Mr. Allen was a member of staff who had been found 
dead from sudden organ failure during working hours. 
The Foundation was alerted when the solution in Mr. 
Allen's blood, SCP-3215-1, was sent for chemical 
analysis by the police response team which had 
recovered Mr. Allen's body and could not be properly 
identified. 


The store's manager, Mr. John , informed 
Foundation operatives that Mr. Allen had been tasked 
with moving numerous species of anemone into 
temporary jars so that their tanks could be cleaned. For 
what reason Mr. Allen had made any physical contact 
with SCP-3215 during this process is unknown; Mr. 
informed the Foundation that he had been wearing staff 
uniform for the job, which included protective gloves. 


Furthermore, Mr. provided documentation on 
imported organisms delivered to the store during a 
regular restock three weeks prior to Mr. Allen's death. No 
specimens resembling SCP-3215 in description or 
behavior were logged. 


Request to register Mr. as a potential person of interest is 
pending. 


Addendum 3215b: The following is an identification label recovered 
from SCP-3215's tank at 


ID: 032 

Breed: 

Description: Beautiful cream body with mauve ring- 
tipped limbs. 

Care: Needs feeding once a day, eats pellets and little 
fish. Should be kept in a large tank. Do not touch. 


Footnotes 

1. No oral cavities are visible on this section of the specimen. 

2. This is known to be more likely in subjects with allergies involving 
sea anemones and other stinging organisms. 

3. This will invariably be met with a great deal of resistance. 


become severely "crystallized". After that he was treated with 
SCP-500, and a complete recovery was achieved in 9 days. Subject 
reported that he continued to feel pain in body parts that were 
"crystallized" even after the estimated recovery time. Pain faded 13 
days after subject was treated. It is unknown if the pain effect was 
psychological or real during the intervening 4 days. 


Addendum 409-2: Extensive testing has yielded no information as 
to why the crystallization occurs. SCP-409 and the shards created 
by it are indistinguishable from any other quartz crystal. The effect 
appears to be similar to a seed crystal, where a pre-existing crystal 
formation is added to a solution, causing the crystal to "grow". 
SCP-409, however, appears to do this with all solid matter, and does 
not need to remain in contact. How this is done, why SCP-409 is 
unique among all other quartz crystals, and why granite is the only 
material immune are all still unknown.

SCP-3216: Three Buildings in New York City 


Item #: SCP-3216 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Entrance into SCP-3216 is to 
be dissuaded by posted guards. Any subject emerging from 
SCP-3216 should be engaged with maximum non-lethal force and 
taken to Site-85 for questioning. Every 30 days, three field 
operatives are to enter SCP-3216 and determine if any changes to 
the internal structure have taken place. 


Description: SCP-3216 is the collective designation for three 
identical buildings located in New York City, New York. The 
buildings are designated SCP-3216-1, SCP-3216-2, SCP-3216-3, 
and located in the boroughs of Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan 
respectively. Each instance of SCP-3216 is 12 stories tall and 
constructed of red brick. The windows of each building are boarded 
up. Outside of individuals associated with the Foundation, nobody 
has been observed interacting with the building. 


The only known method of entering an SCP-3216 instance is 
through the emergency exit located at the back of each building. The 
interior of each SCP-3216 instance is shared with one another 
through an unknown spatial anomaly. Measurements have shown 
the internal space to be three times larger than what would be 
allowed by the exterior of each building. Any human entering any 
instance of SCP-3216 will be unable to leave this space until 6 days, 
13 hours, 12 minutes, and 41 seconds have passed. After this time 
limit has passed, they will disappear and reappear outside of the 
entrance they used to enter. 


Floors eleven, six, and one are the only spaces of SCP-3216's 
interior that show signs of habitation. Three rooms on floor eleven 
were locked upon the initial discovery of SCP-3216. They contained 
157 electronic devices whose exact function and construction are 


still not understood. It is currently believed that they were used for 
computing and information storage. 


Half the rooms on floor six contain beddings. In total, there are 
enough accommodations to house 350 individuals. The floor also 
contains spaces for food preparation, bathrooms, and what is 
believed to be clothing storage. All recovered articles of clothing are 
unfit for use by humans, being too large, made for six limbs, and 
crafted of a material that undergoes an exothermic reaction upon 
contact with mammalian skin. 


Floor one contained seven rooms that were unable to be opened 
upon initial discovery. After using controlled demolitions to bypass 
the intended entrances, Foundation reconnaissance teams found 
two categories of rooms. Three rooms contained equipment most 
likely used for surgical procedures. The four remaining each 
contained five cots, three containers of an unknown red liquid, and 
eight human skeletons. 


The purpose of a green door on the first floor has yet to be 
determined. Though located on the outermost wall of the building, 
there is no corresponding door on the exterior of any of the three 
buildings. All attempts to open the door or breach the surrounding 
area have been unsuccessful. Measurements have shown a 
continual emission from the door of 10 millisieverts of radiation per 
second. Every 16 hours and 7 minutes, a flash of light can be seen 
through a crack in the bottom of the door. 


