Item #: SCP-467
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-467 is currently located at Site ██, and is guarded
by a single security personnel, changed daily.
Although SCP-467 has no true anomalous lasting effects, the information it reveals can leave
people with lasting effects of their own.
While SCP-467 is being studied or moved, all involved personnel must have no cell phones,
pagers, or other communication devices on them without clearance for testing.
Description: SCP-467 appears to be an empty phone booth, and was found in [DATA EXPUNGED].
The SCP Foundation discovered it due to a legend about a 'haunted phone' that used to
reside inside the booth, although testing has revealed that the phone was of no importance,
and the effects came from the booth itself.
Even after the phone was removed, the booth itself remained a place of superstition before
being recovered by [DATA EXPUNGED].
Although there is nothing extraordinary about the booth itself, so long as a human and a
communications device are in the booth at the same time, its effects are easily observed.
Communications devices receive a message from somebody the user knows.
This call shows no preference for friends, family, loved ones, co-workers, or even just
acquaintances.
Curiously enough, later examination of phone records or call logs reveal that this call
never happened, even though it may be observed and recorded.
The 'caller' has never even picked up the phone, in the process, suggesting SCP-467
has a powerful form of telepathy.
These calls divulge information that the user previously did not know, most commonly secrets
and confessions.
These calls range from insignificant to life-changing (see addendum).
A single user may use the phone booth more than once, provided that at least twenty-four
hours have passed since their last use.
It is suggested that the booth not be used for personal reasons.
Addendum: A collection of some of the more notable results has been collected, and is
still being formed.

Incident Report - ██/██/██ Near holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas,
a notable increase in disturbing or distressing calls has been observed.
Theory currently holds that this is due to increased family tension and urges to be 'nice'
to people at this point in time.
Additionally, it was during the holiday season that the first two reported incidents occured
of occupant inside SCP-467 receiving a call from themselves, and other reported incidents
of an occupant receiving a call from the deceased or non-existent.
Further investigation pending on how personnel could 'lie' to themselves, and how SCP-467
receives calls from non-existing sources.
