https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8334/comments/show (renamed to SCP-8334 - The Mirror of Regret, no other edits)
**Item #:** SCP-8334
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8334 is currently housed within a standard containment chamber at Site-77, fitted with temperature controls and continuous environmental monitoring. The object is to remain under surveillance via infrared sensors, as visible-light observation of SCP-8334 has been shown to degrade its anomalous properties (see Addendum 6217-2).
Personnel assigned to SCP-8334 are to undergo a Level 2 memetic resistance screening. All direct experimentation must be approved by Dr. M. Lorenzo and must be conducted remotely via mechanical interface. Under no circumstances are Foundation personnel to engage SCP-8334 in sustained conversation exceeding 45 seconds.
Access to SCP-8334-related logs or audio records is restricted to personnel with 8334/3 clearance or higher.
**Description:** SCP-8334 is an anomalous antique mirror of Italian origin, approximately 1.8 meters in height and framed in tarnished silver with florentine engraving dated to the late 19th century. When viewed in infrared or through indirect imaging (e.g., reflections off non-metallic surfaces), SCP-8334 behaves as a non-anomalous mirror.
However, when observed by a conscious human subject in direct line-of-sight, SCP-8334 exhibits cognitohazardous effects. Subjects report seeing their reflection altered in subtle but progressive ways: unnatural posture, reversed expressions, unfamiliar clothing, and increasingly, non-Euclidean spatial distortions within the reflected environment. Prolonged viewing induces dissociative episodes, temporary aphasia, and persistent feelings of déjà vu.
In approximately 32% of cases, subjects report hearing the mirror "whisper" in their own voice. These auditory events are not detected by external recording equipment and appear to be subject-specific.
**Discovery:** SCP-8334 was recovered in February 2019 from an abandoned estate outside Cortona, Italy, following local reports of “reflected disappearances.” The mirror was found upright in a locked storage room, covered by a heavy velvet cloth. Local police documents show three civilians associated with the estate disappeared under unexplained circumstances between 2017 and 2018.
The property belonged to the late **Giovanni Belluci**, a former professor of experimental physics at the University of Florence. A personal notebook found onsite (see Addendum 6217-3) indicates he had acquired the mirror through an anonymous auction in 2016 and began private study soon after.
**Addendum 8334-1: Interview Log 8334-A**
**Interviewed:** Alessandro Belluci
**Interviewer:** Dr. Emilia Voss
**Date:** 19/02/2019
**Foreword:** Subject is the nephew of Giovanni Belluci and the only known surviving relative. Brought in for questioning under pretense of an estate claim.

**Dr. Voss:** "You stated your uncle Giovanni had grown reclusive?"
**Alessandro:** "Reclusive isn't the word. Obsessive. The mirror... He thought it could 'talk back'. He started leaving notes for it. Speaking Latin into it."
**Dr. Voss:** "Did he mention what he saw in the mirror?"
**Alessandro:** "He said it showed him the moment just before regret. That’s how he put it. ‘It gives you the choice, if you’re fast enough.’"
**Dr. Voss:** "The choice to do what?"
**Alessandro:** (pause) "To change."

**Addendum 8334-2: Experiment Log**
*Subject:* D-9921
*Procedure:* Subject instructed to observe SCP-8334 and describe changes. Observation time restricted to 3 minutes.
**0:00** – Subject reports normal reflection.
**0:45** – Subject notes changes: “My reflection isn’t blinking when I do.”
**1:15** – Reflection begins to smile unnaturally.
**2:00** – Subject gasps. “It’s not me. It’s… Giovanni?”
**2:20** – Reflection turns away independently.
**2:40** – Subject collapses; EKG shows sudden cardiac spike.
**3:00** – Observation terminated.
Post-incident interview revealed subject experienced a vivid memory not belonging to them: a man in an office, holding a bloodstained contract, muttering in Italian: “I see you now, brother.”
**Addendum 8334-3: Recovered Document (Partial Translation)**
> _"It is not a mirror, but a decision frozen in glass.
>
> Every man holds regret like a second face. This mirror does not show you yourself, but the version of you that blinked at the wrong time."_

