truck, too. He was dead by then, and not too 
big, by the looks of him. | was running on pure 
adrenaline, so he didn’t weigh hardly a thing. | 
drove out to the river and pushed him in. 


Dr. : So you’re saying that the Pumpkin 
Man was not only animate, but verbal? 


: Oh yeah. | mean, he wasn’t spouting 
Shakespeare or anything, but he was hollering 
like a baby stuck in a man’s body. It was damn 
eerie. Damn eerie. 


Dr. : A baby... Can you show us where 
you disposed of his body? 


: Sure. Anything you want. 


Dr. : You said you used to put out food 
for the Pumpkin Man when you were younger. 
Please elaborate. 


: Sure, sure. We all used to do it. We put 
out a little bread or pieces of meat. They’d 
disappear the next day, so we knew he was 
out there. Probably just the crows, you know. 
Or mice or something. Back then, it was a 
simple fact that it was the Pumpkin Man. Just 
like Santa. 


Dr. : Did you ever see the Pumpkin Man 
when you were younger? 


: I'd see things. Weird things. You know, 
when | was out hunting or whatever. Bare feet 
in the silt miles out of town. Little piles of rocks 
around the pumpkins, you know. Like, like fairy 
rings. Ask anybody in the Mat-Su Valley. This 
One time, there were neat little piles of shit 
throughout the patch. Humaure type stuff kind 


Dr. Henderson: Do you remember the name of this 
group? 


SCP-285: | don't know man. | remember him talking 
about some 'fucking stoners’, but that's pretty much 
it.

The following collection of documents are filed in chronological order 
based off of documents from SCP-285's internal database and 
Gol-102 related documents. The purpose of this collection is to 
provide a possible time frame regarding SCP-285's creation and 
Pol-6938's overall motive and goal.

| don't give a damn what blunt thinks or says. | 
need him. Without him, | wouldn't have gotten 
this far. The damn feds are crawling all over 
the damn place, and this guy is the only thing 
keeping them away from me. If anything, you 
should be glad he's around. Better for them to 
be mind fucked into oblivion than just killed, 
right? 


Man, you really gave this guy some sweet 
powers. You sure this guy was meant to be a 
kiddy thing? | thought we were meant to be 
pacifists or something? 


Not that I'm complaining. 


You know, that's the one thing I've always 


of sitting in these little shallow holes. Weird as 
hell. Thought it might be a trick or something, 
like tipping outhouses. Sometimes tools 
disappear or show up someplace strange, but 
you can never really tell if you left them 
somewhere stupid or if somebody just 
borrowed them without asking. You know... 
somebody not Pumpkin Man. 


Dr. : Thank you, you’ve been very helpful. 
If you can think of anything else, or if you see 
anything else regarding the Pumpkin Man, 
please contact us as soon as possible. 


: Whatever you say, lady.

Closing Statement: should be actively 
monitored for three months. After three 
months, should be passively monitored. 
1 g of cocaine was confiscated from Ss 
domicile and remains in Foundation holding, 
should decide to approach officials about 
Foundation trespassing and assault. Regular 
sweeps of farm and surrounding forest 
should be scheduled before and during 
harvest season. 


Addendum: To date, the Foundation has had 4 documented 
encounters with SCP-2531 dating from 1984 to 2014. The original 
SCP-2531 file was comprised of SCP-2531-01 through 
SCP-2531-04 assuming that each fetus was a separate but similar 
entity. However, further testing has determined that in all 
occurrences, SCP-2531 is the same entity sharing a 100% DNA 
match. Physical evidence such as marks made by samples taken, 
testing [see archived data], or damage to SCP-2531 induced while 
cutting open the pumpkin-wombs further supports this theory. 
However, the pumpkin-wombs in each instance have tested as 
unique specimens of varying color, size, and genetic make-up. This 
file has been updated to rectify this error. Archived data available 


below. / /2014 
+ Archived Data 


SCP-2531-01: / /1984: SCP-2531-01 was 
removed from pumpkin/womb and stored in 
the Alaska State Medical Examiner's cold 
chamber held at positive temperatures of 2 °C 
(36 °F) to 4 °C (39 °F). SCP-2531-01 was 
completely reduced to organic dust in under 58 
hours (exponential decomposition). Pumpkin/ 
womb decomposed at a standard rate. Blood, 
tissue samples, and frozen remains were 
recovered from the Alaska State Medical 
Examiner's Office and are currently stored at 
Site-103. 


