Special Containment Procedures: All standard external sources (i.e. local news media, law enforcement reports, online web traffic, etc.) are to be routinely monitored for evidence of SCPX manifestation events. Local embedded agents. are to push for increased public video monitoring of public areas within the anomaly’s known area of effect.1 Local agents and nearby Site-207 administration are also to proactively encourage the increased usage and presence of accessible security cameras in public spaces within and immediately surrounding the known region of effect.

While typical civilian encounters do not represent any likely threat to Foundation goals of secrecy and public awareness, as they can usually reasonably be chalked up to grief, delusion, and/or ‘spiritual encounter’ of the sort nonetheless believed in by much of the populace with little actual consequence to the broader Veil and without the need of Foundation intervention, amnestics and/or small-scale disinformation tactics may be used on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of SCPX containment staff as deemed necessary.

Description: SCPX collectively designates any instance of entities appearing to individuals within the anomaly’s region of effect. Instances of SCPX specifically manifest as illusory depictions of one of a target individual’s missing or deceased loved ones,2 usually appearing as if floating slightly above the ground a short distance away from the targeted individual. They often communicate to the witness as those lost loved ones, almost universally in an affectionate and emotional manner and in ways that demonstrate intimate knowledge of the target's personal background and history.

This recurring phenomenon primarily occurs with subjects who are found in open and non-crowded spaces, but who are nonetheless alone at the time. Should additional individuals come within range of perceiving the anomaly, it will instantaneously demanifest, often to the distress of the individuals with whom it was interacting. While this almost universally leads to great distress on the persons to whom SCPx instances initially appear, it appears to remain within expected ranges of psychological effect for individuals who believe they have experienced encounters with loved ones after their passing.3


Addendum: Log of Encounters

The following is a representative sample of incident summaries from documented events linked to the SCPX phenomenon.

Subject: RJ Fischer (age 32)
Location: Just outside an interstate rest area.
Description of Encounter: SCPX instance appeared as subject's recently deceased wife, who expressed joy and affection at seeing him again.
Demanifestation: Fischer stated that he soon went towards her for an embrace and a kiss, and briefly closed his eyes in doing so. He did not feel here where he expected too, and found his 'wife' was no longer present.
Additional Notes: Another traveler who happened to exit the restroom around the same moment noted that he saw Fischer appear to stumble while swinging his arms forward, then express extreme distress before frantically asking the traveler if she'd seen a beautiful woman moments prior (they confirmed that they did not).

Subject: Catherine Anderson (age 61)
Location: Parking lot of the office building where she works.
Description of Encounter: SCPX Instance appeared as the subject's recently departed mother. Subject stated that the apparition asked why she’d been “left to rot in a third-rate nursing home”, only to appear to forgive Anderson after an emotional apology and invite her ‘daughter’ in for “one last hug.”
Demanifestation: Per subject, the instance disappeared just after this request, with Anderson describing her mother suddenly disappearing in the headlight of a vehicle entering the lot.
Additional Notes:The vehicle turned out to be a coworker returning to the office to search for their lost wallet; they confirmed upon questioning not to have seen the entity described by Anderson.

Subject: Boris Carter (age 57)
Location: Local park amidst one of Carter’s habitual early morning jogs.
Description of Encounter: Subject asserts that as they rounded a corner on the track, his long-missing son Michael. During a brief ensuing conversation, the elder Carter recounted that his ‘son’ explained that he had been kidnapped, but only just escaped and made his way back home.
Demanifestation: Subject claims that 'Michael’ interrupted himself mid-sentence and ran into nearby woods upon the approach of another jogger. Though Boris Carter ran after to search for his son, he eventually gave up upon seeing the same jogger again a few minutes later. Carter then began a physical altercation under the mistaken assumption that the man must have been who ‘Michael’ had been fleeing from, and thus a participant in his purported kidnapping.
Additional Notes: The instance resembling Carter’s lost son looked “just like [he] remembered him,” despite the fact that Michael Carter disappeared at age 15 but would have been 22 by the time of the associated SCPX manifestation. The real Michael Carter’s disappearance remains unsolved.

Subject: Tommy Bojanic (age 11)
Location: The front yard of the small apartment complex where Tommy and his family reside
Description of Encounter: Per his mother, who was inside at the time watching television, Tommy was playing outside in the front yard when he loudly shouted "Balto!" (the name of their recently lost pet dog).
Demanifestation: By the time Ms. Bojanic got up and made her way to the front door, however, she heard her son yell and found the yard empty.
Additional Notes: Ms. Bojanic also noted that her child's yell seemed to come from somewhere above before quickly dissipating, though has little idea as to what this means, if anything. Tommy Bojanic remains missing at this time.


Update - Employee Incident Report:

On October 27, 2022, Level 1 internal security agent Laura Canton at Site-207 near Pensacola, FL reported a suspected SCPX instance. The agent, who had been selected for their current role within the department of cognitohazards for their uniquely high natural Cognitive Resilience Index score4 reported encountering "some kind of apparition trying to imitate [her] estranged father" at a local rest area whilst the agent was traveling back to her assigned site from a short vacation, with the specter appearing to periodically shift between a likeness of her father and one of "some sort of butchered or burnt hanging corpse". The now-suspected SCPX instance soon "quickly and suddenly flew into the sky," though not before the agent was able to capture a single photograph:

The anomaly has since been linked to potentially hundreds of recent disappearances in the area. Full file update is pending following completion of full administrative review and potential approval of requested reclassification to Keter.
