Current theories indicate that the death of SCP-1447-2, at the hands 
of SCP-1447-1 or otherwise, is unlikely to result in the destruction of 
the tulpa given its current level of autonomy; controlled infliction of 
pain on SCP-1447-2 shows no corresponding change in behaviour 
on the part of SCP-1447-1. However, SCP-1447-1 is currently 
containable largely by virtue of the fact that it consistently seeks out 
and attempts to kill SCP-1447-2; freed from this compulsion the 
entity would become completely unpredictable. For the foreseeable 
future containment efforts must focus on further reducing the 
incidence of breach attempts and minimising the exposure of other 
Foundation assets to SCP-1447-1. 


Access Interview 1447-21 


Interviewer: Dr. Rolfus 
Interview Subject: SCP-1447-2 
Date: 20/09/19 


Dr. R: How are you feeling today, 
SCP-1447-2? 


SCP-1447-2: That's not my name. 


Dr. R: | understand that you claim to be 


SCP-1447-2: | am 


Dr. R: We'll get to that. What is the nature of 
your connection to SCP-1447-1 ? 


SCP-1447-2: That's what you call the tulpa, 
isn't it? 


Dr. R: That is what we call the entity that has 
thus far attacked two of our facilities in an 
effort to get to you. 


SCP-1447-2: | created it. 
Dr. R: You created SCP-1447-1? 


SCP-1447-2: Yes. After '85 | resumed my 
travels in India and Tibet. | guess | was 
seeking a spiritual experience. 


Dr. R: You were a tourist. 


SCP-1447-2: Yes, of sorts. | found a group of 
monks in Qinghai who said they would teach 
me how to create a tulpa. 


Dr. R: What did you hope to accomplish? 


SCP-1447-2: Well. A tulpa is supposed to be 
a, a thought-form, made visible and tangible to 
others through intense meditation. 


Dr. R: Answer the question. 


SCP-1447-2: | thought | had. | guess | didn't 
have any ulterior motives. To manifest my 
thoughts, to impose my will on reality; isn't that 
enough? 


Dr. R: You couldn't control this tulpa? 


SCP-1447-2: At first | could. | wanted to 
manifest the Budai. You probably know him as 
the Fat Buddha, but he wasn't a Buddha, he 


was a folkloric deity. The monks told me to 
choose something else but | became fixated 
On it. 


Dr. R: lf you don't mind me saying so, footage 
we have of SCP-1447-1 does not resemble the 
Fat Buddha. 


SCP-1447-2: No. Over time he changed. He 
became thinner, meaner-looking. 


Dr. R: Its behaviour changed. 


SCP-1447-2: Yes. | imagined him as jolly, a 
prankster. It would play practical jokes on me 
and the other monks, but over time they grew 
more and more spiteful. 


Dr. R: What happened? 


SCP-1447-2: It began to do things like putting 
pots of scalding hot water over doors. He hid 
snakes in our sandals. Harmless first, then 
poisonous. 


Dr. R: | wasn't aware there were venomous 
snakes in Tibet. 


SCP-1447-2: There's one. The Fea's viper. But 
you're right, their habitat is hundreds of miles 
south of the monastery. | didn't understand 
how he had got it. 


Dr. R: And now you do. 


SCP-1447-2: His speed. Yes. One day | 
realised | couldn't visualise his face any more. 


Dr. R: That was a turning point? 


SCP-1447-2: Yes. He became murderous. The 
monks caught him trying to cut my throat 


during the night. 


Dr. R: They were able to see the tulpa by this 
stage? 


SCP-1447-2: Yes. They were afraid the tulpa 
would kill them too. They told me about 

Note: Operational codename for Site-73 used 
exclusively by recovery agents. 


Dr. R: You are aware that it is quite impossible 
for them to have knowledge of that facility. 


SCP-1447-2: So you tell me. 
Dr. R: And as to your identity... 


SCP-1447-2. I've told you as clearly as | can. 
Ask your damn IT department. 


Dr. R: How do you account for these? 

Note: Dr. Rolfus shows SCP-1447-2 a number 
of recent press cuttings concerning his 
namesake. 


SCP-1447-2: | cannot. 


Dr. R: There is in fact no evidence that 

left the United States during the period we are 
discussing. In fact, | have copious evidence 
that during the time you claim to have been in 
Tibet he founded another company. 


SCP-1447-2: Maybe hired someone to 
impersonate me. It says I'm back at 
There's your motive. 


Dr. R: Rest assured we'll be keeping both 
and under close observation. 


SCP-1447-2: No, that's not good enough. | 
want my life back. You don't have the right to 


detain me here. 


Dr. R: Mr  . You are here because you are 
currently the target of an apparently 
supernatural being that has thus far cost this 
organisation an extraordinary amount of 
money and dozens of lives to contain. We 
have every right. Tell me, what happens if 
SCP-1447-1 kills you? 


SCP-1447-2: | don't have to listen to this. 


Dr. R: Will SCP-1447-1 cease to exist if you 
die? Answer the question. 


SCP-1447-2: | refuse to answer. 
Note: Interview terminated by Dr. Rolfus.

