Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
-------
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is contained in a lightproof chamber at Site-19. The room must remain sealed and unlit outside of authorized testing sessions. Visual observation of SCP-XXXX is strictly prohibited. All monitoring is to be conducted via non-optical methods (e.g., lidar mapping, tactile interface).
Personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX must wear fully opaque goggles and be guided by sightless assistants via verbal instruction. Any unauthorized visual exposure warrants immediate psychiatric evaluation.
Individuals exposed to SCP-XXXX for 20 seconds or more must undergo a 72-hour quarantine and be monitored for cognitive or behavioral anomalies. Weekly psychological evaluations are to continue for three months post-exposure.
--------
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a full-length mirror measuring 1.9 meters by 0.6 meters, set in an ornate silver frame consistent with 18th-century French craftsmanship. Material analysis reveals inconsistent oxidation and structural irregularities not matching its apparent age. A Latin inscription—Videtur dum videt (“It watches as it is watched”)—is etched on the back of the frame.
Anomalous effects occur when a subject maintains direct eye contact with their reflection for 20 seconds or longer. Initial responses include discomfort, the sensation of being observed, and subtle asynchrony between the subject and their reflection. After approximately 60 seconds, the reflection may begin to move independently.
These movements often involve gestures or expressions drawn from the subject’s past, including re-creations of emotionally significant or suppressed events. In advanced stages, the reflection ceases all mimicry and operates autonomously. Subjects report the reflection watching them, responding with apparent awareness, and occasionally mouthing words—though no sound is ever recorded.
Prolonged exposure is associated with derealization, memory distortion, and auditory hallucinations—usually in the form of the subject’s own voice speaking from behind them. Recurring dreams involving mirrors are common. Several subjects have expressed the belief that they have been “replaced” or are no longer themselves.
As of ██/██/20██, seventeen individuals have developed chronic mirror avoidance. One subject, D-9432, disappeared during routine testing. Footage shows her reflection turn and walk away at [01:08], followed by visual interference. No physical trace of D-9432 has been recovered.

Addendum XXXX-A — Historical Record
Source: Recovered journal, Maison d’Isolène estate
Date: 2 October 1881
Author: Delphine Isolène
> They said she never left the mirror. That when Grandmother died, part of her stayed inside.
I looked when I wasn’t meant to. Not long. Just enough. What I saw remembered things I didn’t.
She smiled when I cried. She waved when I turned away.
Three nights ago, she pressed her hand to the glass and mouthed four words:
You are the copy.
The journal was recovered alongside SCP-XXXX. All attic windows in the estate were sealed from within. No prior owner was located.

Addendum XXXX-B — Neutralization Attempt (ADE/01)
Date: ██/██/20██
Lead Researcher: Dr. Elias Renn
Summary: Test of combined thermal and acoustic disruption against SCP-XXXX.
Procedure:
SCP-XXXX was placed in a sealed test chamber. A thermal pulse was delivered concurrently with a 14,000 Hz resonance field. Standard containment procedures observed.
Result:
Minor vibration detected in the frame. SCP-XXXX activated despite the absence of visual contact. At [07:18:41], all monitoring devices failed. Personnel reported an audible cracking sound, described as resembling "ice under strain."
Recovered footage (after system restoration) shows a humanoid figure visible within the mirror's reflection. The figure faced the chamber, raised one hand, and turned to walk deeper into the reflective space. SCP-XXXX remained physically unaltered. Ambient temperature in the test environment dropped by 11°C.
Conclusion:
SCP-XXXX appears resistant to both physical and memetic disruption. The interior space observed has not been confirmed. Further neutralization attempts have been suspended.
Researcher Note:
Following the test, Dr. Renn reported an encounter with “a younger version” of himself in a hallway mirror. His final audio log before requesting indefinite leave includes the following:
> “He said something before he left. My reflection.
‘You’ve already broken. I’m just the crack.’”
