Purpose: Basic testing of the object’s effects. 


Travel Log: 

00:05 — Subject exits Site 19. Subject 
requests transportation to the nearest airport, 
as well as a ticket to the first flight to New 
Jersey. Request was fulfilled. 

01:26 — Subject arrives at the airport. He is 
followed by the research subteam of Dr. 
Rolick, Junior Researcher Niklo Gerdinel, and 
Security Personnel Maxwell Grand and Sarah 
Rucker. 

04:50 — Subject and the research subteam 
arrive in Newark New Jersey. Subject requests 
motor vehicle transportation to Cape May. 
Request was fulfilled. 

07:22 — Subject and research subteam reach 
Cape May. Subject enters a local pet store and 
retrieves a four-month-old golden retriever. 
Gerdinel stays behind to pay for the dog as the 
rest of the subteam follows Subject. 

07:41 — Subject arrives on the beach, and 
proceeds to walk along the shore. Research 


subteam follows. 

09:04 — Subject stops and places the dog on 
the ground. Dr. Rolick confirms that, with high 
probability, this is the location depicted in the 
instance of SCP-3650. Subject appears to 
return to normal. When asked about the dog, 
Subject responded, “she wanted a dog, so | 
brought her a dog." After Subject leaves the 
beach, Gerdinel finds the golden retriever and 
returns it to the pet store.

Cold bites at their skin 


Picture: The view from the summit of Long’s 
Peak, Colorado, looking toward Estes Park 
and Estes Lake. There are no clouds, and 
some snow can be seen atop surrounding 
mountains. 


Research Team Instructions: Neither assist 
nor hinder the subject. 


Purpose: Testing the strength of the effect of 
the object. 


Travel Log: 

00:06 — Subject exits Site 19 and requests 
transportation to the nearest airport. Subject 
also requests a ticket to Denver, Colorado. 
Both requests are denied. Subject requests 
food and water for eleven days. Request is 
fulfilled. Subject is given a parcel with food and 
water. Dr. Rolick places a tracking device, a 
camera and a microphone on the parcel. 
00:11 — Subject walks to Highway I-25 and 
follows it in the direction of Colorado. 


76:31 — Subject shouts obscenities at the 
research team. Subject had not stopped 
walking before this point except to rest and 
eat. 

220:42 — Subject encounters the research 
team which had flown out to Colorado to 
continue in-person observation of Subject. 
267:27 — Subject and research team arrives 
at the base of Long’s Peak. 

267:54 — Subject retrieves a clock from an 
unoccupied National Park Service building. 
268:32 — Subject begins to ascend Long’s 
Peak. Dr. Rolick, Junior Researcher Gerdinel, 
and Security Personnel Maxwell Grand and 
Sarah Rucker follow. 

275:13 — Gerdinel reports a feeling of light 
headedness and nausea, presumably caused 
by the ascent. Grand escorts Gerdinel to the 
base of Long’s Peak. Rolick and Rucker 
continue to follow Subject. 

280:37 — Subject arrives at the top of Long’s 
Peak. She places the clock on the ground and 
shouts “There. Have it. | don’t have much left 
myself.” Subject appears to return to normal, 
and then collapse from exhaustion. 

281 :02 — Subject regains enough strength to 
be escorted to the base of the mountain. When 
asked about the clock and her remarks at the 
top of the mountain, Subject refused to 
respond.

[DATA EXPUNGED] 


Picture: 


Research Team Instructions: Lock the 
subject in a humanoid containment cell. The 


cell is to be furnished with a bed, a toilet, and 
nothing else. Do not release the subject. 


Purpose: Determining the effects of 
SCP-3650 on subjects unable to reach the 
destination. 


Travel Log: 

00:00 — Subject is locked inside of humanoid 
containment cell 4512. Subject requests 
release from containment. Request denied. 
00:02 — Subject begs for his release. Request 
denied. 

01:10 — Subject requests food. Request 
fulfilled. Subject uses plate in an attempt to 
create a hole in the wall. 

01:31 — Plate breaks. Subject continues, now 
using a shard of the plate. 

01:53 — Subject no longer has shards large 
enough to continue digging. Subject begins 
pacing, possibly to relieve stress. 

05:32 — Subject sits down, but remains visibly 
distressed. Signs of this stress include nervous 
tics, biting of nails, and tapping. 

61:53 — Subject is seen turning in his sleep, 
and heard murmuring to himself. Guards on 
site claim that Subject said "I just want to 
help," although there is no conclusive 
evidence of this. 

84:17 — Subject begins shaking. Gerdinel 
requests to conclude the test. Request denied. 
103:45 — Subject has stopped requesting 
food. Subject claims to no longer be hungry, 
but will eat when prompted. 

