**Item #:** SCP-8128
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8128 is to be housed in a Standard Humanoid Containment Suite at Site-██, modified to resemble an artist’s studio. The chamber must include:
- Canvases (various sizes, replenished weekly).
- Art supplies (paints, brushes, pencils, etc.).
- Easels (at least three, positioned at different angles).
- Soft lighting (to mimic natural studio lighting).
Surveillance cameras are to monitor SCP-8128’s activity 24/7. Any artwork produced by SCP-8128 is to be immediately cataloged and stored in Secure Locker 8128-A. Personnel are prohibited from viewing the artwork without prior approval from Level 3 Personnel.
Testing involving SCP-8128 requires approval from Site Director █████. During testing, at least two (2) armed guards must be present in case of anomalous behavior. Under no circumstances should SCP-8128 be deprived of art supplies, as this has been shown to cause agitation and unpredictable behavior.
**Description:**
SCP-8128, colloquially referred to as "The Phantom Painter," is an invisible, humanoid entity that manifests in spaces containing art supplies. SCP-8128 is capable of manipulating physical objects, particularly art tools, to create highly detailed and emotionally charged paintings.
The entity’s paintings are unique in that they depict scenes from the past, present, or future of individuals who view them. These scenes are often tied to pivotal moments in the viewer’s life, such as:
- Childhood memories.
- Traumatic events.
- Unrealized dreams or aspirations.
The paintings are described as "hauntingly beautiful" and have been known to evoke intense emotional responses, including nostalgia, regret, joy, or fear. In some cases, viewers have reported experiencing vivid hallucinations of the depicted scenes, as if they were reliving the moment.
**Addendum 8128-1: Discovery**
SCP-8128 was first discovered in ████, Italy, in a small art studio owned by Luca Moretti, a local painter. Moretti reported hearing the sound of brushes moving and canvases being painted on, but no one was visible. Over time, he noticed that the paintings being created were eerily familiar, depicting scenes from his own life.
Foundation agents were dispatched after Moretti’s paintings began attracting media attention. The studio was secured, and SCP-8128 was transported to Site-██ for containment. Luca Moretti was administered a Class-B amnestic and released.
**Addendum 8128-2: Behavioral Analysis**
SCP-8128 exhibits a non-hostile demeanor and appears to be driven by an innate desire to create art. The entity does not communicate verbally but has been observed responding to music, particularly classical compositions, by painting more vigorously.
When deprived of art supplies, SCP-8128 becomes agitated, manifesting as:
- Loud, erratic noises (e.g., knocking, scraping).
- Temporary distortions in the surrounding environment (e.g., walls appearing to "bleed" paint).
These effects cease immediately upon the reintroduction of art supplies.
**Addendum 8128-3: Notable Incidents**
**Incident 8128-██:**
During a routine test, Dr. █████ viewed a painting created by SCP-8128. The painting depicted a scene from her childhood, specifically the day her younger brother went missing. Dr. █████ reported feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt and sorrow, despite having no memory of the event. Further investigation revealed that her brother had indeed gone missing, but the memory had been suppressed due to trauma.
**Incident 8128-██:**
A D-Class subject, D-3492, was instructed to view a painting created by SCP-8128. The painting depicted a future event in which D-3492 was shown saving a child from a burning building. Two weeks later, the event occurred exactly as depicted. D-3492 was able to save the child, sustaining minor injuries in the process.
**Addendum 8128-4: Theories and Hypotheses**
**Dr. ██████ (Lead Researcher):**
"I believe SCP-8128 is not merely an artist but a custodian of human experience. Its paintings serve as a mirror, reflecting the deepest emotions and memories of those who view them. Whether this is intentional or simply a byproduct of its nature remains unclear."
**Dr. ███████ (Anomalous Behavior Specialist):**
"There’s something almost... therapeutic about SCP-8128. It forces us to confront parts of ourselves we’d rather forget. But is it helping us, or is it feeding off our emotions? We need to tread carefully."
**Testing Log XXXX:**
**Test 8128-01:**
- **Subject:** D-1287
- **Procedure:** D-1287 was instructed to view a painting created by SCP-8128.
- **Result:** The painting depicted D-1287’s childhood home burning down. D-1287 became visibly distressed and requested to terminate the test.
**Test 8128-02:**
- **Subject:** Dr. █████
- **Procedure:** Dr. █████ viewed a painting depicting a future event.
- **Result:** The painting showed Dr. █████ receiving a promotion. Two months later, the event occurred as depicted.
**Closing Notes:**
SCP-8128 remains one of the most fascinating anomalies in Foundation custody. Its ability to tap into the human psyche and create art that resonates on such a deep level is both awe-inspiring and unsettling. While it poses no direct threat, its potential to unearth buried memories or predict future events makes it a high-priority research subject.
Further testing is required to determine the full extent of SCP-8128’s abilities and its true nature. Until then, all personnel are reminded to approach SCP-8128 with caution and respect.
