SCP-1045 Candle of Life - The Candle Lantern That Reveals Hidden Agony
Channel: Eastside Show SCP
Date: 2021-03-26

This SCP Foundation reading video is about SCP 1045 "Candle of Life". SCP-1045 is a square wood-framed candle lantern measuring 15 cm x 15 cm x 32 cm. When a candle is placed within SCP-1045 and lit, the walls of SCP-1045 depict the shadow of a miniature humanoid, as if lit from behind by the candle. The shadow on each side of the lantern depicts a different angle of the same subject. The shadow of the humanoid is always writhing, as if in pain, and it is surrounded by what appear to be semi-opaque flames. The shadow of the figure will persist as long as the candle is burning. Its motions become more frantic as the candle comes closer to burning out.
