► The Pennsylvania Dark

The village of New Northton, Pennsylvania, does not appear on any maps. No newspapers, no census, almost no official record exists at all, save for the scant, disquieting information gathered by the Foundation. A battered almanac, found in a Philadelphia motel. A sheet of paper, discarded in a library. There are a half-dozen tenuous links and hesitant hypotheses, but very little is certain. We do know that people have a way of mysteriously vanishing when they get too nosy around those parts.

We also know a few names — perhaps pseudonyms. "New Northton," the name of the town. "Henry Glattfelder" crops up occasionally, in labyrinthine bank transfers and moldy property records dug out of old filing cabinets. There are a few civilians who wander out, and they don't have much to say. "Haernacht," sometimes. The Lord of Nocturne, in the dialect of German still spoken in some parts of Pennsylvania. "Nachtkarich," a Church of that same Lord. "Nix."

We tapped imaging satellites. There's nothing there. That's when we took notice.

We sent in spies. They went dark, and didn't return. That's when we got scared.

There are only three things we know for sure:

They are not secure.

They are not contained.

And we are not protected.

Haerrnacht loss komme.

The Pennsylvania Dark is a collection of SCPs focusing on the Nachtkarich, an old-world cult transplanted to rural America. Each SCP stands alone, and can be enjoyed without any extra context.
