**Item #:** SCP-XXXX
**Object Class:**Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** Foundation front entity Archeon Facilities, Ltd. is embedded within the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Chicago, Illinois, and operates as the official preservation contractor for the Madlener House (40 W. Burton Pl.). All public-facing activity on upper levels (esp. third floor) is monitored and managed under Cover Designation GRH-77.
Public access to the third floor is permitted only for pre-approved events and guided tours. Duration of civilian presence must not exceed 90 minutes. Visitors displaying disorientation, nausea, or acute déjà vu are to be discreetly redirected using standard “guest fatigue” procedures (reference: SCP-XXXX-CF/Protocol-B).
On-site staff are trained to deploy low-disruption evacuation narratives when temporal anomalies (designated templex events) exceed Threshold β (see Addendum XXXX-B). Chronometric drift detection is automated via Foundation-installed sensor network concealed within HVAC and fire control systems.
All recorded templex events are to be logged with Site-77’s Temporal Mechanics Division for correlation analysis.
**Description:** SCP-XXXX refers to a series of recurring temporal distortions localized within the Madlener House, a historic Prairie-style mansion currently housing the Graham Foundation. These anomalies primarily manifest on the third floor and its adjacent stairwells, though isolated incidents have been documented in the east gallery on the second floor.
Phenomena involve:
Auditory Desynchronization: Sounds occurring minutes before or after their actual source events (e.g., hearing a timer before it rings, fireworks before their scheduled launch).
Visual Echoes: Individuals observing versions of themselves or coworkers in agitated states, issuing warnings or performing actions out of temporal sequence.
Chronometric Drift: Timepieces within affected zones registering variable delays/advances up to 8m:42s.
Residual Presence: Sensations of occupancy in empty rooms, often coinciding with ozone-like odors and static “pressure” in the air.
Prolonged exposure (> 2 hr cumulative within 48 h) is correlated with headaches, sleep disruption, intrusive memory patterns, and in rare cases, echo hallucinations — individuals perceiving events that have yet to occur, or that occurred at an alternate point in the local timeline.
Current working hypothesis: SCP-XXXX represents a local temporal fold caused by unstable superposition of event strata tied to the building’s historical renovations (1912, 1963, 2001). Informal field term: “templexing.”
**Addendum: XXXX-A: Templex Phenomenology Overview**
Excerpted from Foundation Temporal Phenomenology Field Guide, Rev. 3.4
Templexing (n.): The localized overlap or misalignment of discrete temporal strata, resulting in partial event bleed-through. Observed as precognitive or postcognitive phenomena in confined spaces. Often intermittent, intensity correlates with:
– Duration of subject presence
– Proximity to historical structural changes
– Environmental triggers (pressure shifts, seasonal humidity, construction work)
Known triggers within SCP-XXXX include sustained human presence, abrupt HVAC cycling, and seasonal exhibition preparations drawing higher-than-normal foot traffic.

**Addendum XXXX-C: Incident Transcript – “Fireworks Before the Fire”**
Interviewed: Cassandra “Cass” Herrera (Former Assistant Curator)
Date: 2025-07-15
Location: Site-88
Note: Subject resigned due to “unresolved workplace stress.” Displays symptoms consistent with low-grade temporal echo exposure.
<Begin Transcript>
Muller: State your name and what you did at the Graham Foundation.
Herrera: Cassandra Herrera. I was an assistant curator — events, exhibits, that kind of thing. Mostly worked on the third floor.
Muller: When did things start to feel wrong?
Herrera: Early summer, I guess. At first, just small stuff. You ever walk into a room and it feels off for no reason? Like you’ve already been there even though you haven’t? That kind of thing. Kept happening. More and more.
Muller: Tell me about the fireworks.
Herrera: Late June. I’m in the east hall, four-something in the afternoon, messing with lights. Then I hear fireworks outside. Loud, like right there in the street. But they weren’t scheduled. Sky was overcast, no shows that day. Thought I was losing track of the calendar.
Then a week later, same hall — one of our guys, Kyle, falls off a ladder. Breaks his wrist. Thing is… I heard the crash the day before. Exact same sound, same spot. No one was even up there when I heard it.
Muller: Did you share this with anyone?
Herrera: I joked about it. Started keeping notes though. Times, sounds. Stuff started lining up.
Muller: What happened next?
Herrera: Voices. Sometimes it was like people talking in another room, but nobody was there. Then one day, I heard myself yelling from upstairs — “It’s not a drill. RUN.” Clear as anything. I ran up — empty.
Few days later, I’m training the new kid, Evan. He comes to me pale, says, “You just yelled at me to run.” Says he saw me at the top of the stairs. But I’d been down the hall. That’s when we both left. Didn’t go back.
That night I get a missed call — from me. Says “Cass (voicemail).” I didn’t call myself. Played it anyway. It was me, breathing hard, whispering:
“He doesn’t leave. You did. I didn’t. We split. I can’t—”
Then cut off. Vanished off my phone ten minutes later.
Muller: Do you feel any lingering effects?
Herrera: Not exactly sick. Just… like I left a version of me there. And she’s still walking that floor.

File Note:
Herrera monitored for residual temporal resonance. Secondary interview with “Evan” [SURV-019] pending.
