1.A 10x 15 cm black and white photo of a building with the 
following carved in its stone fagade “Danhorn Public Library”. 
The photo is in poor condition. Analysis indicates this photo 
was developed during the 1950s and has not been tampered 
with. Foundation agents found the photo during a raid ona 
foreclosed house in Red Oak, lowa May 1, 1998. 


¢ There is no record of Danhorn as a town, village or 
municipal entity in lowa or any other state. 


3. A book titled "The Unwilling Wind" by Laura Kelfkin, copyright 
1971 by Krinko Press. The book is a 265 page slightly-worn 
hardcover 40 cm x 31 cm in size. The pages contain a 
mediocre novel, which eschews the development of character 
or plot. On the inside cover is a pocket stamped "Property of 
the Public Library of Danhorn, lowa." The checkout card has 
only one entry: Louisa Watson on May 1st, 1979. The 
prohibition on destructive testing applies to the cover and front 
pages of the book, but does not apply to the story itself. The 
book was obtained [REDACTED]. 


* There is no record of a book named “The Unwilling 
Wind”, an author Laura Kelfkin or Krinko Press. 

« No one named Louisa Watson lived in lowa during that 
that time frame according to census, DMV, IRS and 
property records. 


6. A Nokia 3210 cell phone. The cell phone was found at an 
estate sale at 119 Main Street in Burkeville Virginia in 2007. 
Investigation has revealed nothing to indicate its prior history. 
This cell phone, manufactured circa 2000, contains three 
encrypted text messages, all dated September 15, 2001: 


* “On my way to IA". 
¢ "Hope you learn from this experience”. 
¢ “Confirmed status of Danhorn”. 


Addendum 1971-1: 

Extensive research into public records, Internet records and 
government files has revealed no evidence the town ever existed. 
Available evidence points to a hoax. 


Addendum 1971-2: 
Foundation agents executed random questioning of 9,500 lowa 
residents over the age of 35 between years and 


1. 427 of these residents confirm the existence of Danhorn, 
lowa. None of this population was able to find the town's 
name on an actual map. 351 of this population attempted to 
provide directions, but the directions were contradictory and 
all were found to be incorrect. There was nothing statistically 
significant about the geographical locations of the population 
with knowledge of the town. 

2. 285 of those questioned claim to have traveled to or through 
Danhorn. Descriptions of the town were collected from this 
population. Computerized correlation analysis calculates that 
specific details given in these interviews agree with a 
statistically significant accuracy of 92%. To summarize, 
Danhorn is a small village of about 3000 people surrounded 
by small to moderate-sized farms. The descriptions in no way 
indicate the town is of singular interest, other than the fact that 
95 of the 96 individuals who dined at the town's only 


restaurant claim that "The Feed Sack serves the best beef 
brisket". 


Addendum 1971-3: 

Evidence has accumulated indicating the existence of a village 
named Hogsette, Maine. As with SCP-1971, the town in question 
can not be verified to have ever existed. The evidence from 
Hogsette is in the process of being added to SCP-1971. 


Addendum 1971-4: 
The evidence from Simino, Montana; Mund, Texas; and Osterhouse, 
Washington is in the process of being added to SCP-1971.

SCP-1972: The Whore and the Cop 


Item #: SCP-1972 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1972-A is to be kept ina 
standard humanoid containment cell and provided a vegetarian diet, 
with a total of 2 kg of meat allowed per month as a reward for 
cooperation. As a precaution against mental, auditory, or visual 
compulsion effects, SCP-1972-A is to be equipped with a vocal 
modulator, and contact is to be limited to female personnel. The 
proposal of sterilization surgery to remove primary, secondary and 
tertiary ovaries is currently under review. 


SCP-1972-B’s containment unit is to be coated with Class 5 high- 
temperature reusable surface insulation. All communication with 
SCP-1972-B is to be carried out remotely. 