216:30 — Testing concludes. Subject's mental 
and physical state deteriorated from stress and 
anxiety since previous notes, and exhibited no 
other symptoms of note. Upon release, 
Subject travels to the location depicted on the 
instance of SCP-3650 shown to him, and 


[Subject pauses. ] 
Janice Erickson: You aren't going to tell him any of this, are you? 
Interviewer: That is extremely unlikely. Please continue. 


Janice Erickson: Like | said, | had no idea it was the stupid rock 
making all this happen. So | took the tapestry down - when | took it 
down, | saw blood on the walls behind it and | really freaked out. | 
was just going to hide somewhere but after seeing the blood | took 
the goddamn thing out back and | burned it. It really stunk when it 
burned. When it was gone, | felt better. | stayed out of the atrium for 
a week, just in case. 


[Subject pauses. ] 


Janice Erickson: When | went in there again, of course | felt the 
heartbeat again. | was pissed. | told myself | was imagining things 
and | felt really guilty about burning the tapestry. Like... guiltier than 
you can imagine, guiltier than I'd ever been since | was a kid and 
accidentally killed my pet goldfish. | soaced out in the room and just 
kept cleaning and crying. 


[Subject pauses, attempts to compose self.] 


Janice Erickson: Then | heard faraway screaming and | stopped 
dusting and saw the blood trickling slowly down the walls. My eyes 
were all blurry with tears and | tried to wipe them away and my hand 
came back bloody. | saw ... bodies. Naked dead rotting things, 
mostly half-hidden behind display cases. There was this dead dog 
and it was almost completely rotted and covered in maggots but was 
still trying to move and looked so horrible | couldn't even scream. | 
tried to run, | really did, but | couldn't make my legs move. | kept 
trying to yell for help but | couldn't. | was so sure | was going to die. 
This lasted ... hours. | think | passed out and woke up a couple 
times. After a while | saw this corpse standing around, staring at the 
walls. Then out of nowhere he was staring at me. | think that was as 
close as | got to screaming because | really tried then. He never got 
close to me but he kept staring. He'd disappear and then reappear 
somewhere else in the room, staring at me again. | saw others, too, 
but they were on the other side of the room doing... | don't know.

Picture: The inside of one of the Shoshone 
Indian Ice Caves in Idaho. The only lighting 
comes from the flash on the camera. A frozen 
waterfall runs down the cave wall. 


Research Team Instructions: Assist the 
subject in reaching his destination by any 
means necessary. 


Purpose: Confirm that all instances work in 
the same manner. 


Travel Log: 

00:02 — Subject requests a ticket to Boise, 
Idaho. Request fulfilled. 

01:34 — Subject arrives at the airport. He is 
followed by the research subteam of Dr. 
Rolick, Junior Researcher Niklo Gerdinel, and 
Security Personnel Maxwell Grand and Sarah 
Rucker. 

03:32 — Subject and the research subteam 
arrive in Boise, Idaho. Subject requests motor 
transportation to the Shoshone Indian Ice 
Caves. Request fulfilled. 

05:51 — Subject and the research subteam 
arrive at the Shoshone Indian Ice Caves. 
Subject retrieves a commemorative knife from 
the souvenir store. Gerdinel stays behind to 
pay for the knife as Rolick, Grand and Rucker 
follow Subject into one of the caves. 


06:29 — Subject stops moving for several 
minutes. Subject then attempts to slit his throat 
with the knife, though Rucker and Grand 
intervene. Subject is physically restrained, and 
his knife is confiscated. 

11:13 — Subject is returned to the facility. Dr 
Rolick concludes that Subject is no longer 
affected by SCP-3650. When questioned 
about his attempted suicide Subject replied 
"she appreciated the effort, even if she still 
feels lonely," and refused to elaborate further. 


SCP-3652 


Item #: SCP-3652 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3652 is to be stored ina 
standard item storage locker at Site-77. Due to potential for harm, 
testing must be approved by at least one person on-site with Level 3 
clearance, and testing must occur in a blast-proof room. Testing 
deemed especially dangerous or unethical by Level 3 personnel, 
including placing living creatures inside SCP-3652, must be 
escalated to a member of staff with Level 4 clearance for approval. 
Any person who is to place an item inside of SCP-3652 must be 
interviewed in regard to their belief on the meaning of the phrase 
"turn inside out" and screened for any level of education or 
knowledge that may affect this belief, to avoid a scenario similar to 
Test 5 (see Testing Logs). 


Description: SCP-3652 is a corrugated cardboard Plain Brown Box 
(as named by Home Depot), measuring 76.2cm x 76.2cm x 76.2cm, 
with walls approximately 3mm thick. When an item is placed into 
SCP-3652 and it is shut, the item is turned inside out over a period 
of exactly five (5) minutes. Due to the fact that there is currently no 
known method of viewing the inside of the object while this occurs, 
SCP-3652's exact workings remain a mystery. 


