SCP-059-1 is affected by most fungicides, but new growth will 
continue as long as SCP-059 is present. Early stage SCP-059-1 


infection in humans may be treated with griseofulvin, however the 
treatment is 90% likely to lead to death by radiation poisoning. 
Treated individuals lose their immunity to radiation, and will already 
have absorbed a now lethal dose prior to treatment. Late stage 
treatment should not be attempted, as too much tissue will already 
be converted to SCP-059-1. [DATA EXPUNGED]. The remains of 
failed treatments should be kept out of range of SCP-059, otherwise 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-059 specimens have been discovered in 8 different 
underground locations, across a range of 5000 km. No pattern has 
emerged for their appearance. Specimens range from 1-10 kg in 
size, and are not part of the normal rock formations in the areas 
where they have been found. 


Addendum: Dr. has recorded and analyzed the patterns of 
radiation emitted by the contained SCP-059-1 colony, and believes 
SCP-059-1 may be sapient and attempting to communicate via 
controlled emissions of radiation. Initial attempts to analyze this 
"language" reveal [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-060: Infernal Occult Skeleton 


Item #: SCP-060 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The grove which contains 
SCP-060 is currently contained in a series of specially-constructed 
greenhouses at Satellite-Site 66-060. Specimens are to be pruned 
regularly to keep at a manageable size. 


Personnel are banned from smoking while within 5km of Satellite- 
Site 66-060. Personnel are to refrain from bringing lighters, matches, 
tasers, or any other tool readily capable of starting a fire into 
Satellite-Site 66-060. 


SCP-060 specimens are to be watered twice daily and checked 
weekly for dead plant matter and saplings. Dead matter and 
saplings are to be pruned, shredded and composted properly in the 
dedicated facility onsite, afterwards returned to SCP-060's 
containment chamber. Fragments of SCP-060 may not be moved 
offsite for any reason without explicit written permission from two or 
more Level 4 personnel. 


In the event of a breach by SCP-060-Alpha, personnel are to enter 
lockdown mode and activate onsite fire suppression systems. 
Redundant onsite fire suppression systems have been installed 
throughout the Site, including water and chemical retardants to be 
utilized in tandem in the event of a containment breach. Portable 
extinguishers are to be kept available at all times. 


Containment-Chamber 060-Alpha-001 is a dedicated, circular 
containment chamber designed to contain SCP-060-Alpha during 
testing. This chamber is constructed of concrete with a .2 metre 
thick asbestos coating, with a series of chimneys to allow for 
ventilation of heat during containment. The walls are fitted with 24 
CO2 projectors evenly spaced at 45° angles along the walls and will 


activate in the presence of temperatures exceeding 200C°. One 
kilogram of SCP-060 material is to be kept within Containment- 
Chamber 060-Alpha-001 to be burned in the event of a breach. 


Description: SCP-060 is a grove of seventeen white oak trees 
(Quercus alba). The grove is spread across approximately 8 acres in 
rural northeastern Minnesota. A house on the property was 
demolished during the construction of Satellite-Site 66-060 after 
being combed by Foundation personnel for information regarding 
SCP-060. See addendum. 


When burned, SCP-060 will produce an entity henceforth 
designated SCP-060-Alpha. SCP-060-Alpha appears to be an 
animate adult human skeleton standing approximately 2.3 metres 
tall and surrounded by bright white flames. SCP-060-Alpha initially 
burns at a temperature of approximately 1500°C (~2730°F) and will 
attempt to cause as much damage as possible when active. Burning 
as little as 20g of SCP-060 will cause SCP-060-Alpha to appear. 
Only one instance of SCP-060-Alpha will appear at any time; it is 
theorized that 060-Alpha is a unique entity. 


SCP-060-Alpha is extremely dangerous, having proven to be hostile 
and relatively intelligent. It appears to be a single recurring entity, 
showing a growing familiarity with Satellite-Site 66-060's layout over 
the course of several manifestations. When given the opportunity, it 
will throw itself bodily at flammable materials in an effort to cause 
damage, and assault personnel with a focus on grappling and 
strangulation. Additionally, it has proven capable of running at 
speeds of up to 80 km/h (50 mph) in short bursts and leaping 
approximately 5 metres from a running start. Due to the extreme 
temperatures produced by 060-Alpha during the initial stages of 
manifestation, along with its physical capabilities, it is capable of 
causing large, uncontrolled fires and widespread property damage if 
left unchecked. SCP-060-Alpha appears to intentionally avoid 
burning instances of SCP-060 when it becomes active. 


