Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1058 is to be kept in 
Humanoid Containment Wing 2 of Site 17. Due to the nature of the 
subject's anomalous behavior, the floor of the cell is to be covered 
with 1cm of sand, to be replenished every two weeks. The cell is to 
be lit by only a single light source at all times. The source should be 
mounted in the center of the ceiling, with redundant backups in case 
of failure. 


Description: SCP-1058 appears to be an approximately 60-year-old 
male human, possibly from the southern United States. The subject 
was recovered from a Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd. "distribution 
center" in , . The subject is fully sentient and capable of 
speech, as well as interaction with physical objects. 


SCP-1058's anomalous properties manifest as a total invisibility to 
all forms of direct observation. Despite this, the subject does cast a 
shadow. In addition, SCP-1058's shadow causes the surface or 
object which it falls upon to alter its appearance towards that of the 
subject. The speed and mechanism of the process appear to be 
dependent on the density, state, and other physical characteristics 
of the substance the subject's shadow is being cast on. Sand and 
other granulated or powdery substances seem to be the quickest 
affected by SCP-1058, with metals and other hard materials being 
among the slowest affected. 


Any object attached to the subject also comes under its effect, 
becoming invisible to direct observation, and altering the 
appearance of the effect of the subject's shadow on the material. 
Anything removed from the subject becomes visible, this includes 
clothes and accessories, as well as pieces of hair, blood samples, 
and other bodily effects. 


Addendum: 


Test Log 1058-1 
// 


Subject: SCP-1058 

Test Coordinator: Senior Researcher 

Testing Environment: Standard Foundation 5m x 5m x 5m testing 
cell. Floor was covered in approximately 1cm of sand for the 
duration of the test, and SCP-1058 was placed on a chair in the 
center of the cell. At the start of the test, all but a single light was 
turned off until the conclusion of the test. 


00.01.00: A visible ridge of sand appears to form on the sand on the 
side of SCP-1058 opposite the lamp in the shape of the subject with 
his arms by his side. 

00.01.37: SCP-1058 is instructed to lift his arms above his head. 
Subject complies. 

00.01.44: The sand ridge is observed to "tumble", following the 
movement of the subject. The affected area began to gain a more 
detailed likeness of the subject regardless of movement. 

00.02.08: Subject is instructed to wave arms rapidly. Subject 
complies before returning his arms to the original position. 
00.02.15: The sand remains stationary. Affected area ceases 
movement as the hypothesized maximum level of detail is reached, 
being little more than a silhouette with creases at the ankles, waist, 
wrists, neck, and hairline. 

00.02.40: Test ended. 


Test Conclusion: The subject's effect on the material it is projected 
onto is preceded by an unmeasured amount of "lag" before the 
material is altered to reflect movement.

Subject: SCP-1058 

Test Coordinator: Senior Researcher 

Testing Environment: Standard Foundation 5m x 5m x 5m testing 
cell. Floor was covered in a large piece of sheet metal, and 
SCP-1058 was placed on a chair in the center of the cell. At the start 


of the test, the light source was placed so that it shined upon 
SCP-1058 from a different angle. 


00.00.19: Surface of the metal in the subject's shadow begins to 
show signs of corrosion and rust. 

00.05.14: Subject falls asleep. Portion of the metal affected remains 
the same besides gaining additional detail slower than before, 
contrary to the slight changes in subject's posture. 

00.23.55: Subject is woken up, instructed to get out of chair. 
00.24.10: Chair observed to have changed color in accordance to 
the subject's immediate shadow. 

00.24.14: Color of chair gradually returns to previous state. The 
corrosion and rust on the metal remains. No other anomalous 
properties observed. 

00.25.40: Test ended. 


Test Conclusion: Speed of the effect appears to be based on the 
subject's state. The duration of the effect on the material also 
appears to be based on the mechanism by which it is affected, not 
only the physical properties of that material.

SCP-1059: Infectious Censorship 


Item #: SCP-1059 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Documents known to be written 
by personnel infected with SCP-1059 are to be re-written by 
uninfected researchers. Personnel known to be infected with 
SCP-1059 are to be treated with counter-memetic therapy and 
removed from duty until they show no further signs of infection. They 
are to afterwards be monitored for signs of relapse. Individuals 
outside the Foundation found to be carrying SCP-1059 are to be 
treated with Class-A amnestics if practical, or otherwise removed 
from positions where they can potentially infect others. 


Description: SCP-1059 is a memetic compulsion to hide, censor, or 
otherwise obscure information when communicating with others. It is 
most prevalent in those already dealing with classified or sensitive 
material. 


Infected subjects will, when conveying information, find that 
apparently random pieces of information will seem 
disproportionately important. This information will be treated as 
though it is at the highest level of classification the writer is familiar 
with. They will do so even after the information has been shown to 
be relatively harmless, or even vital to those reading the resulting 
material. 


SCP-1059 is spread by reading infected material or discussion with 
infected individuals. Those most at risk are those still learning 
classification procedures. Infection can be easily prevented by 
maintaining a solid grounding in the rules and regulations governing 
classified material within the organization. 


SCP-1059 was discovered at the National Security Agency when a 
discrepancy was noticed by Agent Jameson, a Foundation operative 


embedded in NSA headquarters in Ft. Meade, Maryland. 
Documents originating from certain offices were being classified at 
Top Secret, regardless of their actual content. After other possible 
causes were ruled out, further investigation showed several 
individuals were infected with a previously unknown memetic agent, 
which was eventually designated SCP-1059. 


