Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the relatively large population within the area of effect, civilians cannot be feasibly evacuated from the area. To prevent SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties from taking effect, a cognitohazard has been spread within the population of SCP-XXXX which prevents any person from properly imitating a canine howl. All coyotes within or near SCP-XXXX have been moved to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve to prevent further manifestations of SCP-XXXX's effects.

In the case of a manifestation of SCP-XXXX's effects, all items placed on the front desk of the Mohave County Sheriff Department are to be confiscated immediately. If significant injuries occur to the subject which caused the manifestation, they are to be immediately taken to the on-site hospital of Site-473. All observers of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties, including subjects affected, are to be administered Class-A amnestics immediately after the manifestation.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an area of land measuring approximately 115 square kilometres located in northwestern Arizona. The towns of Kingman, Hilltop, and New Kingman-Butler are entirely encompassed by this area. SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects manifest when a canine howl, or any sound replicating or imitating a canine howl, is produced within the area of effect. Recordings are not affected by this anomaly. Immediately after this sound is produced, the subject which produced it will move towards the Mohave County Sheriff Department. The subject will then wait until the building is unoccupied, if it is not already unoccupied, and then enter.

After the subject has entered the building, attempts at entry by any other entities will be met by failure, apparently due to all entrances apparently being jammed or locked. This effect ends once the subject exits the building. Due to the layout of the building, the subject cannot be seen during the period of SCP-XXXX's effects, though the following information is known about the outcome of the anomaly:

The subject will, in some way, lose possessions currently on their person with a total estimated value around $350. These possessions can include portions of the subject's body.

The objects lost will be placed onto the front desk of the Mohave County Sheriff Department.

Approximately one day after the manifestation of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties, the objects will demanifest, and an anonymous donation of $350 will be given to the Mohave County Sheriff Department.

+ Test Log XXXX-01 - Test Log XXXX-01 The following test were conducted using SCP-XXXX. Researcher: Researcher Ochoa

Subject: Personal computer, Dell Inspiron 15 5000

Description: A recording of a wolf howling was played using the personal computer. No effects were observed. Researcher: Researcher Ochoa

Subject: Researcher Ochoa

Description: Researcher Ochoa referred to a canine howl as "awoo" during a conversation with Dr. Volkov. Following this, he immediately began walking towards the Mohave County Sheriff Department under the effects of SCP-XXXX. After a three-minute period within the building, he exited. Researcher Ochoa's badge and a small amount of fabric, apparently from the left shoulder of his uniform, were found on the front desk. Researcher: Dr. Lowell

Subject: One grey wolf (Canis lupus)

Description: Three minutes after the grey wolf was placed within SCP-XXXX, it howled. It walked a short distance and stood on its hind legs, using its right forepaw to manipulate the door handle. Despite the fact that the door to the building opens outwards, the grey wolf was able to open the door, and entered. After a six-minute period, it exited. A significant portion of its skin, with fur attached, was found on the front desk of the building. The grey wolf expired shortly after this test due to complications resulting from it. Researcher: Dr. Lowell

Subject: D-43847

Description: D-43847 was told to imitate a canine howl. D-43847 complied. A period of four minutes passed between his entry and exit of the building. After this period, D-43847 walked northeast, claiming to be heading towards Kingman Regional Medical Center. He expired shortly after a period of 17 minutes. D-43847's right arm was found on the front desk. Analysis determined that one of D-43847's arms would have a value of around $350 on the black market. Researcher: Dr. Lowell

Subject: One Pacific parrotlet (Forpus coelestis), bought for $350

Description: The Pacific parrotlet had been previously taught how to imitate a canine howl. After being instructed to do so, it successfully imitated the sound to the degree required to manifest SCP-XXXX's effects. It immediately began flying. After reaching its destination, it perched itself on the door handle. Through an unknown means, the parrotlet was able to open the door and enter. Although it was never seen exiting the building, the door became openable after a period of thirty-six minutes. The parrotlet was found on the front desk entirely unchanged.
