**Item #:** SCP-5891
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** A 200-meter exclusion zone has been established around SCP-5891 under the guise of “unstable structure and sinkhole risk.” Foundation Site-81 field agents monitor the area remotely using drone-mounted infrared and EM sensors.
Entry to the property between 2100–0500 hours is prohibited without Level-3 authorization. Any personnel entering SCP-5891 must be tethered, monitored for vitals, and equipped with Class-II protective lenses.
Local authorities have been issued a cover story regarding asbestos contamination and unstable terrain to deter civilian intrusion. Foundation web-crawlers under Operation Silent Hymn are tasked with removing online content relating to “Katy’s Church,” including paranormal videos, forums, and coordinates.
**Description:** SCP-5891 refers to a decaying 19th-century Methodist church and adjoining cemetery located outside Williamsport, Pennsylvania, locally known as “Katy’s Church.”
The site is associated with regional folklore surrounding Catherine “Katy” Vandine (1812–1899), a woman said to have hanged herself on the property's large oak tree.
Historical records for Vandine are inconclusive; however, gravestones bearing the initials “K.V.” within the cemetery frequently change position between nights corresponding with the new or harvest moon.
**Primary Anomalous Phenomena:**
Apparition Manifestation (Type-5891-A):
When an individual knocks three times on the large oak tree behind the church (locally referred to as “The Hanging Tree”), an apparition (SCP-5891-1) appears within approximately 2–4 minutes.
SCP-5891-1 resembles a young woman in a white dress, with long waterlogged hair and an irregular gait. The figure exhibits intermittent corporeality and releases droplets of water with high salinity inconsistent with local sources.
Witnesses report auditory phenomena including distorted hymn fragments and whispering in Pennsylvania Dutch.
No thermal signature has been recorded. Local EM spikes reach up to 38 milligauss during manifestations.
**Spatial Inconsistency (Type-5891-B):**
The church interior displays variable geometry. Interior mapping through drone LIDAR reveals shifting architecture — walls that move, doors that lead into loops, and windows that appear only under infrared. Recorded layouts reset after each exit.
**Vehicle and Audio Interference (Type-5891-C):**
Vehicles within 50 meters of the site spontaneously activate headlights and audio systems, often playing reversed 19th-century hymns (commonly “Shall We Gather at the River”). This effect ceases when vehicles exit the perimeter.
**Subterranean Acoustic Event (Type-5891-D):**
A large flat stone behind the church emits indefinite echoing sounds when struck, consistent with a deep hollow cavity. Ground-penetrating radar fails to determine depth, and objects dropped into the cavity do not produce impact noises.
**Addendum 5891-A: Discovery Log**
Date: 09/17/20██
Recovered By: Mobile Task Force Psi-9 (“Ghost Watch”)
Summary: SCP-5891 was discovered following a viral YouTube video titled “We Found Katy’s Church — She Answered.” The footage showed four civilians conducting the “three-knock” ritual at approximately 00:14 EST. The video ends abruptly with visual distortion and a female voice whispering “not the bell.”
The video accumulated over 11,000 views in under an hour before automatic Foundation webcrawlers triggered removal protocols. Two of the four individuals featured (███ █████ and ████ ██████) remain missing.
Recovered Artifacts from Site:
A handheld camera found 7.2 meters from the Hanging Tree, battery melted and SD card corrupted except for 2 seconds of video showing SCP-5891-1 approaching from the church doorway.
A gold locket engraved with “K.E. 1869.” The metal exhibits faint EM resonance and elevated background radiation (0.16 µSv/h).
Fragments of hymn paper containing incomplete musical notation. The paper displays ink movement when exposed to moonlight.
Field Notes — Agent R. Halbrook, MTF Psi-9
“The place feels alive — not haunted, alive. The air pressure drops when you walk past the fence, like the building’s holding its breath.
We sent in a drone, but it lost signal within thirty seconds. The feed cut to static that sounded like someone breathing into the mic.
When we retrieved it the next morning, the rotors were damp. It hadn’t rained in days.”
Following analysis, the church and surrounding land were purchased via Foundation front company Eminence Forestry LLC. The site was officially condemned on 10/01/20██.
**Addendum 5891-B: Interview Log 5891-03**
Interviewed: Local witness “J.T.” (surname redacted), male, 32
Interviewer: Dr. ████ █████
Date: 10/12/20██
Location: Foundation Field Office – Williamsport
<Begin Log>
Dr. █████: You said you’d been to the site before containment began?
J.T.: Yeah. Me and two friends. Everyone around here knows the story — if you knock on the tree, she comes out. We thought it was a joke.
Dr. █████: What time did you arrive?
J.T.: Little after midnight. There was this hum coming from the church — like a choir warming up, but low, like it was underground.
Dr. █████: And you performed the knocking ritual?
J.T.: Yeah. Three times. It sounded hollow, but not like wood. Deeper. After that, everything stopped. The crickets, the wind. Then she showed up.
Dr. █████: Describe what you saw.
J.T.: She looked maybe twenty. Long hair, white dress. Her feet weren’t touching the ground — she was swaying. I thought she was soaked, but it wasn’t water. It smelled like iron.
Dr. █████: Did she communicate?
J.T.: Not directly. But someone whispered right behind my ear — “not the bell.” Then our car lights came on by themselves and the radio started blasting that old hymn, backward. We ran.
Dr. █████: What did you see as you were leaving?
J.T.: The church windows lit up — every one of them, even though there’s no roof. Looked like a whole service was going on inside.
Dr. █████: Have you gone back since?
J.T.: No, sir. You couldn’t pay me to.