If SCP-060-Alpha is introduced to a high enough volume of water or 
other flame-retardant material over a short amount of time, it will 
begin to weaken to the point that it will collapse into dust. Collapse 
will occur suddenly with little warning; SCP-060-Alpha will continue 
to pose a threat up until its collapse. The volume of suppressive 


material required to subdue SCP-060-Alpha is markedly less than 
would be expected to quench a heat source of its intensity, with 
volumes of approximately 500 litres proving sufficient. 


Areas burned by SCP-060-Alpha will begin to yield sapling instances 
of SCP-060 over the following four to six weeks. Only one wave of 
sapling growth will follow any given containment breach. Said 
saplings are easily pulled and should be composted and supplied to 
SCP-060’s normal containment chambers. 


Additional Information Regarding 060: The property containing 
SCP-060 contained a burned out, secluded house upon Foundation 
acquisition. According to civilian sources, the house's previous 
owner was a Johnathan Corhill, who is reported to have been a 
somewhat solitary eccentric, with a tendency towards bitterness and 
nihilism. Mr Corhill was reported as a missing person in late 1996, 
several months after having suddenly cut off all ties to family 
members and friends. 


The last person to have had contact with Johnathan Corhill was his 
brother Christopher via a telephone call. According to his brother, 
Corhill had developed an interest in the study of Victorian-era 
occultism. Furthermore, he reported that Johnathan Cornhill had 
seemed normal up until the phone call, at which point he told 
Christopher never to contact him again. Later in the year, a mail 
carrier visited the home to deliver a notice of foreclosure, finding it 
instead as a burned out shell. Examination showed that the fire 
began in the living room in the general vicinity of the fireplace; it is 
now assumed that SCP-060-Alpha manifested within the house 
while Corhill burned SCP-060 in the fireplace. Considering 
SCP-060-Alpha’s nature, why the house was not entirely destroyed 
during this alleged manifestation is as of yet unknown. No human 
remains were found within the structure. 


Johnathan Corhill’s whereabouts, and whether he is dead or alive, 
are currently unknown.

SCP-061: Auditory Mind Control 


Item #: SCP-061 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The source code for SCP-061 
is to be kept on a standard archival-quality read-only data compact 
disc (CD-ROM); four copies of the CD-ROM with the source code 
are to be stored in separate maximum-security inanimate-object 
lockers. Except for purposes of approved experimentation, SCP-061 
is not to be loaded, compiled, or run. Research proposals for 
SCP-061 require written approval from site command. Only one 
copy of the CD-ROM containing the source code for SCP-061 may 
be used at a time; the CD-ROM is to be returned to storage 
immediately after having been used to load the source code for 
SCP-061 to a device. 


SCP-061 must never be loaded, compiled, or run on any device 
which has a connection to the Internet, either directly or via another 
device. SCP-061 must never be loaded, compiled, or run on any 
device which is physically capable of wireless connectivity, 
regardless of whether that connectivity is in use. 


For purposes of approved experimentation, SCP-061 may be 
loaded, compiled, and run on a LAN consisting of no more than 3 
(three) devices plus peripherals. No devices are to be disconnected 
from the LAN during experimentation. Following the conclusion of 
experimentation, all devices within this LAN are to be immediately 
reformatted. Audio-output peripherals for this LAN are to be 
contained within an observation chamber surrounded with noise- 
canceling vacuum insulation. In the event of a perimeter breach by 
hostiles during SCP-061 experimentation, all devices within the LAN 
are to be immediately destroyed. 


Description: SCP-061 is an acoustic computer program being 
developed by SCP researchers with the intent of producing 


successful countermeasures to similar programs being developed 
by governments and individuals around the world. Inspired by 
research on [DATA EXPUNGED], SCP Command saw both the 
potential and harm in the ability to control the brain functions of other 
human beings. Laymen understand that music can elicit certain 
emotions and memories or various sounds can elicit fear and 
excitement by simply being heard. Governments around the world 
have been attempting to expand on that premise for decades; SCP 
Research is the first to elicit responses on higher mental activities. 


Parts of the brain affected by SCP-061 differ from those stimulated 
by [DATA EXPUNGED] or by subliminal messaging. Instead of 
acting on parts of the brain that are thought to be in control of the 
subconscious, acoustic frequencies produced by SCP-061 intercept 
conscious thoughts as they are produced and replace them. Instead 
of a suggestion, the human hearing center bisects the conscious 
thinking mind of the frontal lobe with the motor control cortical 
homunculus of the brain. 


