Post-mortem examination of his brain 
noted abnormal levels of and - , which neuropathologist 
Dr. described as indicative of [DATA REDACTED]. 


(NOTE: At this point, SCP-146 was being kept along with the other 
artifacts purchased at auction, because it was not yet known that the 
effect was confined to SCP-146 alone. | theorize that this 
containment approximated "favorable" containment and therefore 
kept SCP-146's effect at its base strength. -Professor Skali ) 


Experiment Log #146-04 
The first experiment conducted after it was determined that 
SCP-146 consisted only of the bronze head took place after 


SCP-146 had been moved to a standard one-half (0.5) meter cubed 
storage bin where it had remained for two (2) days. Subject 
D-044784 and SCP-146 were placed on opposite sides of a curtain 
in a standard interrogation room, as in previous experiments. The 
subject was restrained as in previous experiments. When the curtain 
was dropped, the subject reported an immediate headache and 
began to cry. The subject's heartrate jumped to 180 BPM but then 
dropped rapidly to 40 BPM, and the subject lost consciousness. 
Medical personnel entered the room and began examining the 
subject, at which time the subject regained consciousness, her 
heartrate spiking to 175 BPM. The subject struggled violently 
against her restraints, and was soon able to break the restraint on 
her right arm, severely damaging her own arm and hand in the 
process. Paramedic D. was injured as the subject struck him 
in order to gain access to his first-aid kit. The subject was able to 
grab a small scalpel and jam it into her own neck before guards 
could regain control. Medical staff administered first aid, but the 
subject died during emergency surgery due to blood loss. 


(NOTE: After several similar incidents it was determined that 
SCP-146's ability was affected by its containment. Anyone wishing 
to do further research must take this into account as even brief 
accidental exposure could prove harmful. -Professor Skali )

SCP-147: Anachronistic Television 


A photograph of SCP-147 in its optimal state. A black-and-white 


camera had to be used to take this photo, as the presence of a 
modern camera triggers the hostile state. 


Item #: SCP-147 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-147 is to be kept ina 
simulacrum of a 1950s-era living room. Its current container contains 
a throw rug, two armchairs, a phonograph, a rotary telephone, and 
other suitable decorations. SCP-147 will reject any items dating from 
later than late March, 1965 (See Addendum 0-40). It requires no 
external power source or connection. 


Description: Discovered 1983 in a civilian home in Detroit, 
Michigan. SCP-147 appears to be a 1957 General Electric brand 
black-and-white television, model 17TO26. SCP-147 has been 
observed to exhibit two different behaviors: 


Optimal: When SCP-147 is in an acceptable room, it will display 
broadcasts of 1950s-era comedies, such as The Burns and Allen 
Show, Father Knows Best, and | Love Lucy. In every case, each 
broadcast has been completely unique: archives of the programs, 
none of which are still being produced, have failed to find any record 
of the episodes that SCP-147 plays. No commercials are shown, 
and there is no indication as to which station would be broadcasting 
these shows. All broadcasts are in black and white. Subjects 
exposed to SCP-147 in its optimal state reported a pleasant feeling 
of relaxation. In this state, the item's volume and channels can be 
adjusted, though the off switch appears to have no effect. 


Hostile: When modern-day items are present in SCP-147's 
environment, the item will only display extremely violent and 
gruesome color footage; beheadings, rapes, executions, and torture 
have all been observed, but as of yet no footage has been 


broadcast that indicates when or where the scenes depicted took 
place. The footage is invariably of high visual and audio quality. 
Subjects exposed to SCP-147 in its hostile state almost invariably 
vomit due to the graphic nature of the broadcasts after ten to fifteen 
seconds; one subject suffered a nervous breakdown after two 
minutes of exposure. Every subject has displayed an extreme 
reluctance to recall the contents of the broadcasts, and two out of 
the fifteen subjects tasked with viewing SCP-147's hostile 
broadcasts have since committed suicide. None of the item's 
controls respond during hostile broadcasts. 


Attempts to examine the internals of SCP-147 have been 
unsuccessful, as the item's shell resists any and all attempts to 
crack it open. Placing the item in a Faraday cage in order to negate 
any possible transmissions it could be receiving had no effect. The 
effects of long-term exposure to SCP-147 have not been 
documented. 


Addendum: Any and all recreational activities involving SCP-147 
are to be scheduled at least one week beforehand with approval by 
Level 4 personnel. 


Addendum [0-40]: See File TC-147-B for further details. After 
[DATA EXPUNGED] suggestion, several objects manufactured 
throughout the 1960s era were brought in. Objects made past March 
of the year 1965 have resulted in a hostile behavior. Exact dating is 
difficult due to troubles of obtaining materials precisely made on 
testable dates and times. Reasons as to why it acts in such a way 
depending on a specific object's date are unknown, and being tested 
by [DATA EXPUNGED].
