**Item #:** SCP-8084
**Object Class:** Euclid
[[f>image https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/Mirror.jpg]]
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8084 is to be housed in a standard 4m x 4m x 3m containment chamber at Site-54. Personnel are prohibited from entering the containment area of SCP-8084-1 for more than 15 minutes at a time, without authorisation from Lead tester on duty.
Personnel showing signs of paranoia or distress after exposure are to be temporarily reassigned and given psychological support following an interview.
**Recovery Log:** SCP-8084 was recovered from a small antiques shop in ███████, England, after a series of reports from Foundation operatives regarding the shop's owner, Mr. █████ Grayson. Family members claimed Mr. Grayson had become increasingly withdrawn, refusing to sell the mirror and obsessively polishing it every day. Concerned family members noted he would often sit in front of SCP-8084 for hours, insisting that his reflection was "keeping an eye on something" that no one else could see.
Foundation agents were alerted following Mr. Grayson’s sudden disappearance. Upon inspection of the shop, agents discovered SCP-8084 in a back room, positioned before a wooden chair - the chair was in the middle of the narrow antique shop and seemed out of place. Mr. Grayson was never found, though CCTV footage indicated movement towards the back of the shop. There were no signs of struggle or further evidence. Mr Grayson's only car remained parked outside the shop.
UK police are treating the disappearance as an active missing persons case, with suspected cause dementia.
SCP-8084 was transported to Site-54 for containment without incident. No residual effects were noted in the shop or among the local population after its removal.
**Storage Location:** SCP-8084 is currently stored in a medium-security containment unit at Site-54, Section C. The containment chamber is monitored via remote cameras. There are mandatory psychological evaluations for those exposed for longer than 60 minutes regardless of the presence of symptoms. Any personnel reporting perceptual discrepancies or anomalous visual experiences during interactions with SCP-8084 are to be temporarily reassigned and interviewed.
**Description:** SCP-8084 is an antique rectangular mirror, 0.7 meters in height and 0.5 meters in width, encased in an intricately carved mahogany frame. Despite its age, SCP-8084’s reflective surface remains pristine, showing no deterioration or discoloration.
The primary anomalous properties of SCP-8084 manifest when a subject observes their reflection for an extended period of time, varying significantly per individual. Initially, subjects report no significant changes, only the odd sensation that their reflection is not entirely synchronous with their own movements - 45% of test subjects report this within 5 minutes, and 90% within 15 minutes. These reports include:
Slight Delays: Subjects occasionally perceive a brief but noticeable lag between their movements and their reflection’s, though this delay is subtle and inconsistent.
Unfocused Gaze: Some subjects mention that their reflection’s eyes appear to focus elsewhere in the room, either glancing very slightly in a different direction, or to the extreme corner of the eye as if looking at something behind or beyond the subject.
The longer a subject observes themselves, the more pronounced these subtle discrepancies become, though they never escalate to the point of overt disconnection from the reflection. Observers, via external cameras, report seeing no abnormal behavior in the reflection, suggesting that these perceptual anomalies are confined to the subject alone.
Though some subjects express discomfort or paranoia after extended exposure, this reaction appears to be a reasonable response to SCP-8084’s subtle, unsettling effects. Psychological evaluations reveal no permanent damage, though continued exposure is discouraged due to the potential cumulative effect on mental health.
**Interview Log 8084-01:**
Interviewed: D-9831
Interviewer: Dr. Elena █████
Date: ██/██/20██
<Begin Log>
Dr. Elena: Please describe your experience with SCP-8084.
D-9831: It’s a mirror. Just… a mirror. But after a while, something felt off. Like I was still me, but the reflection—it wasn’t keeping up exactly.
Dr. Elena: How do you mean?
D-9831: It’s hard to explain. When I blinked, it blinked, but a fraction of a second too late. Little things, y’know? I moved, and I thought it was copying me, but then I realized—it wasn’t really copying. It was more like it was waiting. It would move just after I did, almost like it had to think about it.
Dr. Elena: Did you notice anything else?
D-9831: (pauses) The eyes. My eyes. They weren’t looking at me. Not all the time, anyway. Sometimes I’d look straight at it, and it’d just… glance off to the side, like it saw something behind me. But there’s nothing there, right?
Dr. Elena: And no one else saw these changes?
D-9831: No. I asked one of the guards—they said everything looked fine from their angle. But I know what I saw.

**Interview Log 8084-05:**
Interviewed: D-7422
Interviewer: Dr. Elena █████
Date: ██/██/20██
<Begin Log>
Dr. Elena: Can you explain what you experienced during your observation of SCP-8084?
D-7422: At first, it was normal. Just me looking back. But the more I watched, the stranger it felt. Like my reflection was trying to… anticipate what I’d do. Like when I thought about scratching my head, it was already starting to move.
Dr. Elena: Did you actually scratch your head?
D-7422: Yeah, but it was weird. I thought about doing it, and I swear it started to move before I did. But maybe I’m just imagining it.
Dr. Elena: Did you notice anything else? Perhaps about its eyes?
D-7422: Yeah… (pauses) Sometimes, it wasn’t looking directly at me. It would sort of shift its gaze, like it was checking something behind me. Just for a second, though. It’d go back to normal real fast, but it made me feel like… I don’t know, like something else was there.
Dr. Elena: You didn’t turn around?
D-7422: No. I didn’t want to. It was subtle, but enough to make me uneasy.

**Interview Log 8084-09:**
Interviewed: D-11034
Interviewer: Dr. Elena █████
Date: ██/██/20██
<Begin Log>
Dr. Elena: You were exposed to SCP-8084 for 12 minutes. Can you describe your experience?
D-11034: At first, it felt like any other mirror. I checked myself out, adjusted my posture a bit. But then… I don’t know. The longer I stared, the more it felt like my reflection was doing things just a little differently. Like, it wasn’t matching me exactly.
Dr. Elena: Can you elaborate?
D-11034: It’s hard to explain. Like, when I turned my head, I saw the reflection’s eyes dart off for a split second, like it was looking behind me. I didn’t see anything, but it felt like it did. I kept checking in the reflection, but there was nothing back there. Still… it was watching something, I’m sure of it.
Dr. Elena: Did you turn around yourself?
D-11034: No. I didn’t feel right. It was such a small thing, but it made me uneasy. I don’t know what it saw… but it wasn’t me.

**Conclusion:** SCP-8084's effects on subjects are subtle, involving small discrepancies in movement and gaze that only the affected individual perceives. While prolonged exposure can result in discomfort and paranoia, the primary anomaly appears to lie in the suggestion of something unseen but present in the reflection. SCP-8084’s influence remains limited to these perceptual disturbances, which, while psychologically unsettling, pose no obvious direct physical threat to personnel; despite this, due to the still unexplained disappearance of Mr. █████ █████ further testing is needed before lowering to safe classification.
It is possible that the only effect exuded by SCP-8084 is a psychological induction of paranoia, the test team is open to suggestions on how to validate this theory.
Further research is ongoing to determine the nature of SCP-8084's anomalies and whether the perceived discrepancies are related to external phenomena or are solely a product of altered perception or induction of paranoia.

I think it is so sad that you degrade the quality of the site despite not even being given a request to remove photos. Unless there is a request to remove, it should be assumed that it is Creative Commons.
It's just a photo…

Congratulations, you've taken away from the side for no good reason whatsoever. Hope you're proud of yourself