A baseline rhythm "convinces" the rest of the brain that the 
conscious mind is "asleep" and effectively stops conscious thought 
from continuing to the rest of the brain. In return, the frontal lobe 
experiences a "pause" that resembles the psychological effects of 
anesthesia. Acoustic codes developed by SCP-061 are interpreted 
by motor centers in the brain as conscious instructions and the 
subject typically acts accordingly. (See Addendum-01) 


Subjects will normally have a "blank" facial expression while under 
the influence of SCP-061. They are not responsive to attempts at 
conversation and express no desires, such as hunger or interest in 
sexual advances. Though all commands are followed without 
question, the effects of the auditory control cease once the subject is 
no longer able to hear the program. Most test subjects report being 
unable to remember the actions they performed while under control, 
but a few have experienced the effect of "watching helplessly" as 
their body acted against their will. 


The intent of such research is to discover ways to counteract the 
effects of auditory mind control; however, only two methods of 
countermeasures have proven successful as of yet. One, the 
subject's hearing is impaired so that the individual can no longer 


hear the program, either by covering the ear or deafening the 
subject. Two, the program itself sends a coded instruction to the 
hearing center of the brain, permanently shutting it down. Though 
the ear continues to hear, there has been no progress in finding the 
proper code to "reboot" the hearing center of the brain. 


Addendum-01: All subjects are placed under auditory control, 
issued a coded auditory command and then monitored. 


¢ Subject— 4402F 


© Command: [Sleep] 

© Response: Subject curled up into a fetal position on the 
floor and her brain began emitting alpha waves 
associated with sleep. Her eyes remained wide open in 
the typical "blank/empty" expression associated with 
controlled subjects, but her eyes twitched rapidly in 
ways associated with REM sleep. 


¢ Subject— 4427M 


© Command: [Run on treadmill] 

© Response: Subject mounted treadmill and then 
proceeded to run. Subject did not turn on the treadmill 
resulting in the subject impacting the control platform. 
Subject repeated this until the [Stop] command was 
issued. Note: more detailed commands are advised for 
task oriented commands. 


¢ Subject— 4427M 


© Command: [Turn treadmill on; Run on treadmill] 

© Response: Subjected turned on treadmill to the 
maximum speed, mounted and attempted to run before 
being ejected off the conveyor belt. Subject repeatedly 
attempted to turn on the treadmill to a random speed 
and run on it with various outcomes. Note: more 
detailed commands are advised for task oriented 
commands. 


¢ Subject— 4427M 


© Command: [Turn on treadmill to jogging speed; Jog on 
treadmill] 

© Response: Subject successfully jogged on treadmill until 
[Stop] command was issued, which resulted in subject 
being ejected off the conveyor belt. Note: Subjects 
should be in a safe neutral position before [Stop] 
commands are issued.

SCP-062: "Quantum" Computer 


Item #: SCP-062 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-062 is stored ina 
dedicated containment cell at Site under clean room conditions. 
Any experimentation on SCP-062 must receive prior permission 
from at least two (2) Level 3 Personnel, and must only be performed 
with independent power sources. SCP-062 must never be attached 
to an external network, and all data extracted from SCP-062 is to be 
stored on external nonvolatile media until analyzed. 


Description: SCP-062 appears to be an unbranded personal 
desktop computer housed in an aluminum case of indeterminate 
manufacture. SCP-062 is unusually heavy at approximately 24kg, 
and lacks manufacturing or branding labels of any kind. The words 
"infomation is freedom [sic]" were found scratched into the casing 
near the back, apparently with a key or similar object. 


Inspection of its interior has revealed that SCP-062 is empty except 
for a blank circuit board in place of where the motherboard of a 
standard personal computer would be. SCP-062 will not function 
unless the case is completely sealed, and attempts to open the case 
while it is operating cause it to shut down immediately. Despite this, 
SCP-062 operates as expected for a normal desktop computer with 
the exception that its performance, operating system, contained 
data, and language appears to be different upon every activation. 


SCP-062 was discovered in the basement of the University of 
Computer Science Laboratory by [REDACTED]. An embedded 
Foundation agent seized the object and brought it to Site, where it 
has since been contained. 


Addendum 062-001: List of Notable Activation Results 


Date: / / 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running Windows XP in 
Catalan. Analysis of contained data showed financial records for the 
[REDACTED] banking firm in France for the period of May, 1963 to 
April, 1987. These records are inconsistent with actual bank records 
procured by undercover Foundation agents. 


Date: // 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running Debian Linux in 
Latin. Contained data consisted of a library of audio recordings of 
over , choral songs and hymns, of which are not found in any 
known collection, or have never been performed. 


Date: / / 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running a version of Solaris 
in Portuguese. Contained data consisted of promotional and 
marketing material for [REDACTED], which appears to be a 
commercial space flight corporation that does not exist.