SCP-1448: Legend Tripping 


Item #: SCP-1448 
Object Class: Euclid-nuntii 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Nu-6 
“Triple-Dog Daredevils” is tasked with tracking SCP-1448 to the best 
of their ability. Active members of Nu-6 must appear to be between 
the ages of 12 and 18, and have experience in undercover work. 
Support personnel also require experience in undercover operations 
but may be of any physical appearance. Once SCP-1448 has 
ceased migration, Nu-6 will pose as minors and make regular 
reports regarding any statements made about the area inhabited by 
SCP-1448, hereby SCP-1448-1. Footage, images, and reports of 
SCP-1448 are to be discredited. 


Each instance of SCP-1448-1 is to be purchased by an appropriate 
Foundation front company and closed to the public when possible; 
otherwise, the Foundation is to cooperate with the appropriate 
authorities to acquire the area under eminent domain. 


Any minors approaching SCP-1448-1 between sunset and sunrise 
are to be detained and questioned, then administered amnestics 
and released. If possible, false memories detailing the failure of any 
tasks they came to accomplish should be implanted. 


Description: SCP-1448 is an incorporeal entity that appears as an 
opaque black object roughly 8 meters in diameter with a rapidly 
shifting physical form. SCP-1448 only absorbs visible light in very 
dim light, rendering it invisible to the naked eye from shortly before 
sunrise to shortly after sunset and difficult to see otherwise; 
however, it is several degrees cooler than its surroundings, allowing 
it to be tracked via infrared sensors. Except during migration events, 
SCP-1448 will display no activity whatsoever. SCP-1448 emits 
indistinguishable whispering noises at roughly 10 dB during 
migration events. 


SCP-1448 will only remain in one area for a period of between three 
months and ten years, with the median time of residence being 
fifteen months. After this period of time, SCP-1448 will leave and 
travel to a new destination at a mean speed of 65 kph and a height 
of between one and fifteen meters. SCP-1448 will normally travel 
approximately 950 kilometers before choosing a new habitat. 


SCP-1448 tends to inhabit manmade structures, although by no 
means will it restrict itself to artificial habitats. In every recorded 
instance, SCP-1448-1 has been in an area accessible to the public. 
SCP-1448-1 has, in the past, been: 


Churches. In all cases, churches inhabited by SCP-1448 have 
always been over 53 years old at time of migration. SCP-1448 
rarely inhabits other religious centers. 

Cemeteries. Cemeteries inhabited by SCP-1448 frequently 
have larger-than-average gates. Said gates often require 
frequent maintenance to prevent rusting. 

Caves. Subterranean areas that have been SCP-1448-1 
frequently become colonized by bats after SCP-1448 departs, 
if they were not already home to bats. 

Trees and stumps over two meters in diameter. Oak trees are 
the most common tree for SCP-1448 to inhabit. 

A variety of abandoned buildings in varying states of disrepair. 
SCP-1448 has attempted to inhabit SCP-1084 on five 
separate occasions, in each case compounding 
[REDACTED]. 

Densely forested areas. Forests containing SCP-1448 have 
been noted to become significantly darker after containment 
and appear to remain so indefinitely. 

Small bodies of water, such as swamps, ponds, and the 
shores of lakes. In these cases, SCP-1448-1 has always been 
the site of at least one drowning, intentional or otherwise. 
Amusement parks and other outdoor recreational areas. 
Persons who enter SCP-1448-1 during these instances are 
highly unlikely to dispose of refuse properly. 


In a disproportionately large number of cases (16.3%), SCP-1448-1 
has been the scene of at least one death prior to hosting SCP-1448. 
Said death has been within twenty years of containment in each 


incidence. 118 separate incidences of SCP-1448-1 have been 
recorded since discovery in 1839. 


The effects of SCP-1448 being present at SCP-1448-1 are believed 
to begin approximately three days after SCP-1448 has ceased 
migration, although they may not become apparent for another 
week. The primary effect of SCP-1448 is the creation of rumors or 
“urban legends” regarding SCP-1448-1, often concerning supposed 
deaths or otherwise paranormal activity in the area. Usually, these 
rumors (collectively SCP-1448-2) are begun and spread among the 
youth population of the population center nearest SCP-1448-1. 
When SCP-1448-1 is near a densely populated area such as a city, 
SCP-1448-2 will generally be restricted to several city blocks or one 
neighborhood. 


A feature common to every instance of SCP-1448-2 is that, between 
two and three weeks after SCP-1448 arrives at SCP-1448-1, a 
rumor will surface to the effect that performing certain actions in or 
near SCP-1448-1 will yield results that would normally be 
considered implausible or nonsensical. Every documented "ritual" 
involves situations in which SCP-1448-1 is likely to be exposed to 
appreciable amounts of blood (human or animal). No blood lost by a 
subject at SCP-1448-1 has been recovered. 