SCP-2531-02: / /1992: SCP-2531-02 was 
removed from pumpkin/womb and stored in 
Site-103's standard morgue cold chamber held 
at negative temperatures of —40 °C (-40 °F) to 
-—50 °C (-58 °F). SCP-2531-02 was completely 
reduced to organic dust in 8 days (exponential 
decomposition). Pumpkin/womb decomposed 
at a standard rate. 


SCP-2531-03: / /1994: SCP-2531-03 was 
submerged in liquid nitrogen connected to 
pumpkin/womb to induce mummification at 
Site-103. 


4 distinct letters were inscribed upon the right 
palm of SCP-2531-03 using permanent ink (B), 
tattoo needle (G), scalpel laceration (Q), and 
grafting laser (W). 


SCP-2531-03 was completely reduced to 
organic dust in 16 days (accelerated 
decomposition) despite mummification. 
Pumpkin/womb remains in cold storage 
(Site-103 Vault ). 


SCP-2531-04: / /2014: SCP-2531-04, 
attached pumpkin/womb, and living squash 
plant were contained at Site-103. Ultrasound 
tests confirmed SCP-2531-04 exhibited signs 
of life. Although nutrients were provided, the 
stem was damaged in transport. SCP-2531-04 
subsequent death and decomposition began 
13 hours after transport. SCP-2531 was 
removed from pumpkin/womb and although 
rigor mortis had begun, SCP-2531-04 showed 
a remarkable lack of decomposition. 


3 letters were observed inscribed upon the 
right palm of SCP-2531-04 [see 
SCP-2531-03]. Both sub-dermal scalpel 
laceration (Q) and grafting laser burn (W) were 
clearly discernible. The tattooed letter (G) was 
visible only as irritated skin. There was no 
physical trace of ink within the punctures. 
There was also no physical trace of permanent 
ink. 


SCP-2531-04 was implanted with a GPS 
tracking device as well as an RFID chip below 
the left clavicle. 


SCP-2531-04 was stored at room temperature 
to attempt to induce recurrence for future 
containment. SCP-2531-04 was completely 
reduced to organic dust in 31 hours 
(exponential decomposition). Both GPS and 
RFID devices showed no evidence of 
decomposition. Pumpkin/womb remains in 
cold storage (Site-103 Vault- ).

have both confirmed that SCP-2531-01 
through SCP-2531-04 are actually the same 
entity. | request an update to the SCP-2531 file

SCP-2532: Now Hiring 


Item #: SCP-2532 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All cases involving the 
manifestation of previously uncatalogued species in a specific area 
are to be investigated for possibly originating from SCP-2532. 


In the event that an uncontained SCP-2532 instance is discovered, it 
is to be removed from its public locations(s) through the use of 
Protocol CASSANDRA. Any civilians who have been confirmed to 
have activated SCP-2532 or observed SCP-2532-A are to be 
administered E-Class amnestics. Collected instances of SCP-2532 
are to be filed at Site-63. 


In the event that an SCP-2532-A population is discovered, the full 
population is to be secured and isolated. Following this, members of 
the population are to be euthanized until the population is able to 
both sustain itself and be realistically contained at Site-104. Each 
population is to be provided with an environment and diet which 
simulate its natural conditions.1 


Investigation into SCP-2532's origin is ongoing. 


Description: SCP-2532 designates a set of related "help wanted" 
advertisements. In addition to a brief description of the job, the 
advertisement will list benefits and requirements for the job, as well 
as a phone number. In all recorded cases, all listed phone numbers 
are valid, and will produce no anomalous effects when called by 
someone who has not read the phone number on an SCP-2532 
instance. 


