SCP-8951- "The Howling Reflection"
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8951 is to be contained in a reinforced, soundproofed chamber at Site-██. No reflective surfaces are permitted within a 30-meter radius of its containment area. Personnel must not make direct eye contact with SCP-8951's reflection under any circumstances. Any mirrors, glass, or polished surfaces that manifest SCP-8951 must be reported and destroyed immediately.
Description:
SCP-8951 is a humanoid entity standing approximately 2.3 meters tall, with elongated limbs and a distorted, almost fluid-like skeletal structure. Its skin is semi-translucent, with blackened veins pulsating beneath the surface. SCP-8951 has no facial features except for a wide, vertical mouth that stretches from its forehead to its sternum, filled with rows of jagged, interlocking teeth.
The entity is typically invisible to the naked eye but becomes perceptible through reflective surfaces, including mirrors, polished metal, and even the corneas of the human eye under certain lighting conditions. When seen through a reflection, SCP-8951 emits a deep, inhuman howl, causing intense psychological distress in those who hear it.
Anomalous Properties:
Any person who views SCP-8951 in a reflection will begin experiencing auditory hallucinations of distant howling, escalating over time into full-blown psychosis if exposure is prolonged.
In rare cases, affected individuals report their own reflections shifting subtly—distorting to match SCP-8951's form.
Subjects who are exposed for more than 72 hours suffer irreversible neurological damage, experiencing constant visual distortions, inability to recognize their own reflection, and eventual self-mutilation in an attempt to “remove their face.”
SCP-8951 appears to be aware of its observers. In instances where multiple people witness it simultaneously, it has been observed to “choose” one target, following them persistently through reflections until direct intervention is taken.
Discovery:
SCP-8951 was first encountered in [REDACTED], an abandoned psychiatric hospital where multiple missing persons cases had been reported. Agents discovered mirrors throughout the facility covered in deep claw-like gouges, and several victims had been found with self-inflicted facial injuries. A single surviving witness, heavily traumatized, muttered only one phrase: "I saw myself scream."
Testing Log:
Test 1A: D-Class personnel introduced into a chamber with SCP-8951 visible via a one-way mirror. Subject reported hearing "whispers of my own voice" before breaking down in terror.
Test 3B: SCP-8951 appeared to recognize repeated observers. It displayed an ability to manipulate reflections in water, showing distorted images that did not correspond with real-world positioning.
Test 6C: One researcher, after prolonged exposure, was found staring into a blank computer screen, whispering, "It’s looking back." Subject later expired due to self-inflicted wounds.
Addendum - Incident Report 017:
A containment breach occurred when a security camera malfunctioned, causing SCP-8951 to manifest in nearby reflective surfaces. Three personnel were lost. All security monitors are now equipped with a distortion filter to prevent potential indirect viewing.
Conclusion:
SCP-8951 poses a severe memetic and psychological threat, capable of utilizing reflections as a medium for influence and attack. Further study is required to determine if its effect can extend beyond direct human observation and into digital or conceptual reflections.

The sandbox page was summarily deleted; afto, Kufat and myself witnessing. The user was sent a message regarding the page deletion (which stated "Your AI-generated sandbox https://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/scp-9506 has been deleted. Any further posting of AI-generated content to the sandbox or main site will result in a permanent ban. Please read the Required Reading before posting again."), and they have recreated the page with the same format and some word-replacement changes, though with the edit comment "I have edited it so that it is no longer Ai generated. The idea is ai, however I wrote the article"
SCP-9506 - "The Howling Reflection"
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-9506 should be contained in a soundproof, reinforced chamber at Site-██. Any reflective surface whatsoever is prohibited within 30 meters of its containment area. No individual is permitted to make eye contact with the reflection of SCP-9506 ever. SCP-9506 should be reported and burned the instant mirrors, glass, or metallic surfaces reflect it.
SCP-9506 is human-similar entity of approximately 2.3 meters in height, with elongated limbs and a crooked, almost fluid skeletal structure. Its skin is translucent, revealing dark veins pulsing beneath. SCP-9506 has no facial features other than an Content vertical mouth that runs from its forehead to its sternum, lined with sets of coarse, interlocking teeth.
The object itself is not normally perceivable to the naked eye but can be made visible through reflective materials like mirrors, polished metal, and even human eyes' corneas under certain lighting. When viewed through a reflection, SCP-9506 emits a low, ethereal howl that causes extreme psychological trauma to the test subject hearing it.
Anomalous Properties:
Any person viewing SCP-9506 in a mirror will begin to experience auditory hallucinations of distant howling, advancing over time into full psychosis if the exposure is prolonged.
In certain cases, the affected individuals describe their own mirrors altering in minor ways distorting to take the form of SCP-9506.
Test subjects shown for more than 72 hours suffer permanent neurological impairment, constant visual aberrations, inability to recognize their own reflection, and eventual self-inflicted mutilation in an attempt to "get rid of their face."
SCP-9506 is also reported to be sensitive to its observers. Where multiple individuals observe it simultaneously, it has been observed to "pick" one victim, pursuing them relentlessly through mirrors until direct intervention is used.
Discovery:
SCP-9506 was first found in [RECACTED], an abandoned psychiatric hospital where a number of missing persons cases had been reported. Agents discovered mirrors scattered around the building with deep claw-like marks, and some victims had been found with self-inflicted facial lacerations. One surviving witness, who was highly traumatized, testified to only one statement: "I saw myself scream."
Testing Log:
Test 1A: D-Class subjects exposed to a room where SCP-9506 is evident via a one-way mirror. Subject reported a perception of "whispers of my own voice" before fully collapsing in terror.
Test 3B: SCP-9506 appeared to recognize multiple testers. It displayed a capability to warp water reflections, showing twisted images unrelated to actual positioning in the real world.
Test 6C: One researcher, after prolonged exposure, was found gazing at an empty computer screen, repeating, "It's looking back." Subject later committed suicide.
Addendum - Incident Report 017:
A containment breach was resulted by a faulty security camera, which enabled SCP-9506 to manifest in nearby reflective surfaces. Three personnel were lost. Distortion filters have now been added to all security monitors to prevent potential indirect viewing.
Conclusion:
SCP-9506 is a very dangerous memetic and psychological hazard, which can use reflections as a conduit for attack and influence. It is necessary to further research whether the effect of it can be extended beyond direct human observation.

They also have another sandbox with obviously AI-generated content: https://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/scp-8196
As such, I am enacting a permanent ban on both the mainsite and sandbox. Bans enacted, PM sent.