SCP-1972-A and SCP-1972-B are not to be brought into contact 
with one another, or made aware of the Foundation's containment of 
the opposing party. 


Description: SCP-1972-A is a humanoid entity standing 
approximately 2.4 meters when fully erect, bearing cervine and 
cephalopodic physical characteristics. Subject’s skull structure is 
similar in size and shape of that of an adult moose (Alces alces), 
with three pairs of palmate antlers forming a ring around the 
cranium. A fleshy mantle extends from the back of the skull, 
containing fatty tissues and redundant organs. A pouch similar to 
that of marsupials is located on the subject’s abdomen. Subject has 
six upper limbs and nine lower limbs, all of which are muscular 
hydrostatic tentacles, with the tip of each tentacle split into twelve 
smaller appendages for fine manipulation. SCP-1972-A is sapient, 
and fluent in French (joua/ dialect), with minor knowledge of English, 
and is generally cooperative with staff. 


Approximately 93% of human beings that come into visual contact 
with SCP-1972-A will show no adverse reaction to the subject, 
despite having full awareness of SCP-1972-A’s appearance. This 
effect does not apply to photographs or recorded footage of 
SCP-1972-A: when exposed to such media, subjects will typically 
react with revulsion, even if they had previously observed 
SCP-1972-A in person. 


SCP-1972-B is a dull grey metallic sohere measuring 55 centimeters 
in diameter, with a 4 cm band of red metal around the equator. The 
chemical makeup of SCP-1972-B is unknown: no samples have 
been successfully taken. SCP-1972-B is capable of self-propelled 
flight, generally hovering one to two meters above ground level, with 
maximum observed height being over 500 m. The method of 
propulsion is unknown. 


SCP-1972-B is sapient, and is capable of speaking English. The 
method of vocalization is unknown. SCP-1972-B is openly hostile, 
attacking by means of emitting a stream of superheated plasma with 
a temperature of approximately 30,000 K. Use of this weapon is 
accompanied by a proclamation of criminal charges against the 
victim. 


SCP-1972-B has attempted escape on numerous occasions, 
resulting in a total of 43 deaths of Foundation personnel, with the 
stated intention of seeking out and killing SCP-1972-A. 


Recovery Log: SCP-1972-A and SCP-1972-B were recovered in 
Montreal, Quebec on April 18th, 2010. Foundation investigation of 
SCP-1972-A had begun in March of that year after discovery of the 
“Green Wallpaper Sex Tape”. (Video was taken down 14 hours after 
original upload, according to standard Internet censorship 
protocols.) 


Interviews with the tenants and landlord of SCP-1972-A’s place of 
residence indicated that the subject had lived on the premise since 
December of 2009, under the name of Jessica V . Subject 
solicited sex from passersby around local adult bookstores, bars, 
and clubs, changing area of operation every three to five days. 
Testimony from neighbors indicates that SCP-1972-A would often 
solicit groups of numbering between three and eight individuals, in 


addition to single clients. 


SCP-1972-B was first contacted at 22:43 on April 18th, during 
violent pursuit of SCP-1972-A. MTF-©-15 was deployed, containing 
SCP-1972-A at 23:21 and SCP-1972-B at 00:36. Amnestics were 
distributed to the populace according to protocol. Event was 
declared an outbreak of gang violence. 


Interview Log 1972-A-1: Excerpt of an interview conducted 
between SCP-1972-A and Dr. Ysolda Taylor upon containment. At 
this point, SCP-1972-A had been fitted with a vocal modulator. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Taylor: SCP-1972-A, when you came into our care 
two days ago, you were being attacked. Do you have 
any idea why? 


SCP-1972-A: [shrugs] Some people don’t really approve 
of my choice of profession. | could have sworn that guy 
was off my trail, but you know how it goes. Thanks for 
taking care of him. 


Dr. Taylor: Of course. 


