The Legend Of SCPs And How To Identify Them

SCP 035

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-035 is to be kept within a hermetically sealed glass case, no fewer than 10 centimeters (4 inches) thick. This case is to be contained within a steel, iron and lead-shielded room at all times. Doors are to be triple-locked at all times, with the exception of allowing personnel in or out. No fewer than two (2) armed guards are to be posted at any time. Guards must remain outside at all times and are not allowed within the containment room under any circumstances. A trained psychologist is to remain on site at all times. Research personnel are not to touch SCP-035 at any time. SCP-035 must be moved to a new sealed case every two (2) weeks. The previous case must be disposed of via SCP-101, as it shows no adverse reactions to SCP-035's “corruption”. Anyone who comes into contact with SCP-035 when it is in possession of a host is to be given an immediate psychological evaluation.

Description: 
Subjects within 5-6 feet of SCP-035, or in visual contact with it, experience a strong urge to put it on. When said mask is placed on the face of an individual person, an alternate brain wave pattern from SCP-035 overlaps that of the original host, effectively snuffing it out and causing brain death to the subject. Subject then claims to be the consciousness contained within the mask. The bodies of "possessed" individuals begin to wither away and decay at an alarmingly, highly accelerated rate, eventually becoming little more than mummified corpses. Nevertheless, SCP-035 has demonstrated the ability to remain in cognitive control of a body experiencing severe structural damage, even if the subject's body literally decays to the point where motion is not supposed to be mechanically possible. However no effect is found to be had when placed on the face of an animal, this SCP seems to only effect humans.

Additional: SCP-035 was found in a sealed crypt in an abandoned house in Venice around the 1800s

Addendum 035-03: It has been determined that SCP-035 is capable of telepathy, whether or not it possesses a host, even penetrating to the subconscious of others, and using the knowledge it finds to its advantage. Extreme caution is advised when choosing subjects to converse with SCP-035.

SCP 035 Has also been known to become interested in othe SCPs when questioned about them, it claims to have been at many SCP historical events throughout history leading researchers to believe it is extremely intelligent
