Item #: SCP-2487 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2487 is surrounded by a 
five-kilometer perimeter quarantine zone. The exterior of this zone is 
designated Site-930, and is made to resemble the outer perimeter of 
a United States Military Base publicly known as Fort Grenwall. Fifty 
armed members of Special Task Force Omega-15 ("Dire Deeds") 
are stationed at this site, specially trained and equipped to eliminate 
instances of SCP-2487-02. 


The interior of this zone is to be armed with anti-personnel land 
mines for the first three kilometers extending outward from the 
center, followed by a zone of pitfall traps that are at least ten (10) 
meters deep and thirty (80) meters wide. Should an instance of 
SCP-2487-02 breach this perimeter, STF Omega-15 is to mobilize 
and attempt containment. If containment is impossible, all instances 
are to be destroyed with extreme prejudice. 


Should the outermost perimeter of Site-930 be breached, members 
of STF Omega-15 are to enact the "Big Game" protocol, as detailed 
in Addendum 2487-05. 


Pertaining to the containment of SCP-2487-02 instances, surviving 
instances are to be kept in Class-7 non-human anomaly holding 
cells at Site-930-B. Any attempts at escape should be met with 
extreme force. 


Description: SCP-2487-01 is a circular pocket of unstable space- 
time located within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 
Tennessee, United States. While not viewable in the visible 
spectrum, it can be detected with tools used to measure and view 
infrared and ultraviolet waves, as well as electromagnetic 
fluctuations. SCP-2487 measures approximately fifty (50) meters in 


diameter, and is located approximately ten (10) meters off the 
ground. In addition, this aperture constantly emits an infrasonic 
frequency of approximately 19Hz, causing an instinctive fear 
response in most animals. SCP-2487-01 is impassible; attempting to 
enter it with drones results in catastrophic technological failure, and 
organic matter passes through without entering the anomaly. 


At unpredictable intervals- which have ranged from two days to five 
years- an instance of SCP-2487-02 will emerge from SCP-2487-01. 
SCP-2487-02 refers to anomalous instances of the extinct species 
Canis dirus, or the Dire Wolf. As of 12/31/2016, there have been 55 
instances of SCP-2487-02 captured and contained (labeled 
SCP-2487-02-1 through 02-55). SCP-2487-02 instances have been 
genetically modified, with stronger skeletal and muscular structures, 
decreased sensitivity to pain, enhanced strength, and enhanced 
regenerative capabilities, presumably to maximize the chance of 
their escape and reaching their destination. 


Instances of SCP-2487-02 are not hostile, but will attack when 
provoked. While not impossible, disabling an instance of 
SCP-2487-02 has, in the past, required the usage of anti-tank 
weaponry, landmines, the services of two Esoteric Warfare teams, 
and the use of highly toxic gaseous agents. 


Instances of SCP-2487-02 that have emerged from SCP-2487-01 
and escaped initial containment and/or destruction have been found 
between fifty and seven hundred twenty-one kilometers of the initial 
site, all deceased. The carcass is inevitably located near the 
residence of an employee of the United States Postal Service; 
individuals affected in this manner are designated SCP-2487-03. 


SCP-2487-03 instances are ignorant of their anomalous nature, and 
are biologically human. However, two anomalies are present in 
SCP-2487-03 instances. Firstly, all members of the Canis family are 
markedly more aggressive towards SCP-2487-03 instances. 
Secondly, the nature of this anomaly appears to be contagious— 
post that has been handled by SCP-2487-03 individuals transmits 
this anomaly to other individuals who are members of the United 
States Postal Service. 


No more than five months after the initial contact with the anomaly, 


the progenitor SCP-2487-03 instance will be found dead, seemingly 
eviscerated by a large, canine animal; biopsies on canids in the area 
will confirm the presence of human flesh in the digestive tract. 
Following this, another employee of the United States Postal Service 
that has handled mail which was also handled by SCP-2487-03 will 
become the next SCP-2487-03 instance. This cycle repeats until 
either 1) all subjects in this chain are killed or 2) a subject in the 
chain has their employment as a member of the USPS terminated. 


Addendum: Document 2487-01: In the aftermath of a near 
containment breach on October 19th, 2016, a member of STF 
Omega-15, Private Bovington, discovered a metal capsule 
embedded in a tree near the center of the SCP-2487 quarantine 
zone. After reporting it to site command, Private Bovington was 
given the go-ahead to extract the item, it was returned to Site-930 
for transport to the nearby research and containment Site 84. During 
this time, the capsule was accidentally opened, and the following 
document was found inside. The text was printed three times, in 
simple Greek, Latin, and an unknown language, believed to be a 
combination of Cherokee and Latin, with syntactic traces of Greek 
and Nahuatl included.