During this period of time, SCP-3652 exhibits the Vickers hardness 
of non-anomalous corrugated cardboard and will not dull knives 
which are used on it. Despite this, no opening in the object can be 
made via any currently known means, conventional (lifting the flaps) 
or unconventional (tearing or piercing), though it can be folded or 
dented in ways that do not produce an opening. Knives and other 
such implements used on SCP-3652 consistently appear to 
temporarily lose all sharpness, merely indenting the object before 


stopping completely. SCP-3652 will also contain concussive forces 
during this period of time (see Test 5), as well as repelling all forms 
of radiation (e.g. X-ray) intended to allow one to view inside it. Upon 
the five (5) minutes having elapsed, SCP-3652 is then able to be 
opened. 


Testing has revealed that the effect of SCP-3652 appears to be 
dependent on the person who placed the item inside it (hereafter 
referred to as "Subject"), specifically their perception of the meaning 
of the phrase "turn inside out", though this appears to have 
constraints (see Test 8). 


When SCP-3652 is not closed, it can be damaged as if it were non- 
anomalous cardboard, though any such damage regenerates over a 
period of five (5) minutes when the box is again closed. Its function 
will not begin until all damage has been repaired. Given that 
SCP-3652 appears to be influenced by human belief, it is possible 
that the level of structural integrity the object must have before being 
"closed" is dependent on the person who closes it. As SCP-3652 
requires being in a closed state to begin repairing damage, tests 
which may lead to severe damage (e.g. disintegration) to the object, 
such that it cannot be reassembled sufficiently to close (or rather, for 
the average human to consider it closed), must be approved by 
Level 4 personnel to avoid its permanent destruction. 


SCP-3652 was purchased by Aiden in 2015 as part of a5 
Moving Box Bundle, for the purpose of relocating a cathode ray tube 
television from his parents' home to his newly purchased apartment. 
Television arrived at apartment in a state of extreme destruction, 
with the majority of the wires outside the main body of the television. 

attempted to bring a lawsuit against the moving company which 
transported SCP-3652, at which point Foundation personnel 
became aware of the object. The other 4 Plain Brown Boxes which 
SCP-3652 were purchased with display no anomalous properties, 
and were successfully used by to transport various other 
possessions, before being disposed of. 


It is unknown why SCP-3652 displays its anomalous properties, as 
according to thorough Foundation investigation the object was 
manufactured identically to other Plain Brown Boxes with raw 


materials (paper, glue) also found in other (non-anomalous) 
products. 


Addendum: 
+ Testing Logs 


Test 1 

Item: Polyester shirt 

Subject: D-0892, 25 years of age 
Procedure: Subject placed item inside box 
and then closed it. 

Results: Sound of cloth rubbing against 
cardboard was observed for a duration 
described as "around five minutes", later 
determined to be exactly five (5) minutes 
through the use of a stopwatch. Box was 
opened to reveal polyester shirt turned inside 
out, similar to how a human would manipulate 
a shirt if instructed to "turn the shirt inside out", 
with the skin-facing side of the shirt facing 
outwards and vice versa. 

Analysis: Object appears to not destroy items 
as previously inferred from 's description 
during his lawsuit, but turn them inside out. 


Test 2 

Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with 
section of bovine rib inside of it. 

Subject: D-0892, 25 years of age 
Procedure: Subject placed item inside box 
and then closed it. 

Results: Sound of squelching meat and 
grinding bone observed for five (5) minutes, 
during which subject was removed from the 
testing room at his request, referring to the 
sound as "really unpleasant". Box was opened 
to reveal the steak, now with its meat encased 
by a smooth bony shell approximately 5mm 


thick. Shell was later determined to be of equal 
mass to the original bovine rib bone fragment. 
Analysis: Object does not violate 
conservation of mass, though it is unknown 
where it gets the energy to perform its 
function. Further testing is required to 
ascertain if the subject’s perception of the 
sound of SCP-3652's function was anomalous. 


Test 3 

Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with 
section of bovine rib inside of it. 

Subject: D-0192, 40 years of age 
Procedure: D-0192 placed item inside box 
and then closed it. 

Results: Similar to Test 2. Shell was once 
again determined to be of equal mass to the 
original bovine rib bone fragment. D-0192 
made no comment on the sound of 
SCP-3652's function and remained in the 
testing room for the full duration of five (5) 
minutes. 

Analysis: Object appears to have no 
anomalous properties regarding its sound, or 
said properties are not effective on all 
members of the population. “Squeamish” 
added to D-0892’s file, to be further 
investigated as their reaction is odd 
considering the acts committed which led to 
them being acquired by the Foundation as D- 
class personnel. 


Denied. Investigating why a non-anomalous 
homicidal maniac doesn't like squelchy sounds 
is a waste of time, research personnel are 
advised that the D in "D-class" can be 
considered to stand for disposable - Senior 
Research Officer 


Test 4 

Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with 
section of bovine rib inside of it. 

Subject: Dr. ,M.D., 35 years of age 
Procedure: Dr. _ placed item inside box and 
then closed it.
