Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a locked 1m X 0.5m X 0.5m steel lined chest located in Sector-07 of Site-77. SCP-XXXX's holding chest may only be opened by individuals who hold a Level 2 security clearance or higher and have received permission by a senior researcher or project manager. When handling SCP-XXXX, no fewer than two(2) researchers must be present both possessing a syringe containing 100mg of Amphetamine and wearing lead lined eye shields. However, if research does not require physical contact with SCP-XXXX, observation will be done via camera feed to prevent Scenario 1/XXXX . If Scenario 1/XXXX is to occur, the individual under the influence of SCP-XXXX is to be administered 100mg of Amphetamine immediately and then undergo psychological testing.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a white pillow manufactured by Serta that appears to have light usage and a few stains that appear to be sweat. SCP-XXXX was recovered from the ████ residence in Chicago, Illinois. After numerous suicides and gruesome murders were being carried out by family members and close friends of the ████ family the Foundation was asked to investigate. After police investigations were complete of the murders and suicides, it was found that SCP-XXXX contained significant amounts of all perpetrators' and suicide victims' DNA. The pillow was retrieved by Special Agent ███, a buried operative withing the CPD.

All subjects under SCP-XXXX's influence are to be adressed as SCP-XXXX-X. SCP-XXXX's anomalistic properties are seen when a human makes eye contact with SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 will quickly then feel exhausted and have a strong urge to lie down and sleep on SCP-XXXX. Once SCP-XXXX-1 has lied his/her's head on SCP-XXXX, he/she will fall asleep within 2-5 minutes rendering them into a state where SCP-XXXX-1 cannot be woken up by any physical force from a human(i.e. shoving, screaming, smacking). While SCP-XXXX is asleep, he/she will experience nightmares that are unusually terrifying and cause extreme psychological problems for extended periods of time after they wake up. These problems caused by the effects of SCP-XXXX usually make SCP-XXXX-X commit horrendous crimes and/or kill themselves within a short future. Psychological counseling and heavy medication(including all amnesiacs) do not seem to change SCP-XXXX's affects after exposure.

Addendum: After multiple interviews of D-Class personnel who were used during tests with SCP-XXXX, all of them refused to give a description of the nightmares that they experienced claiming that mentioning the visions seen will only make the affect worse. After thorough testing of animals on SCP-XXXX, it can be concluded that SCP-XXXX only has detrimental effects on humans. However, animals with higher intelligence appear to be more affected by SCP-XXXX (see test logs).
