A photo of SCP-3XXX

Item #: SCP-3XXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Any person made aware of SCP-3XXX is to be told that SCP-3XXX is not able to leave the room, due to the risk of SCP-3XXX manifesting outside containment. Any person not initially aware of SCP-3XXX's secondary anomalous effect is to be given class C amnesiacs following the conclusion of testing.

Description: SCP-3XXX appears to be a non-anomalous human male, approximately 2-25 years of age which identifies itself only as 'Jeff'. SCP-3XXX's primary anomalous effect makes more specific information impossible to accurately record.

SCP-3XXX has shown to be reasonably cooperative with containment procedures, refusing only to perform tasks which could interfere with it's primary anomalous effect.

Although sapient subjects can interact normally with SCP-3XXX - verbally, through touch, or other direct sensory means - no method of capturing or recording any properties of SCP-3XXX function.

SCP-3XXX does not appear on pictures or video (see attached image), does not register as having a temperature differing from that of the room he is in, and does not appear to possess mass. It was initially proposed that SCP-3XXX may be nothing more than a cognitohazard affecting individuals made aware of it's existence, but this is clearly false.

Addendum: It has been demonstrated that subjects exposed to SCP-3XXX for the first time only after they are told the anomaly is a cognitohazard cannot perceive it. It is likely that SCP-3XXX is in fact a cognitohazard which causes exposed individuals to experience a shared hallucination of a human male, and to believe the being physically exists despite any contrary evidence.

Individuals shown evidence of SCP-3XXX's true nature after exposure tend to begin to act erratic, or even violent when confronted.

Researchers assigned to SCP-3XXX prior to this discovery have been given class C amnesiacs and reassigned.

Tests involving SCP-3XXX are to be recorded below.

Test A - Date

Subject: 2 D-class personnel

Procedure: SCP-3XXX told converse with the subjects.

Results: Subjects seen speaking to SCP-3XXX. Cameras show only the subjects speaking to each other, alternating between using normal speaking voices, and using a mocking tone to speak as SCP-3XXX.

Analysis: SCP-3XXX does not exist SCP-3XXX can bend observer's perceptions of surrounding people.

Test B - Date

Subject: 1 Red apple, 2 D-class personnel

Procedure: SCP-3XXX told to hold the apple

Results: D-class personnel in the testing area report SCP-3XXX being given, then holding the apple. Cameras show the apple being neatly placed on the ground where SCP-3XXX reported was to be standing.

Analysis: SCP-3XXX does not exist SCP-3XXX can bend observer's perceptions of the environment

Test C - Date
