This file is to be updated as new information is confirmed. Please reference temporary containment protocols until further procedures are established.
Temporary Containment Protocol: The property on which SCP-5570 is located has been evacuated of all non-permanent residents. All physical evidence will be confiscated upon containment of the anomaly.
Description
SCP-5570 is a series of phenomena affecting the "Stevens' Family Hotel", located in Corbin Springs, Illinois. Phenomena include, but are not limited to:
- Humanoid spectral entities varying in age, race, and appearance.
- Electronic malfunctions, including intermittent failure in illumination outlets, abnormal TV activity, and radio interference.
- Auditory phenomena, including disembodied voices, knocking, screaming, and footsteps.
The cause of this concentration of spectral phenomenon is currently under investigation.
Discovery
The Foundation became aware of SCP-5570 when a member of the Stevens family1 contacted Shelby County Paranormal Investigations2. The Stevens and their patrons reported multiple sightings of spectral entities throughout the hotel. This claim was corroborated through substantial video evidence. Special Investigation Team Charlie-14 ("Spooky Sleuths") was dispatched to assess the situation.
UPDATE: Investigation Report
Temporary containment protocols were immediately established and SIT Charlie-14 members Cameron Monroe and Jerry Williams arrived to investigate SCP-5570. A brief interview was conducted prior to the initiation of the investigation.
Following the interview, the Agents entered the hotel to begin their investigation.
Following the investigation, a cache of items belonging to the previous owner was recovered, along with a glowing glass sphere theorized to be the cause of the SCP-5570 phenomena. When questioned Mike Stevens admitted to using the anomaly in an attempt to garner attention from his parents. In response to Mike's behavior, the Stevens family arranged for their son to work part time as a greeter in their hotel. Mike Stevens was administered Class-D Amnestics to remove knowledge of the anomaly, and cover story "Ghosts-Busted" was enacted to explain the discontinuation of SCP-5570.