**Addendum 8334-4: Incident Report 8334-Rho**
On 04/04/2019, SCP-8334 was found displaced within its chamber by exactly 0.87 meters. Surveillance footage displays a continuous timestamp, but the object appears in a new position between frames at 02:03:21 and 02:03:22.
No personnel entered the chamber during this time.
Dr. Voss has requested reclassification to **Keter** status. O5 Response: **Denied pending further data.**

**Item #:** SCP-8975
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8975 is housed in a 4 m × 4 m × 3 m acoustically insulated containment chamber at Site-43. The chamber must remain sealed at all times, and outfitted with dual-layer sound-dampening materials and pressure-sensitive audio monitoring.
All personnel entering the chamber must wear Foundation-standard active noise-canceling headgear and refrain from any vocalization while within range of SCP-8975. Intentional speech in the presence of the object requires prior approval from two Level 4 personnel and must be conducted via remote audio systems under strict observation.
Any individual reporting intrusive thoughts, unfamiliar inner dialogue, or auditory hallucinations after exposure to SCP-8975 is to be isolated and evaluated by Site-43 Cognitive Containment Division.
---
**Description:** SCP-8975 is an unmarked, free-standing wooden lectern of indeterminate age and craftsmanship. Despite superficial signs of wear, material testing has been inconclusive; no definitive species of wood or known lacquer has been identified. The object displays no anomalous physical traits under normal observation.
SCP-8975’s anomalous effects manifest only when a human subject speaks aloud within a radius of six (6) meters. Upon vocalization, subjects report hearing an altered “echo” of their own speech — not audibly, but **internally**, as though the words are being reprocessed inside their own thoughts.
These mental “reflections” frequently differ in tone, emphasis, or meaning from the original speech. In many cases, entire phrases or memories not spoken aloud are inserted into the subject’s internal voice. The phenomenon is not detected by external audio recording devices.
Exposure effects escalate with emotionally charged language — especially expressions of guilt, confession, or unresolved regret. Repeated exposure has resulted in confusion, disassociation, auditory hallucinations, and in severe cases, persistent suicidal ideation.

**Addendum 8975.1 — Discovery**
SCP-8975 was recovered on 12 March 2017 from the catacombs beneath the abandoned St. Erasmus Monastery in Hesse, Germany. The object was found upright in the center of a collapsed chapel space, surrounded by several damaged pews and deteriorated hymnals.
Local urban exploration livestreams showed a participant approaching the lectern and speaking briefly before displaying signs of distress. The individual repeated the phrase “it’s not my voice” before the stream was abruptly terminated.
Foundation agents intercepted the footage within 90 minutes and deployed Mobile Task Force Tau-9 (“Bell Silence”) to secure the site. All civilian participants were located and administered Class-B amnestics.

**Addendum 8975.2 — Test Log Excerpt**
**Subject:** D-9345
**Date:** 17 March 2017
**Procedure:** Subject instructed to read a scripted, emotionally neutral text aloud from a printed card. Subject unaware of SCP-8975's anomalous effects.
---
**[BEGIN LOG]**
**D-9345:** "In accordance with orientation protocol, I am reading this passage—"
*(Subject hesitates.)*
**D-9345:** "Wait. I didn’t say that. What— what is this?"
**Researcher:** "Continue, please. What are you experiencing?"
**D-9345:** "It’s saying… 'She waited for years.' I didn’t say that. I didn’t say anything about my daughter."
**Researcher:** "Describe the voice."
**D-9345:** "It's… it’s mine. But it’s not mine. It’s like someone’s editing what I think. How does it know?"
---
**[END LOG]**
Post-test interview revealed suppressed memories involving D-9345’s estranged daughter, not disclosed in psychological intake. Subject displayed increasing paranoia and requested removal from all further testing. Psychological support was denied per D-Class protocol.
---
**Addendum 8975.3 — Recovered Journal Fragment**
Recovered alongside SCP-8975 in a rusted lockbox, translated from Old High German:
> *“The pulpit does not echo the sermon, but the soul that speaks it. In silence, we remain whole. In confession, we are undone.”*
> — Final entry, Father Albrecht Keller, 1938
---
**Note:** Proposal to reclassify SCP-8975 to **Keter** pending review by Ethics Committee due to correlation between exposure and latent memory reconstruction.
