ShadowCircuit (account age and site membership 21 days) recently posted the following concept thread, edited from an earlier version: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17004091/seeking-greenlights-the-bearded-man-with-audio-interview
**Seeking Greenlights:** Yes
**Page Type:** SCP Article
**Genre (Optional):** Horror, Drama/Emotional
**Page Layout (Optional):** The article is structured traditionally, with the **Special Containment Procedures** first, followed by a detailed **Description** of the entity and its anomalous effects. The **Addenda** will be used to describe the initial encounter, police logs, ongoing experiments, and efforts to investigate its origins. This structure allows to progressively reveal more about SCP-8760’s nature and the consequences of interaction with it. The inclusion of interview logs and experimental results will add depth and realism, immersing the reader into the unfolding mystery.
**Elevator Pitch:** SCP-8760 is a humanoid male with an anomalous beard that causes rapid asphyxiation upon contact. Those who die from this effect reanimate as zombified duplicates of the entity, showing no signs of independent thought. The entity is shrouded in mystery, with attempts to discover its origin and purpose failing thus far. Its anomalous behavior and potential danger are contained by the Foundation, though further research into its composition and effects is ongoing.
**Central Narrative:** The article centers around SCP-8760’s dangerous and mysterious nature. It explores how an innocent interaction with the entity leads to violent death and reanimation, forming an army of mindless, beard-controlled duplicates. Alongside detailing the containment protocols and experimental efforts, the article delves into the psychological toll on those who encounter it, especially the victim of the first encounter, whose girlfriend’s transformation leaves him emotionally devastated. The article also hints at the entity's origins and potential connections to anomalous forces far beyond the initial scope.
**Hook/Attention-Grabber (Optional):** SCP-8760's ability to transform its victims into obedient, undead duplicates creates a terrifying and unpredictable situation for anyone who comes into contact with it. The bizarre and terrifying nature of its beard, as well as the emotional and psychological consequences of its victims' transformations, make it stand out as an SCP that is both disturbing and mysterious. The ongoing mystery surrounding its origin, along with the chilling description of its deadly effects, leaves readers intrigued by what SCP-8760 represents and how it came to be.
**Additional Notes (Optional):** The story might require refinement in terms of pacing, especially when detailing the encounters and interviews. Feedback on the emotional impact of the victim’s story, and how the experimentation feels within the context of SCP lore, would be particularly helpful. The goal is to balance the horror with the mystery, while keeping the reader engaged through both descriptive narrative and scientific exploration.

Compare with the first version of the post from 10 days ago:
Elevator Pitch: Bearded man anomaly. When you touch its beard it will crawl to your mouth and choke you to death
Central Narrative: It's a story of a couple that found this SCP, audio recording of the interview after the incident, scientists performing a bunch of experiments to try to understand where this thing came from
Hook/Attention-Grabber: Probably an audio recording that I did with my friends. I think we did a pretty good job