SCP-277: Chalkland 


Item #: SCP-277 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to difficulties inherent in 
containing SCP-277, it has been placed under a Level- lockdown. 
Activities of the residents of SCP-277 must be monitored by no less 
than embedded agents, and civilians are not to be aware of 
Foundation presence or influence. Any attempts to contact civilians 
within SCP-277 by those outside SCP-277 must be investigated. 
Personnel must undergo psychological screening before being 
assigned to SCP-277. 


Description: SCP-277 is a moderately populated town in _ , 

The principal anomaly within SCP-277 are apparitions found 
throughout the area that seem to be images projected from 
children’s thoughts, or imagination. These are collectively referred to 
as SCP-277-1. Incidents of SCP-277-1 appear as figures ‘drawn’ in 
white outlines, with no physical substantiality of their own. The size, 
‘style’ in which they are ‘drawn,’ and the complexity of the 
projections vary from child to child. 


Pre-pubescent children are the only individuals capable of producing 
such incidents, and the process of projecting one seems for the 
most part to be unconscious and involuntary. An average of 
incidents of SCP-277-1 are present at any given time within the 
area; a largely comprehensive catalogue of pre-pubescents and the 
designation of their projections may be found in Document 277- . 
While embedded Agents are requested to report potentially 
uncategorized children to their supervisors to be examined, due to 
the size of SCP-277, the pre-pubescent population there within, and 
security complications, this is recognized as occasionally unfeasible. 


Incidences of SCP-277-1 are capable of interacting with each other, 
although physical objects pass through leaving no damage to either 


SCP-2488: Safety Harbor Milk Delivery Service 


Item #: SCP-2488 
Object Class: Neutralized Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Any recovered instances of 
SCP-2488-1 are to be stored in Site-23's Refrigerated Containment 
Unit 23-4. Individuals in possession of SCP-2488 instances, or 
possessing knowledge of SCP-2488 are to be amnesticized ona 
case-by-case basis. 


Description: SCP-2488 refers to a series of anomalous phenomena 
that occurred between April 21, 1933 and 1939.1 During this period, 
an organization known as the Safety Harbor Milk Bottle Delivery 
Service operated within Safety Harbor, Florida. The parameters of 
its tasks were to intake empty milk bottles and deliver full bottles of 
milk bearing the brand label "Safety Harbor Milk" (hereafter known 
as SCP-2488-1). 


No deliverymen or vehicles were sighted during delivery hours, and 
SCP-2488-1 materialized where no human observers could observe 
the event. On April 21, 1933, a full bottle of milk manifested on the 
threshold of every populated household within the city limits of 
Safety Harbor. Safety Harbor did not previously own a milk bottle 
service, due to economic hardship during the 1930s. The population 
of Safety Harbor is recorded to have shown misgivings towards 
SCP-2488 events upon initial manifestation. However, over time, 
SCP-2488 became an integral portion of Safety Harbor. 


SCP-2488 events occurred every night, at 00:03.2 Any empty milk 
bottle labelled as a Safety Harbor Milk bottle demanifested, if placed 
upon any portion of its linked household that could be defined as a 
"threshold", "patio", or "porch". At 00:05, an instance of SCP-2488-1 
manifested for every received milk bottle. 


When consumed, SCP-2488 was known to give the consumer 


increased physical capability.3 Although this improvement did not 
significantly impact Safety Harbor, it allowed for an increased level 
of productivity that led Safety Harbor into a marginally improved 
economic and societal standing. 


If, at any time, an active citizen of Safety Harbor consumed 
SCP-2488-1, they were subject to the effects of SCP-2488. 
Following death, citizens of Safety Harbor would become 
reanimated, with drastically increased physical strength and stamina 
and progressive but usually minor cognitive decay. It became a 
major source of manual labor, which allowed for the development of 
more diverse professions for living citizens. Subjects who consumed 
SCP-2488-1 did not report its effects to be distressing. According to 
witnesses affected by SCP-2488, there was some concern related to 
SCP-2488 when reanimated corpses were first encountered, but 
most subjects declared the reanimation events to be "a boon". 