SCP-1972-A: | mean, | don’t get it. Don’t get why they’re 
always after me. | help people. Life is tough, you know? 
Some people need someone to talk to. Someone to go 
out to dinner with, blow off some steam with. They need 
to be less alone, even for one night. | mean, when you’re 
poor and lonely and the only thing you got to look 
forward to in life is getting some tail, you might as well 
get some actual love out of it, and that’s where | come in. 


Dr. Taylor: You love them. 


SCP-1972-A: Each and every one. They need it. It’s all 
drugs and guns and broken families, let me tell you. You 
listen to the shit they've got going on, and no wonder 
they come to me. | try my best to talk some sense into 
them, get them set on the right path. 


Dr. Taylor: Your... appearance... doesn't cause an 
issue? 


SCP-1972-A: Most people get over it. Take what you 
can get, you know? They’re willing to put up with little 
flaws, and its better here than at some of those other 
places. Most of them don’t care, so long as they got 
something to screw. But some of them, they listen. Get 
on their own feet for a bit, start walking on a better road. 
People go on with the ‘selling your body’ thing, but | use 
what | got, and seeing one of those guys walk away and 
make something of his life because someone showed 
him a little love, that’s worth it. 


<End Log> 


Interview Log 1972-B-1: The following interview is the first 
successful dialogue between Foundation personnel and SCP-1972- 
B. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Taylor: SCP-1972-B? My name is Ms. Taylor. | ama 
defense lawyer assigned to your case. 


SCP-1972-B: | APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO 
MEET WITH A LOCAL OFFICER OF JUSTICE. WE 
MAY NOW SPEAK, SO AS TO END THIS 
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. 


Dr. Taylor: Please lower your voice. 


SCP-1972-B: | AM SPEAKING AT MINIMUM VOLUME. 
FURTHER DECREASES WILL RESULT IN 
CESSATION OF COMMUNICATION. 


Dr. Taylor: Very well. I'll start with a few questions. 
When you were originally detained, you were attacking 
another entity. Can you tell us why? 


SCP-1972-B: SUBJECT ALYGH-SANKON-143672 IS A 
WANTED CRIMINAL OF THE FIRST ORDER. AS AN 


OFFICER OF JUSTICE IT IS MY DUTY TO BRING 
SUBJECT ALYGH-SANKON-143672 TO JUSTICE FOR 
CRIMES AGAINST THE STATE AND SAPIENTS 
THEREIN. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT 
YOU INFORM YOUR SUPERIOR OFFICERS OF 
JUSTICE OF THE NATURE OF THIS INDIVIDUAL AND 
BRING HER TO ME. 


Dr. Taylor: What exactly did she do? 


SCP-1972-B: SUBJECT ALYGH-SANKON-143672 IS 
GUILTY OF GRAND PROSTITUTION, PUBLIC 
INDECENCY, POSSESSION AND SALE OF 
UNPROCESSED ORGONE, AND CORRUPTION OF 
AN OFFICER OF JUSTICE. 


Dr. Taylor: Can you explain further? 


SCP-1972-B: YES. SUBJECT ALYGH-SANKON- 143672 
IS GUILTY OF THE GREATEST OF CRIMES, USING 
HER SEDUCTIVE WILES TO LEAD AN OFFICER OF 
JUSTICE ASTRAY, PREYING UPON THE WEAKNESS 
OF THE FLESH WITH A SENSUALITY THAT COULD 
NOT BE DEFENDED AGAINST. FOR THIS CRIME | 
HUNT SUBJECT ALYGH-SANKON-143672, AND WILL 
NOT REST UNTIL SENTENCING AND EXECUTION. 
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. 


Dr. Taylor: That is an incredible amount of dedication to 
your cause. 


SCP-1972-B: IT IS AMATTER OF PERSONAL 
HONOR. | MUST SEE THE TASK COMPLETED, AND 
NO OTHER. 


Dr. Taylor: And why is that? 


SCP-1972-B: | AM THAT OFFICER, AND | AM 
PREGNANT.

