A 2-meter-high fence surrounds SCP-8229’s location, with security cameras and motion sensors monitoring for unauthorized access. Personnel are to maintain the surrounding field to prevent overgrowth from concealing SCP-8229. No physical alterations or attempts to relocate SCP-8229 are permitted without authorization from Site Command. Testing requires Level 3 clearance and is to be conducted with remote observation whenever possible.
Description: SCP-8229 is a circular wooden gazebo, approximately 4 meters in diameter, painted in a faded rainbow colour scheme. It has been noted that the colours seem to gradually shift and move, suggesting that the paint is also anomalous in nature.
When a subject enters SCP-8229, they experience a shift in surroundings to an area consisting of sensory stimuli deeply associated with personal nostalgia. These experiences are unique to each subject and often include auditory, olfactory, tactile, and visual hallucinations of places, objects, and sensations linked to childhood memories or moments of comfort. Common reports include the sight of childhood neighbourhoods, the taste and smell of weekend barbecues, and the "smell of rain" as described by many subjects. Subjects frequently describe a profound sense of relief comparable to returning home after a long, exhausting day.
External recording equipment does not capture any anomalous phenomena within SCP-8229. Cameras and sensors placed inside the gazebo display only its normal structure and the surrounding field. Observers stationed outside SCP-8229 report seeing subjects react as though interacting with objects or individuals not present, often moving their hands or adjusting posture as if touching unseen structures. Despite this, no external indication of these hallucinations manifests in reality.
Subjects may leave SCP-8229 while still under its effects, but the anomalous experience ceases entirely upon moving approximately 20 meters away. This transition is often reported as abrupt and disorienting.
Addendum SCP-8229-1: Test Log Researcher Dr. Holloway conducted an interview with D-8823, a 36-year-old male with no prior knowledge of SCP-8229’s properties. D-8823 was instructed to enter SCP-8229 and describe his experiences in real-time via radio communication.
Dr. Holloway: Proceed into the gazebo and describe what you see.
D-8823: Okay, stepping in…huh. Yeah, I see something. This is weird. It’s like- it’s my old street? I think. But it’s off, like a dream version. Some of the houses look how I remember, but I can’t read any of the numbers. They’re just…wrong.
Dr. Holloway: Can you describe any scents or sounds?
D-8823: Yeah. The smell of rain. And something else. I don’t know what it is, but I know it. It’s really familiar. Like…I wanna say my grandma’s house, but I can’t place it exactly.
Dr. Holloway: Try interacting with your surroundings. Touch something.
D-8823: Alright. Reaching out to a mailbox- yeah, I can feel it. It’s real, but kinda fuzzy, if that makes sense? Like my brain knows it’s here, so it’s filling in the gaps. Wait…I hear something now. Like kids playing, but there’s nobody here.
Dr. Holloway: Proceed cautiously. If at any point you feel distressed, you may exit SCP-8229.
D-8823: No, I’m good. This is nice, actually. I- D-8823 abruptly stopped speaking and turned his head as if hearing something behind him.
D-8823: I think I just saw someone move inside my house. I don’t know why, but I don’t wanna go in there. I think I should go.
Dr. Holloway: Understood. Please exit SCP-8229.
Upon leaving the gazebo, D-8823 appeared momentarily confused and reported feeling as though he had been “somewhere else” despite being able to see the exterior surroundings the entire time.
Addendum SCP-8229-2: Incident Report During a follow-up test, D-9921, a 39 year old female, was sent into SCP-8229 for a similar observational procedure. Initial descriptions were consistent with prior reports, describing a reconstructed version of her childhood neighbourhood, where D-9921 shared memories of childhood nightmares and overall bad childhood experiences. Approximately six minutes into the test, D-9921 began exhibiting signs of distress.
D-9921: Something’s wrong. I- something touched me.
Dr. Holloway: Clarify. Are you seeing another person?
D-9921: No, but I- oh shit, oh shit, I just got cut. I felt something slice my side.
Dr. Holloway: You’re injured? Exit immediately.
D-9921 staggered toward the exit of SCP-8229 but collapsed before reaching the perimeter. Medical personnel recovered the subject and confirmed lacerations along her torso. While the injuries were not immediately life- threatening, D-9921 expired within minutes due to rapid blood loss. Autopsy reports noted an absence of expected hemorrhaging patterns, leading to speculation of an anomalous cause of death.
Addendum SCP-8229-2.1: Post Test More tests are to be executed to determine whether specific factors such as age, state of mind, gender, or upbringing link to the manifestation of the entity (now designated SCP-8229-A) that killed D-9921. Further testing is required to learn about SCP-8229-A's appearance, intelligence, strength and behaviour. Some possible ideas for tests involve sending two or more subjects inside of SCP-8229 at the same time to observe if SCP-8229-A can manifest inside of each subject's visions simultaneously, which would either imply that there are multiple instances, or that SCP-8229-A is a being that can travel between the minds of each subject that is under the anomalous affects of SCP-8229.
Addendum SCP-8229-3: Transcript of Discussion Between Dr. ██████ and Dr. Mercer Dr. ██████: So, what do we know so far? SCP-8229 presents hallucinations- except they aren't just hallucinations anymore. We have an entity now.
Dr. Mercer: We don't know that yet. It could still be part of the psychological effect, an exaggerated projection from the subject's memories.
