**Item #:** SCP-9031
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9031 is to be contained within a locked room at all times at Site-██. The chamber is to remain unoccupied except during approved testing procedures.
Personnel assigned to SCP-9031 interaction duties must:
# Undergo psychological screening prior to contact
# Avoid repeat exposure within a 72-hour period
# Submit post perception reports within 1 hour of exit
Visual monitoring of SCP-9031 is prohibited outside controlled testing environments.
All surveillance footage of SCP-9031 interaction zones must be reviewed by no fewer than two (2) Level █ personnel for inconsistencies in environment and subject-reported discrepancies.
Subjects reporting anomalous perceptual effects are to be swiftly quarantined and evaluated for cognitive instability.
**Description:** SCP-9031 is a cognitively disruptive perceptual anomaly that manifests following direct physical contact.
SCP-9031 is typically described as a humanoid entity of an elderly age. However, its visual appearance is highly inconsistent between observers and no two subjects have reported the same visual. Even in controlled testing environments, no stable baseline morphology has been established.
Upon physical contact with SCP-9031 affected individuals (hereafter referred to as "subjects") begin to exhibit progressive disruption in the visual cortex and parietal lobe. This effect does not present as direct hallucination. Instead, it alters the subject's ability to resolve incomplete sensory input into stable conclusions.
Subjects report phenomena including, but not limited to:
# Partial visual confirmation of objects or entities without full perceptual resolution
# Perceived "edges" or outlines of stimuli outside direct line of sight
# Persistent uncertainty regarding whether an observed event has occurred
# Increasing inability to distinguish observation from inference
In many cases, SCP-9031 appears to bias these perceptions to the subject's pre-existing fears or anxieties. However, these manifestations remain incomplete and unstable, preventing full confirmation of any perceived threat.
As the effects progress, subjects often begin to to experience a secondary perceptual substitution phenomenon. During periods of unresolved perceptual ambiguity, SCP-9031 is intermittently interpreted as a familiar or emotionally significant figure, typically an archetype associated with trust or safety.
Reported interpretations include: Close acquaintances, and in multiple cases,
> "an elderly man perceived as an old friend requesting a handshake."
Subjects consistently describe strong emotional certainty towards these interpretations despite acknowledging the absence of confirmable sensory evidence.
This dual effect results in escalating cognitive distress. Subjects often attempt to reconcile contradictory states of perception: unresolved threat ambiguity versus emotionally certain familiarity. Continued exposure correlates strongly with anxiety disorders, paranoia, and eventual refusal to rely on unverified sensory input. SCP-9031 does not exhibit any observable locomotion or pursuit behavior. However, all subjects report a persistent sense of proximal presence, even in environments where surveillance systems confirm no movement or positional change.
**Addendum 9031-1:** Subject 9031-A reported observing
> "the edge of a slender white figure hiding behind the doorframe"
approximately 13 hours after contact.
Security footage showed no anomalous presence in the recorded space. Subject became increasingly distressed, stating that repeat observation attempts were "making it harder to tell if it was really there or not."
Within 36 hours, subject began refusing all peripheral-vision-reliant tasks, stating:
> "I can't tell if I already saw it, or if I'm about to see it. Either way means I did"
Subject also reported intermittent perception of SCP-9031 as
> "An elderly man standing near the doorframe, like someone familiar checking in."
Subject expressed no fear towards this interpretation, describing it as
> "Comforting in a way that doesn't make sense."
Subject was sedated after attempting to avoid all situations requiring unverified sensory input.
**Addendum 9031-2:**
**Researcher Notes**
> "We initially assumed 9031 was a stalking-type entity or memetic hazard, but that framing is incorrect. It destabilizes the reliability of sensory confirmation itself.
>
> The most concerning aspect is not the perceived threats, but the substitution response, subjects begin treating uncertainty as something that can be emotionally 'filled in' with false familiarity.
>
> At that point, perception is no longer just unreliable. It becomes persuasive"

Addendum 9031-2:
Researcher Notes
"We initially assumed 9031 was a stalking-type entity or memetic hazard, but that framing is incorrect. It destabilizes the reliability of sensory confirmation itself.
The most concerning aspect is not the perceived threats, but the substitution response, subjects begin treating uncertainty as something that can be emotionally 'filled in' with false familiarity.
At that point, perception is no longer just unreliable. It becomes persuasive"
