Description: SCP-2316 is the designation for an anomalous phenomenon existing within Lake
███████████ within ████████ County, ███████. SCP-2316 manifests
as a group of human corpses floating in a small group at the surface of the water.
The identities of these corpses are [COGNITOHAZARD REMOVED] [Automated Change: UNKNOWN], though
DNA testing has been inconclusive.
While SCP-2316 appears to be individual instances, it is theorized that SCP-2316 may instead
be an entity composed of a collective consciousness.
Individual instances of SCP-2316 do not act on their own, but do seem to be able to act
collectively as a single unit.
The individual instances of SCP-2316 are unrecognizable, and you do not recognize the bodies in the
water.
SCP-2316 hosts a powerful cognitohazardous effect, causing those who have viewed SCP-2316,
are aware of certain parts of its nature, or who were enrolled in the [COGNITOHAZARD
REMOVED] [Automated Message: INVALID] to believe that the individuals instances of SCP-2316
are human beings they recognize, typically from their childhood.
Attempting to come into contact with SCP-2316 instances, by way of entering Lake ███████████ or
touching an instance of SCP-2316, will cause other instances of SCP-2316 to appear.
You do not recognize the bodies in the water.
The additional instances only serve to reinforce and add to the strength of the cognitohazard,
compelling affected individuals into the lake.
Individuals who enter the lake in this way are lost, and to date none have been recovered.

Go back to the lake, go into the water, look into their eyes.
It's your friends, your classmates.
You took the trip to the lake in the fall of '75, together, when you were young.
Don't you remember?
Look into their eyes.
I know you can hear them talking to you, just like they talked to me.
Don't let them tell you it's just a cognitohazard.
This was their fault, they caused this.
We were all innocent kids, don't you remember?
And you just got away, you and I?
The rest of them are at the bottom of that lake, waiting for us to go back to them and
be whole together again.
They want us to know.
They want us to remember.
Wake up, goddammit.
Remember the fall of '75.
The year we were supposed to graduate.
Don't let them make you forget.
They're calling to you, can't you hear them?
Can't you hear them?
Look into their eyes.

I know you can.