Addendum 1059-1: Improper handling of infected materials led to 
an outbreak of SCP-1059 within the Foundation. It has been difficult 
to track thus far, and a full audit of Foundation documents and staff 
is pending. So far, seventeen fatalities can be directly attributed to 
vital information expunged from containment procedures. 


Addendum 1059-2: This document has demonstrated signs of 
SCP-1059 infection, and has been expanded to meet Foundation 
standards. Please see Document SCP-1059-A for previous version.

SCP-1060: Penanggalan 


Item #: SCP-1060 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1060 is to be contained in 
a humanoid observation/detention cell at all times. During subject's 
daytime cycle, subject is to be provided with food items from the 
Site-33 cafeteria. During subject's nighttime cycle, subject is to be 
nourished with 0.8 kg of human placental material and provided with 
a basin of at least 4 liters of rice wine vinegar. 


Description: SCP-1060 is a human female of southeast Asian 
ethnicity, answering to the name of Adilah . Subject is fluent in 
the Malay language and somewhat conversant in Malaysian English. 
In interviews during subject's daytime cycle, subject has indicated 
that she is 22 years of age, is trained as an obstetrics nurse and is 
unaware of any unusual aspects of her physiology. In these 
interviews, subject has expressed a lack of awareness of her 
nighttime cycle physiology or activities and protests that she merely 
sleeps at night. During the daytime cycle, subject frequently 
demands to be released from containment or to be permitted to 
contact family members. 


During subject's daytime cycle, subject appears and behaves as a 
normal human female. During subject's nighttime cycle, which 
generally begins within 80 minutes after the subject falls asleep, 
subject's head and internal body organs (heart, lungs, liver and 
much of the digestive system and gut) detach from the rest of the 
subject's body with a sudden jerking motion, leaving a hole around 
the base of subject's neck. Subject's head and organs then levitate 
by means of an unknown process and freely float around the 
containment cell while subject's tongue—which increases to 
approximately 22 cm in length during this stage—flicks at the air in 
the manner of a snake. The remainder of subject's body remains 
lying in a resting position. Subject's upper and lower canine teeth 


also increase in length and sharpness during this stage. Under 
normal containment circumstances, subject will consume the 
provided placental material, using the dangling lengths of gut in the 
manner of prehensile limbs to lift the material to the subject's mouth. 
Following the feeding, the subject will dip the exposed organs into 
the vinegar, whereupon the organs shrink so that they can be 
stuffed back into the subject's body cavity. The head then reattaches 
to the body, leaving no visible seam or scar. 


Addendum SCP-1060.01A Following Incident 1060.01, no pregnant 
females are to be admitted into the containment chamber during 
SCP-1060's nighttime cycle. During Incident 1060.01, Researcher 
Marilyn , who at that time was in her second trimester of 
pregnancy, entered the containment chamber during subject's 
nighttime cycle to top off the basin of vinegar. Immediately upon 
SCP-1060's detection of Ms. 's presence in the chamber, 
SCP-1060 flew at Ms. at a great rate of speed, then used 
lengths of prehensile gut to bind and immobilize Ms. . Subject 
then bit the researcher in the abdomen and consumed the fetus in 
situ, together with most of the rest of the uterus and its contents.

SCP-1061: The Accidental Car 


Item #: SCP-1061 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1061 should be kept in a 
secured, climate-controlled garage. Its tires have been removed and 
should not be replaced for any reason. Its doors should be locked at 
all times and its windshield boarded up, unless testing is in progress. 
All experiments are to be performed within the garage. 


Access to SCP-1061 is restricted to Level 4 personnel and to D- 
class personnel engaged in authorized testing. Aside from 
authorized testing, it is forbidden for anyone not seated in any of the 
passenger seats to make any contact with any part of the driver's 
seat; personnel who make contact with the driver's seat while not 
seated in any of the passenger seats become instances of 
SCP-1061-1, and are to be apprehended until such time as they can 
be used in approved testing. Removal of post-test biological waste 
from SCP-1061's interior is to be performed by robots; no other 
maintenance is to be performed on SCP-1061. 


Description: SCP-1061 is a dark red 1992 Pontiac Grand Am with 
severe collision damage, including a large hole in its driver's-side 
front windshield. It manifests three distinct anomalous properties; 
these properties are considered to be linked, in that they seem to be 
caused by the same anomalous entity. 


The first anomalous property is that SCP-1061 is associated with 
several illusions. The collision damage is only visible from the 
outside; when viewed from inside or through an open door, 
SCP-1061’s interior appears completely intact. This is purely a 
visual illusion, and is detectable by electronic recording devices. 
When viewed from the inside, the side windows (when closed) and 
rear windshield show the city of [REDACTED] and its environs, on / 
/1996 (as determined by meteorological, astronomical, and 


botanical observations, and by sightings of newspapers and other 
periodicals) — the day that SCP-1061 was in its collision. The front 
windshield will likewise show the city and its environs; however, the 
hole in the front windshield made by the impact of the original 
driver's head shows neither urban/suburban [REDACTED] nor the 
containment chamber. Instead, it shows [REDACTED].