**Addendum 5891-C: Researcher’s Note**
“Katy’s Church is a self-sustaining legend — it doesn’t need to spread because everyone nearby already knows it.
The anomaly hides behind belief. Every retelling, every dare, every midnight visit feeds it just enough to keep it awake.
We haven’t contained it. We’ve just joined the congregation.”
— Dr. █████, Site-81

**Item #:** SCP-9967
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** [Statue must be encased and kept inside a 10x10 concrete cube, specifically Quikrete brand concrete.]
**Description:** [SCP-9967 is a concrete statue of the eastern gray squirrel. The statue is completely made of concrete, aside from its eyes, which are made from an unknown black material that cannot be broken, as efforts by the foundation have proven. The statue is found holding a concrete acorn, which is completely molded to its body.

**Item #:** SCP-9967
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9967 is to be contained within a 10 m x 10 m x 10 m containment chamber at Site-██, constructed entirely of Quikrete™-brand concrete, per Material Integrity Report 9967-C. The statue must remain encased within an additional 2 m-thick concrete shell at all times.
Access to SCP-9967’s containment chamber requires written approval from at least one (1) Level 4 personnel. All surveillance equipment placed within the containment area must operate on closed analog circuits, as digital feeds experience frequent unexplained interference.
Any personnel assigned to SCP-9967 must undergo psychological evaluation every two (2) weeks. Audio monitoring of the chamber is prohibited following Incident 9967-A.
**Description:** SCP-9967 is a concrete statue of an eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), measuring approximately 0.48 meters in height and 0.32 meters in length. The statue’s composition is consistent with standard Quikrete™ concrete, with the exception of its eyes, which are composed of an unknown black vitreous material. Attempts to sample or fracture this material have failed, even under extreme heat (>3000°C), pressure, and molecular abrasion.
The statue is sculpted in a seated position, clutching a concrete acorn molded seamlessly into its forepaws. Any attempt to remove the acorn results in severe structural degradation of surrounding matter rather than the statue itself.
When unobserved for extended periods (typically exceeding 12 minutes), SCP-9967 has been documented to change orientation or position within its containment chamber. These movements are never captured on video, though the statue’s location, posture, and orientation visibly differ between frames.
Personnel who remain in close proximity to SCP-9967 for longer than 30 minutes report the following symptoms:
Auditory hallucinations resembling scratching, gnawing, or chittering.
The persistent sensation of being watched.
The appearance of small piles of crushed acorn shells near the containment door (chemical analysis reveals these shells are organic in nature, not concrete).
**Addendum 9967-A:** Discovery
SCP-9967 was recovered from a college campus in ███████, Pennsylvania, after multiple reports of “a squirrel statue that keeps moving closer to the academic center.” Local law enforcement dismissed the reports until one officer’s body camera footage showed the statue appearing in a different position between frames. Foundation agents embedded in local animal control intercepted the footage, administered Class-A amnestics, and retrieved SCP-9967.
The previous president of the college, [REDACTED], stated that he purchased the statue at a yard sale from an unidentified elderly man who described it as “the watcher of the yard.” The man has not been located.
Addendum 9967-B: Incident Report
Date: ██/██/20██
Summary: During a scheduled inspection, Dr. ████ ordered partial removal of SCP-9967’s outer casing to analyze its material composition. Within 3 minutes of exposure, all analog video equipment malfunctioned, and containment personnel reported intense scratching noises. When visual contact was reestablished, SCP-9967 had rotated 180 degrees and was facing the observation window. Dr. ████ later reported experiencing recurring dreams of “black eyes watching from the trees.”
Containment protocol revised. Further physical study of SCP-9967 is suspended indefinitely.
Note from Dr. Halvorsen:
“We’ve confirmed it doesn’t like being looked at, but it doesn’t like being ignored either. Keep it sealed, keep it concrete, and for God’s sake—no one feed the squirrel.”