SCP-3217: Dead Weight 


Item #: SCP-3217 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3217 should be closely 
monitored by security cameras at all times for any anomalous 
activity. Civilians should be strongly discouraged from holding 
funeral services in SCP-3217, and use of force is permitted in cases 
of extreme resistance. Civilians who enter SCP-3217 and show 
signs of affectation are to be detained and questioned upon leaving 
the area. 


Description: SCP-3217 is a cemetery in Truro, England, covering 
approximately 0.01 square kilometers of land. SCP-3217 consists of 
mostly flat terrain and contains 97 marked graves, as of the most 
recent count. All 97 headstones are blank, and have no engraving or 
indication of identity. Prior to Foundation intervention, SCP-3217 
was a popular religious landmark in Cornwall, and served as "a 
divine example of God's almighty and everlasting presence". 


SCP-3217 only shows anomalous effects on subjects who have 
come into contact with a vessel containing a corpse, such as a coffin 
or casket, while within its confines. The most common subjects 
affected are coffin-carriers who unwittingly enter SCP-3217 as part 
of funeral processions. 


SCP-3217's effects begin to manifest when a subject's physical 
contact with the vessel is interrupted or ceased. As long as the 
subject is in the cemetery, the weight of carrying the coffin or casket 
will persist, despite no longer being in physical contact with it. This 
has been shown to severely inhibit movement, respiratory function, 
and skeletal integrity. When questioned, victims report an intense 
strain on shoulder muscles and noticeably slower movement, as a 
result of the invisible weight. Victims with a muscular body mass 
index of less than 20 report significant breathing difficulties and 


exhaustion. The fatigue's effect on the body depends on the position 
of the carrier; those who carried from their left suffer muscle strain 
on their right, and vice versa. Effects of SCP-3217 vary depending 
on the subject's physical strength and stamina. 


As soon as the subject exits SCP-3217, the effects immediately 
cease. Interviewed coffin-carriers report that the experience is 
similar to "the hand of God lifting a great burden". However, if the 
subject enters SCP-3217 again, the effects instantly return. Victims 
of SCP-3217 have claimed that the weight was trying to "drag them 
into the very depths of Hell," and that it served as a "test of faith". 
Note that the effects do not present themselves if the coffin or 
casket is empty. The methods by which SCP-3217 produces its 
anomalous effects is unknown. 


At least fourteen deaths have been caused by the fatigue. The 
recorded victims all died due to excessive muscle breakdown and 
eventual cardiac arrest, and all but two had been employed as 
coffin-carriers. However, this data was only collected from the past 
two decades. It is unknown exactly how many casualties have 
resulted from SCP-3217's effect, although locals claim its effects 
have existed since the twelfth century. 


Seven other casualties have been associated with SCP-3217, 
although these were due to the introduction of SCP-895. 


SCP-3217 has been shown to produce significantly more dangerous 
effects when SCP-895 is carried through it. When a person breaks 
physical contact with SCP-895 while within the confines of 
SCP-3217, he or she will experience an escalated variant of the 
anomaly, in which [REDACTED]. As of 04/13/ , tests involving 
SCP-895 and SCP-3217 are prohibited by the Foundation, following 
the events of Test A. 


+ WARNING: LEVEL 3 ACCESS REQUIRED 
Test A - 04/11/ 
Subject: SCP-3217, SCP-895, D-1434, 


D-0900, D-6003, D-1673, D-8880, D-5422 
Procedure: D-Class personnel will escort 


SCP-895 through SCP-3217, carrying it on 
their shoulders. Doctor U. Vigo will scan for 
any new anomalous reactions. 


<Begin Log, 7:10> 


Doctor Urving Vigo: Preparations are in 
place. All D-Class personnel, please follow the 
instructions administered, or we will not 
hesitate to shoot you. Please pick up 
SCP-895; three of you on each side. 


D-0900: Doesn't this thing fuck people up? | 
don't wanna touch this! 


Dr. Vigo: SCP-895 only affects those 
observing camera footage of it, D-0900, which 
is why we will be observing individual stills to 
collect data. May | remind you that you have a 
sniper rifle pointed at your head as we speak, 
and if you refuse to pick up SCP-895 within the 
next two seconds, | will give the kill order. 


D-1434: Just cooperate, man. We get a lunch 
break after this. 


Dr. Vigo: Proceed through SCP-3217 ina 
straight line, and do not stop carrying SCP-895 
until you have reached the containment 
checkpoint at the other side. Once you have 
reached the checkpoint, surrender possession 
of SCP-895 to MTF Eta-10 and await further 
instructions. 


D-6003: Holy shit, this thing is heavy. 


D-1673: What is even inside this thing, 
anyway? A 300-pound vampire? 


D-8880: Jesus Christ, | just got the biggest 
fucking splinter in all of human history. Can we 


move faster, people? 