If a subject dials a phone number that they have read on an 
SCP-2532 instance within twenty four hours of reading it, they will 
be greeted by a human voice claiming to represent various 


organizations, such as "Terran Employment Agency" "Biosphere 
Enhancement Society" and the "Coexistential Work Program'"?. If 
the subject inquires about either the advertisement or the 
employment opportunity described, the voice will ask the subject to 
hold, followed by a period of silence lasting approximately one 
minute. The voice will then apologize and inform the subject that 
"that opening has already been filled." The voice will then ask the 
subject if they would like to be informed about future employment 
opportunities as they become available. Whether or not the subject 
responds in the affirmative does not seem to have any influence 
over future effects. 


Within thirteen hours of the completion of the phone call, a 
population of previously undiscovered organisms (SCP-2532-A)$ will 
manifest at an area near‘ to where the call was made and where the 
"job" conditions described by the SCP-2532 instance exist. The 
SCP-2532-A population will proceed to integrate with the local 
ecosystem in the area, filling previously unfilled ecological niches. 
To date, all SCP-2532-A populations have been well-adapted to 
survive their respective environments and ecosystems.

A 

Small, flightless 
insects which are 
eaten by avians in 
urban environments. 
Fully mature female 
instances will hold 
several fertilized eggs 
in her own body 
before placing 
themselves in 
locations where they 
are likely to be eaten. 
Eggs are highly 
durable and often 
survive through the 
avian's digestive track, 
hatching large 
distances from their 
parent's original 
location. 
Species of large, 
marsupialoid felines. 
Instances will invade 
urban areas and 
abduct domesticated 
members of Felis 
Catus. Instances will 
then adopt abducted 
cats, and will treat 
them as if they were 
infants or juveniles. 
Eventually, abducted 
cats are fully 
integrated into the

meters in length. 
Reptiles seem to be 
herbivorous 
decomposers, 
ingesting large 
amounts of dead plant 
matter which has 
fallen to the forest 
floor, followed by 
digging burrows and 
hibernating in them 
while ingested plant 
matter decomposes. 
Instances have no 
known predators or 
prey. 

[DATA EXPUNGED] 


A species of non-toxic 
fungus. Instances are 
red in coloration with 
vaguely floral 
structured caps.

Megalodon. Instances 
are capable of 
unaided propulsion 
through the air. 
Passage through the 
front of the jaws leads 
to a digestive tract, 
presumed to exist in 
extradimensional 
space. Instances prey 
primarily on Larus 
Canus.

SCP-2533: Disinformation Document 


Item #: SCP-2533 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2533 is inactive unless 
read by a human. When not in use for an authorized viewing event, 
it is to remain in a sealed manila envelope which is placed in a 
locked filing cabinet drawer in Secure File Storage room 2 at Site 
19. Access must be authorized by Level 3 Supervisors or higher. 


SCP-2533 may not be read by any person alone under any 
authority. To minimize the risk of violent outbursts, exactly three 
people per viewing event are allowed in the test chamber. Two 
group members shall read the document and compare its subject 
matter; the third group member takes the role of mediator and 
facilitator.! Before reading, members of a designated viewing group 
must disclose recent personal disagreements with other members of 
the group. Any member holding a significantly negative opinion 
about another member is disqualified from the viewing event and 
must be replaced.2 


No action is to be taken on the subject matter of the document, 
except to investigate the accuracy of events described. Each 
member of the viewing group shall be debriefed individually and, if 
possible, given accurate information to counteract the disinformation 
received in the viewing event. If exposure to SCP-2533 causes 
severe mental distress in the reader, a class C amnestic may be 
administered at the reader's request. 


Description: SCP-2533 is a 9 page document printed on standard 
A4 paper stapled at the top left corner. This document appears to be 
a surveillance report performed by Site 19 security staff of the recent 
activities of a person known to the reader. The report contents and 
surveillance subject are different for each reader. When multiple 
readers view the document together, each perceives it to be about a
