Item #: SCP-895
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-895 is sealed closed and stored in an isolated underground
containment cell at a depth of approximately 100 meters.
No cameras, microphones, or other surveillance equipment may be brought within the 10 meter
"Red Zone" radius of SCP-895 without express permission from at least two (2) Level 3 personnel.
Any on-site personnel exhibiting unusual behavior or signs of psychological trauma are to be
screened immediately, and removed from the site or terminated as the situation warrants.
Description: SCP-895 is an ornate oak coffin recovered from the █████ █████ Mortuary
by SCP personnel on ██/█/██, following reports of unusual footage captured by surveillance
equipment installed at that location.
When questioned, mortuary staff were unable to determine the source of SCP-895 and how
it was transported to the location.
Upon attempting to open SCP-895, agents on location found the object empty; however,
observers viewing the live camera feed were [DATA EXPUNGED].
Until further notice, SCP-895 must remain closed at all times.
SCP-895 causes disruptions in video and photographic surveillance equipment within 50 meters similar
to vivid, disturbing hallucinations with variable duration and regularity corresponding to the
camera's proximity to SCP-895.
Within a range of 5 meters from SCP-895, footage captured can cause severe psychological trauma
and hysteria in most subjects.
These disruptions do not extend to observers physically present within the area.