Examples of rituals produced by SCP-1448 include: 


¢ Placing a dead cat on a grave near SCP-1448-1-01 (see file 
photo) along with a wart removed from the subject's person 
was intended to cure the mumps. 
¢ A female having sexual intercourse for the first time in or 
under SCP-1448-1-23 would not become infected with 
pathogens or become pregnant from the event, provided no 
other precautions were taken, i.e. birth control or condoms. 
Repeating the phrase “She [REDACTED]’ with one’s eyes 
closed while running through SCP-1448-1-61 was supposed 
to cause the ghost of Edna , who committed suicide in 
SCP-1448-1-61 in late 1894, to manifest and kill the speaker. 
Self-mutilation at midnight in SCP-1448-1-112 resulting in 
significant blood loss will grant audience with [DATA 
EXPUNGED)]; notably, a similar entity was recovered from the 
area several months earlier. 


Note that all rituals produced by SCP-1448 are completely 
nonfunctional and each is unique in nature and intended results. 
Reported failures of these attempts have been somewhat effective 
in discouraging others from making attempts. 


After SCP-1448 migrates from SCP-1448-1, SCP-1448-1 is most 
commonly avoided by locals whenever possible for several years 
afterwards. The rumors and legends regarding SCP-1448-1 will 
stay, along with the mildest versions of the rituals involving 
SCP-1448-1. Persons will no longer exhibit any unnatural desire to 
perform these rituals. Former instances of SCP-1448-1 do not 
require containment. Former instances of SCP-1448-1 are reviewed 
for further containment on a case-by-case basis (See Incident 
Report 1448-38). 


Research into creating reliable containment procedures for 
SCP-1448 is underway.

SCP-1449: Dreamtime Whale Shark 


Item #: SCP-1449 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1449 is contained within a 
Type-65 Containment Module, measuring 13 meters in diameter. 
The containment module is to be suspended within the storage 
chamber by means of a magnetic suspension system, and is to 
monitored daily for any cracks or warping in the surface. In the case 
of a containment breach, the chamber housing SCP-1449’s 
containment module is to be filled with methyl formate-based foam. 


All test subjects exposed to SCP-1449 are to be briefed on known 
dream features and mechanics, must attain a score of 75 or above 
on the Lang-Desantos Lucidity Test, and are to be implanted with A5 
Eidetic Recall Memetic Triggers. All information gathered by tests is 
to be compiled in Document 1449-FG. 


Description: SCP-1449 is a living artistic representation of a whale 
shark (Rhincodon typus), in the style of Aboriginal Australian dot art 
and measuring 13 meters in length. SCP-1449 does not require any 
sort of nourishment, or other usual physical needs. While in an 
aquatic environment, SCP-1449 will exist in three dimensions, but is 
capable of shifting to a two-dimensional form when presented with a 
continuous solid surface. SCP-1449’s three-dimensional form 
consists entirely of paint dots, arranged in the outline of a fully grown 
whale shark; the entity’s two-dimensional form is a top-down 
depiction of the creature. 


SCP-1449’s behavior is similar to that of non-anomalous members 
of the species while in an aquatic environment: However, SCP-1449 
will move inland at night once approximately every fifty to seventy- 
five days, generally in areas of low population. SCP-1449 has been 
witnessed to move at least 400 kilometers inland. No purpose for 
this activity is known at this time. 


Individuals that enter REM sleep within 2 km of SCP-1449 will 
experience vivid dreams, which share the same setting and 
inhabitants, interacting within multiple separate continuities. All 
dreams will begin with the subject holding on to the tail of 
SCP-1449, and left within swimming distance of shore. Eighteen 
unique entry points are currently known, with each point of entry 
existing in a separate continuity of the setting.! Subjects are capable 
of affecting events within a continuity, and these changes may be 
witnessed by other test subjects, though these changes will be 
limited to a single continuity. Throughout all continuities, the dream 
environment is a series of island chains and small continents set 
within a large, shallow ocean. Inhabitants of this area are generally 
humanoid in appearance, with several rarer sapient species of non- 
human appearance. Inhabitants are not aware of the nature of test 
subjects, insisting that they are simply “travelers from afar.” 


Addendum-01: Notable events, entities and locations within 
SCP-1449’s dream environment include: 


Test 0003: First interaction with a non-human sapient species. 
Entities were serpentine in body structure, measuring 
approximately ten meters in length. Entities were encountered 
again in tests 0016, 0023, 0040, and 0056. 

Test 0009: Subject witnessed a migratory herd of platypi, each 
estimated to weigh in excess of two thousand kilograms, led 
by six heavily-tattooed humanoids standing three meters in 
height. 

¢ Test 0014: Subject was mauled by a bunyip. No permanent 
damage sustained. 

Test 0029: Subject was accepted as apprentice to Grey the 
Rabbit Hunter, completing three successful hunts before end 
of test. 

Test 0035: First observation of serpentine creature with 
prismatic scales, measuring an estimated 90 kilometers in 
length. Subsequent observations occurred in tests 0090 and 
0091. 

Test 0054: Subject effected major changes within 
Continuity-1449-11 by initiating the arrest of local slave trader, 
which led to the execution of the slave trader. Test subject 
was considered a local folk hero by inhabitants upon 


subsequent visits to the continuity.