SCP-1973: The Sinking Field 


Item #: SCP-1973 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The area for 100m around 
SCP-1973 has been fenced off, low-voltage electric fencing has 
been employed to deter members of the public. Inspection of the 
fence is to be carried out every fortnight. The crew of SCP-1973-1 
are to be kept in suitable onsite housing units and provided the 
equivalent of Level 1 Clearance. In the interests of site security, they 
are not permitted past the perimeter fences. SCP-1973-1 itself is to 
be housed in a sealed section of the facility garages. One guard is 
required to be on watch at any one time as a contingency. 


Description: SCP-1973 appears to be a standard, if extremely and 
perpetually muddy field located in the state of [REDACTED], USA. 
Persons entering the field will not experience any unusual 
phenomena, however vehicles (manned or otherwise) will sink 
entirely within 2-5 hours, verified by the use of numerous test 
vehicles. There appears to be no correlation between size/mass of 
vehicle and sinking time. The only vehicle to exit SCP-1973 to date, 
SCP-1973-1, is a US Army M48A3 Patton Main Battle Tank of Troop 
A, 3d Squadron, 5th Cavalry "Black Knights", point of origin 
discovered upon interviewing crew. No anomalous activity has been 
reported in or by SCP-1973-1 or crew since recovery. Both are in 
the equivalent conditions as similarly aged counterparts. 


Transcript of Interview-1973 
Interviewed: Lt.(ret.) Keiler 
Interviewer: Researcher 


Foreword: As the commanding officer of SCP-1973-1 or 
as he calls it, "Jeannie", Lt.(ret.) Keiler was selected as 


the most appropriate to be interviewed. After undergoing 
psychiatric evaluation and a subsequent course of anti- 
depressants, he has been cleared as psychologically 
healthy despite further, minor symptoms of PTSD. 


Begin Log, 1103 12/07/1993 
Interviewer: Lt. Keiler... 
Keiler: Ray. You can call me Ray, doc. 


Interviewer: Ok, Ray, | understand you are aware of 
your current listing as MIA? 


Keiler: Yeah, I've been told. 


Interviewer: It has also been explained that you will not 
be returning to the military or indeed a 'normal' life based 
on your ‘experience’? 


Keiler: Shit, yeah, right again. 


Interviewer: Ok, thank you. Now, can you describe for 
me the events of // ? 


Keiler: Well, it was just your regular combat maneuvers, 
to start. We were providing infantry support for these 
grunts, round the Ben Het area | think, yeah ‘round there, 
and just as they were calling in the Thunderchiefs [USAF 
attack aircraft] to mop things up we start reversing out of 
there through this paddy. 


Interviewer: Was there anything unusual about it? 
Anything out of the ordinary? 


Keiler: No. | didn't even register it really, | mean it's not 
like they're uncommon! [laughs] So yeah, we were 
getting the hell out of there when we hit the mother of all 
mud holes, I've seen some nasty shit in my time with 
tanks up to their cupolas in crap, but man this paddy was 
freakin' deep! The back end was dug in, | reckoned we 
had maybe 3 or 4 feet left to sink, max. And well, turns 


out | was wrong, don't it? 


We just kept going down, just straight down, easy as you 
like. AS soon as the mud got above the top of the treads 
and didn't stop | buttoned up the hatches and told ‘em to 
wait it out, didn't want all the paddy-water inside you see, 
maybe radio for an M88 [armored recovery vehicle] or 
something. We're sitting in Jeannie here [pats the side of 
SCP-1973-1 affectionately] for what, 3 hours? The air 
was getting real dry in there by that time, | was close to 
saying 'to hell with the tank’ and just running. We didn't 
even know we'd gone fully under, but | knew we were 
deep. Next thing, there's a lurch and were totally level 
again. So | say to the Kid, ‘have a look out.' He does. 
Tells us to look. We do. Man, | still don't believe what | 
saw. Like a mechanic's wet dream, man it went on for 
miles. 


Interviewer: Can you elaborate?
