SCP-136-A

The SCP-136-A doll in containment at Site-19.

An artistic representation of the SCP-136-A entity as described by one of its witnesses.

## **`DESCRIPTION`**

SCP-136-A is a seeminly simple and crudely made clay doll measuring 27.94 cm (30 in) in length. When the doll is damaged to the extent where it no longer appears in the rough shape of a humanoid, it vanishes completely and reappears within a 0.9 meter (3 ft) radius, completely intact. Testing of complete vaporization pending.

When SCP-136-A is viewed for approximately 20 minutes, an entity will manifest visually to those who had been observing the doll. The first indication of the entity's presence is a reported sound of laughter. Personnel who hear the laughter report it as sounding “creepy” or “scary.” The laughter lasts for an interval of anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 minutes, after which is a period of silence, usually of about 5 minutes. After the period of silence, the entity appears along with the abrupt disappearance of the SCP-136-A doll.

The entity is an incorporeal figure, with a wide maw fillwed with sharp teeth, deep red eyes and clawed hands, standing at approximately 2.1 meters (6'10''). The entity moves my hovering above the ground, at a speed no greater than 0.2 m/s (0.4 mph) towards the subject(s). If more than one subject is present, each will see the form as moving towards him or herself. As it approaches, the volume of the laughter increases. By the time the entity is within 0.9 to 2.1 m (3 to 7 ft), the subject will have invariably gone rigid in fear, collapsed, or backed up until he or she hits a wall. SCP-136-A usually remains stiff until it is within approximately 5 cm (2 in) of the subject, whereupon it will scream once before vanishing. Within 10 to 15 seconds, the SCP-136-A doll will reappear in its previous location.

The experience of viewing the SCP-136-A entity is profoundly upsetting and has universally caused night terrors for up to 6 months in every single subject. After a viewing, most subjects are unable to leave the containment room without assistance.

SCP-136 has no effect on non-human animals ~~and cannot move past the boundaries of the room in which the doll is kept or, when outside, no more than 10 meters (33 feet) from the last location of the doll~~.

**Addendum:** Due to incident 136-b, in which the entity manifested near the 25th person to view the entity, Foundation researcher Dr. Simon over a day after last exposure, an incident which also caused Simon and 3 other nearby researchers to lose consciousness, Dr. Meyers has requested reclassification to Keter class. All researchers awoke unharmed, save for Simon, who lapsed into a coma and expired 3 days later. Dr. Meyers' request has been denied.

Dr. Meyers is to be removed from administration of SCP-136-A. Control of SCP-13-A is to be given directly to Overseer {REDACTED} [Taylor] and Dr. {REDACTED} [Hackett] for exclusive use in enhanced interrogation.

[The SCP-136-A entity is capable of continuing to torment viewers of the doll in approximately 4% of cases. Any sleep the afflicted party gets will be plagued with nightmares. Within 1 to 2 days, the entity will reappear to its target and cause the target, along with any others present in a given location, to fall unconscious. The entity will then feed on the target's neural energy over the course of 3 days, until the victim expires. All others rendered unconscious typically make a full recovery. Although all have reported experiencing nightmares which, despite their cause, are otherwise non anomalous in nature.]
