SCP-895, often referred to as the "Camera Disruption," is a subject of intrigue and caution within the SCP Foundation's vast catalog of anomalous objects. Its seemingly innocuous appearance belies its unsettling effects on electronic visual devices. This article delves deep into the mysteries surrounding SCP-895, its properties, and the Foundation's efforts to contain it.
What is SCP-895?
SCP-895 is an ornate oak coffin, which was recovered from the censored Mortuary by SCP personnel. The mortuary staff, when questioned, were unable to determine the source of SCP-895 or how it was transported to their location. The coffin itself is empty, but its true anomalous nature is revealed when electronic visual devices are placed in its vicinity.
Anomalous Properties of SCP-895
-
Camera Interference: Electronic visual devices placed within a certain radius of SCP-895 begin to display disturbing and often violent imagery. The intensity of these disruptions increases with proximity to the coffin.
-
Psychological Impact: The images produced by SCP-895 are not merely disturbing visuals. They can induce severe psychological trauma, leading to distress, paranoia, and even self-harm in some observers.
Containment Procedures
SCP-895 is stored in an isolated underground containment cell, approximately 100 meters deep. A strict "Red Zone" radius of 10 meters has been established around SCP-895, within which no cameras, microphones, or other surveillance equipment may be brought. This measure is in place to prevent the anomalous effects of SCP-895 from affecting electronic equipment and, by extension, the personnel monitoring it.
Incidents and Addendums
During its recovery, SCP personnel experienced firsthand the disturbing effects of SCP-895. Surveillance footage displayed blood on walls, even though the physical environment was clean. The coffin appeared to be moving in the video feed, though it remained stationary in reality. These discrepancies between direct observation and electronic surveillance highlight the potent memetic properties of SCP-895.
Following an incident that resulted in the loss of three personnel, the Red Zone around SCP-895 was extended from 5 meters to 10 meters. Additionally, security personnel shifts were reduced to 4 hours to minimize exposure to the object's effects.
FAQs
1. What kind of imagery does SCP-895 produce?
The exact nature of the imagery varies, but it is consistently disturbing and can range from violent scenes to unsettling abstract visuals.
2. Has anyone tried to open SCP-895?
Yes, during its recovery, SCP personnel attempted to open the coffin. It was found to be empty. However, those viewing the live camera feed during this action experienced [DATA EXPUNGED].
3. Are there any theories about the origin of SCP-895?
The exact origins of SCP-895 remain a mystery. Its ornate design suggests a connection to certain burial practices or rituals, but no concrete evidence has been found.
Conclusion
SCP-895 serves as a testament to the SCP Foundation's commitment to understanding and containing the unknown. Its effects, while confined to electronic surveillance, underscore the unpredictable nature of the anomalies the Foundation deals with. As with many SCP objects, the true nature and purpose of SCP-895 remain enigmatic, but the Foundation's efforts ensure that its effects are kept in check.