Dr. ██████: Mercer, we both saw what happened to D-9921. She bled out from wounds that weren’t deep enough to kill her. That isn’t psychological.
Dr. Mercer: Alright, fair enough. But we don’t know what "it" is. One-time occurrence? Singular entity? A collective hallucination? Something that moves between subjects?
Dr. ██████: If it is a singular entity, then it means this thing has some form of intelligence. If there are multiple, then we have an ecosystem of them in there. If it’s just a projection- Dr. Holloway is cut off by Dr. Mercer Dr. Mercer: -Then why-…how did she die?
Dr. ██████: Exactly. I want to propose a new test. We send multiple D- Class in at once. If they see the same entity at the same time, we know it’s real. If they don’t, it’s either unique to each person or capable of moving between them.
Dr. Mercer: You realize how dangerous that could be? We can’t even record what’s happening in there. We could be sending them into a slaughterhouse blind.
Dr. ██████: Dr. Mercer! This is the SCP Foundation, for crying out loud!
Almost every damn SCP in this place is dangerous in some way shape or form, and that's the exact reason why we have D-Class. Disposable. If we can establish its nature, we can figure out if it can be neutralized. Maybe even destroyed.
Dr. Mercer: If it can be destroyed.
Dr. ██████: We have to try.
Dr. Mercer: I have a better idea. We need to test if physical damage can affect this "entity".
Dr. ██████: Very well then, I will prepare a D-Class. What exactly do you have in mind? You aren't telling me that- Dr. Mercer: I know, it sounds insane.
Dr. ██████: It is fucking insane!
Dr. Mercer: But, if we can find a way for the Class-D's to defend themselves against these things, it will make your proposal a lot easier. Just trust me on this, please!
Dr. ██████: Fine. Go grab a D-Class.
Addendum SCP-8229-4: Test Log SCP-8229-T3 Objective: Determine if SCP-8229-A is affected by emotional states of the subject and if physical force can neutralize it.
Procedure: D-10021, a 41-year-old male with a history of childhood trauma, was equipped with a standard-issue firearm. He was instructed to enter SCP-8229 and focus on memories of fear and distress.
[BEGIN LOG] D-10021: Alright, I’m in. Damn, it’s my old place. Haven’t seen this shithole in twenty-five years. It’s exactly how I remember. Even the cracks in the walls.
Dr. ██████: Describe your surroundings.
D-10021: Smells like mildew. And old carpet. This is- this is wrong. I don't wanna be here.
Dr. ██████: Stay focused. Do you see anyone else?
D-10021: No. But I can hear yelling. My dad’s voice. I think he’s upstairs.
Dr. ██████: Proceed with caution.
D-10021: Shuffling noises can be heard. Okay, wait. I see something. Holy shit! No, no, no, it’s looking at me.
Dr. ██████: What is? Describe to me what you're seeing.
D-10021: It’s not my dad. It’s something else. Tall. Skin has a pink hue, looks stretched thin. Face is…off, like it’s trying to look human, but it’s failing. I- Sudden movement is heard.
D-10021: Fuck off!
Dr. ██████: Engage if necessary!
Gunshots ring out as bullets are sent in the direction of a nearby wall that makes up the surrounding barrier of SCP-8229's containment zone. D-10021 is heard shouting, and a loud screech is picked up.
D-10021: You don’t own me anymore!
Silence follows.
D-10021: Hah… hah… it’s gone. The house- my house- changed. It’s… different now. Nicer. Brighter. I think- I think I did it.
Dr. ██████: Maintain position. Can you give details on the changes in your environment?
D-10021 abruptly ceases speaking. Audio feed remains active but picks up no further noise.
Dr. ██████: D-10021, are you still with me?
After three minutes, SCP-8229’s anomalous effect ceases, and D-10021 is found collapsed within the gazebo. Medical evaluation confirms sudden cardiac arrest, with no preceding physical trauma. Autopsy reveals no physiological cause of death beyond standard heart failure.
Note from Dr. Pulman: The sudden cardiac arrest could be anomalous judging by what happened to D-9921, but further testing is still required to figure out how the hell these people are dying. Also, who's idea was it to give a D-Class a fucking firearm in the middle of a field whilst hallucinating; with foundation researches on-site, might I add? I'll get that prick demoted.
Addendum-SCP-8229-5: Autopsy Report ██████ Autopsy Report: Dr. ██████ Date: ██/██/20██ Deceased: Dr. ██████ Location of Death: Dr.██████'s Office, SCP-8229 Containment Site Time of Death: 06:12 PM Cause of Death: Likely Anomalous Summary: Dr. ██████ was found deceased in his office approximately three hours after the conclusion of Test SCP-8229-T3. Security footage shows no unauthorized entry or disturbances prior to discovery. His body was found seated at his desk, head resting on one arm, with no immediate signs of trauma. Initial assessment suggested sudden cardiac arrest, though Dr.
██████ had no prior medical history indicating susceptibility to heart failure.
Despite an extensive search of the facility, no signs of SCP-8229-A or related phenomena have been detected. Motion sensors, thermal imaging, and additional security measures have yielded no further anomalies.
Addendum-SCP-8229-6: Following this Autopsy Report, the Site Director has decided that all testing of SCP-8229 is to remain indefinitely suspended. Additional containment protocols are under review.