D-1434: Shut up, asshole. We're almost there. 
*panting* 


Dr. Vigo: Excellent. Once SCP-895 has been 
re-contained, form a single-file line at the 
checkpoint and walk in an orderly fashion back 
to the entrance. 


D-0900: What the hell? God, my back! 
*grunting* 


D-1434: We're not even carrying the damn 
thing anymore, Jesus! It's like dragging a 
fucking car! 


D-0900: God, why is it so muddy all of a 
sudden? 


D-5422: Wait up, my foot is stuck! 


Dr. Vigo: Are we getting this, Eta-10? Make 
sure the shutter speed isn't too fast, we don't 
want another repeat of the incident. 


D-1434: Dammit, we're sinking! Get us out! 
GET US OUT! 


Dr. Vigo: Eta-10, what's the status? 


SNE-1: The ground is dry as a bone, sir; no 
clue what they're on about. They're flailing 
around and kicking up a shit ton of dust. Oh, 
and SCP-895 is safely back in containment, by 
the way. 


D-8880: For the love of God, HELP US! Fuck, 
it's up to our waists! 


SNE-1: Should we send a team in, sir? 


Dr. Vigo: That will be unnecessary, Eta-10. 
D-5422: | can't breathe! 


D-1673: HELP US, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS! 
*muffled screaming* 


Dr. Vigo: What's happening out there, Eta-10? 
SNE-1: Sir, they've... just vanished... 


Dr. Vigo: All life signs appear to have been 
terminated. Eta-10, kindly retrieve the 
cameras. 


SNE-1: On it. “panting* 


Dr. Vigo: It seems SCP-895 produces some 
sort of extreme reaction from SCP-321/7. 
Eta-10, can you distinguish anything 
anomalous from the stills? 


SNE-1: | don't know, sir... if | want to do this. 
*exhaling* 


Dr. Vigo: It's not a matter of whether you want 
to do this. It's your obligation. Now, tell me 
what you see. 


SNE-1: Well, I'm looking at them now... Jesus 
Christ, sir! “coughing* They— there are... 
“coughing” ...in the photo, there are arms 
coming out of the ground, arms everywhere... 
*wheezing* ...pulling down... 


Dr. Vigo: And you didn't see any of that from 
the checkpoint? 


SNE-1: Sir, | can't stay here— *violent 
coughing, radio static* 


Dr. Vigo: Eta-10, do you read? Eta-10? 


Eta-10, do you copy? God dammit. 
<End Log, 7:26> 


Results: All D-Class personnel are deceased. 
Mobile Taskforce Eta-10 "See No Evil" leader 
is deceased. 

Analysis: SCP-895 acts as a catalyst for 
SCP-3217's effects, causing it to exact so 
much force that victims are pulled into the 
ground. No further testing in SCP-3217 will be 
conducted. 


Addendum 3217.1: Autopsy on the corpse of Eta-10 
MTF leader reveals that the victim was [DATA 
EXPUNGED] in a similar fashion to the command team 
that first recovered SCP-895. 


Addendum 3217.2: SCP-3217 was excavated in order 
to recover the bodies of the six D-Class personnel for 
autopsies shortly following the test. Despite drilling 
nearly half a kilometer into the ground, no sign of any of 
the victims was found. The drill site and search have 
since been abandoned. 


Addendum 3217.3: Data show that SCP-895's influence 
extends beyond merely video, but onto still photographs 
as well. More research will have to be conducted in order 
to find a reliable method of observing SCP-895's 
hallucinatory effects. 


The relationship between SCP-895 and SCP-3217 is still 
unknown. 


SCP-3218: Animals in Boxes 


Portion of SCP-3218-078-A, taken after death. 


Item #: SCP-3218 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Known instances of SCP-3218 
are to be purchased or requisitioned by the Foundation through any 
available means and secured in their place of manifestation, as 
instances of SCP-3218 cannot be relocated without termination. In 
cases where requisition or purchase is deemed unfeasible, the 
instance of SCP-3218 is to be terminated following Protocol 3B, and 
amnestics distributed to non-Foundation personnel known to have 
come into contact with SCP-3218. 


Captive instances of SCP-3218-A are to be monitored for any 
change in their behaviour or biology. Instances of SCP-3218-B may 
be repurposed for experimental or storage use with the Lead 
Researcher's approval. 


Description: SCP-3218 is the collective designation for a series of 
anomalous organisms and the containers they manifest in. 
SCP-3218 has been known to the Foundation since 1951, when it 
was first observed in the town of Geraldton, Western Australia. 
SCP-3218 has since been observed manifesting worldwide at 
indeterminate intervals. The most recent instance of SCP-3218 was 
reported on 01/08/20 and is currently contained by Site 332. 


All instances of SCP-3218 observed to date have manifested in an 
urban or otherwise populated environment, often inside private 
residences or within private estates. An instance will manifest as an 
animal and a container, which are hereby respectively referred to as 
SCP-3218-A and SCP-3218-B. 


SCP-3218-A takes the form of a member of the kingdom animalia! 
contained within an appropriately-sized container. Instances of