Reanimated subjects had an additional lifespan of 3-5 weeks, and 
only reanimated if the body was fully intact following death. Subjects 
were known to dig their own graves as they neared the end of their 
second lifespan, which became the subject of formal ceremonies 
similar to burials. However, these events were documented as more 
lively and upbeat. Reanimated subjects, although initially 
documented as startling, became a normal occurrence for citizens of 
Safety Harbor. 


Addendum 2488- 
Alpha: Original Containment Procedures 


CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES, 1933 TO 
1939 


At least ten Foundation personnel are to be 
planted within Safety Harbor, Florida, while 
SCP-2488 persists. Investigations into the 
Safety Harbor Milk Delivery Service are 
considered top priority during SCP-2488 
containment. However, the Second Life Labor 
Service is also to be implemented, in order to 
attempt to normalize life in Safety Harbor, 
while accounting for SCP-2488's effects. 


Census information from Safety Harbor is to 
be supplied remotely by Foundation personnel 
during containment development. Anyone 
attempting to enter Safety Harbor or approach 
it will be deterred by Foundation personnel 
posing as National Guard. The official cover 
story during containment is to establish that 
the area is currently undergoing sensitive 
relations with Native American peoples. 
Similarly, those who attempt to leave Safety 
Harbor are to be deterred with the news that 
nearby areas are undergoing conflict with 
Native American peoples. 


If interest in the cover story is generated in 
public media outside of Safety Harbor, 
Foundation personnel are to immediately 
repress emphasis on the town. Interests are 
instead to be directed towards northern 
regions of Florida as much as possible. 


DISCOVERY: SCP-2488 was first noted by a 
local publication claiming an uprising of the 
undead in west central Florida. The article, 
once investigated, was covered a second time 
in the same publication, and explained as a 
hoax. Peoples attempting to investigate Safety 
Harbor for themselves were deterred as the 
Foundation initiated investigation. 


The initial questioning of the mayor of Safety 
Harbor, Jackson Burk, led to the knowledge of 
a recent act of vandalism. The town's local 
Native American burial mound had been 
disturbed and laced with various litter as a 
rebellious act, in consequence of a newly 
established curfew. All the litter from the 
surface and first ten centimeters of the mound 
was removed, but it was otherwise left 
undisturbed during the investigation.

Beta: Miscellaneous Recovered Documents 


DOCUMENT 2488 15-C 


Source of Documentation: Summary of 
Town Hall Meeting, circa mid 1933 


The meeting transcript implies that this was 
the first encounter with the anomaly related to 
SCP-2488. Several moments of hysteria 
among attendees broke out during the course 
of the meeting, calling for the mayor to 
sequester the newly reanimated subjects. It 
was, however, the sentiment of a small group 
of attendees that this was a newly raised 
opportunity from God. This group was later 
identified as members of the Safety Harbor 
Christian Chapel. 


Citizens of Safety Harbor agreed to isolate 
recently dead persons in a location that 
supposedly no longer exists. At the time, it was 
used as a general storage area for the town, 
near the western limit. Reanimated persons 
were to be held here until their second 
expiration. A rotating one-month cleanout 
process was established. 


DOCUMENT 2488 17-C 


Source of Documentation: Summary of 
Safety Harbor Chapel board meeting, circa 
mid 1933 


The meeting's transcript implies some 
disagreement over the board's stance on the 
reanimated subjects. The discussed religious 
implications mostly resulted in dissent and 
disagreement among members, some of which 
opposed the confinement of reanimated 


persons. By the end of the meeting, no official 
verdict was established. 


DOCUMENT 2488 23-C 


Source of Documentation: Summary of 
Town Hall meeting, circa early 1934 


This is the third documented meeting solely on 
the topic of SCP-2488 events. Citizens show 
less aversion to reanimated subjects than 
before, after discussion of recent events. 
According to the transcript, a group of citizens 
(mostly from two of the town's larger families) 
broke into the warehouse and freed their 
reanimated relatives. After most reanimated 
persons had left the premise, a large 
procession was held for the proper burial of 
those who had experienced their second 
expiration. 


A mob of other citizens gathered to re-contain 
reanimated persons. It was at this time that 
Foundation personnel stepped in, suggesting 
that reanimated persons may not be inherently 
violent or ill-willed, like many held as a 
preconceived notion. During this night, after a 
Foundation-facilitated agreement was made 
between a significant portion of the town, the 
first "grave parties" were held. Although the 
original intent was a small town gathering the 
following day, the expiration of several 
reanimated persons led to their burial during 
the festivities, which initiated a newly found 
notion of "grave parties".
