Special Containment Procedures:


The Suffolk Mill is to have its security footage inspected every month for anomalous activity. Three MTF members are to guard the Mill and report any potential resurgence of SCP-6748.

Description:


SCP-6748 was a series of spatial anomalies located in Lowell, Massachusetts. SCP-6748's effects were focused within the perimeter of the Suffolk Mill, a part of the Lowell National Historical Park1. SCP-6748 details the infrequent but significant spatial warping and growth of the Suffolk Mill's internal geometry (as detailed in Addendum 1), along with the appearance of unrecognized anomalous entities. Additionally, parts of the Mill were found to be connected to several other similar, potentially extradimensional, locations that were being used as testing sites for a currently unknown group of interest.

The first discovered instance of SCP-6748's effects was in 1981, following reports of active machinery being heard within the walls of the building, as well as rooms disappearing entirely. The man responsible for reporting the initial incident was a guard at the facility and reported migraines following the incident. His claims were dismissed at the time due to lack of evidence and credited to heavy drinking. Four more reports of anomalous behaviour were documented at the time following a Foundation investigation into previous staff members, these encounters have been transcribed below.

Year Persons involved Anomaly
1979 Jack Livingstone (Janitor) Chittering and scratching were heard from within the brick chimney. Upon investigation, the chimney appeared to be filled with a thick, acrid smelling, smog.
1979 Ivor Stevenson (Teacher) During a school trip to the Historical Park area, a teacher reported feelings of stress and persistent headaches, before passing out. Whilst sleeping he reportedly repeatedly muttered the phrase "Let us back." Upon waking, Mr Stevenson was found to have severe retrograde amnesia along with an EVE2 level twice the norm for a non-anomalous human.
1980 Jack Livingstone (Janitor) A room that could not be located on the building plan was discovered at the back of the facility exhibiting spatial distortion. The room contained numerous piles of machinery parts and other unknown mechanical equipment. It is unknown if any of these objects are currently in Foundation custody.
1983 Sophie South (Visitor) The sound of a metal chain being moved was heard intermittently from within a staff-only room. The incident was reported, but no active machinery in the room was found.

It is likely that further anomalous phenomena occurred, but due to the building's nature, went undocumented.

Following an investigation in 1994 by STF3 Rho-7 ("Greeting Party"), anomalous activity was presumed to be neutralized. Further surveillance and security equipment were installed following this incident.

Addendum 1: Incident 6748-1


After the events of Incident 6748-1, SCP-6748 has been closed to the public under the guise of renovations and repairs to the building. Cover story "Industrial Accident" has been disseminated to the local populace by the Department of Misinformation.

Incident 6748-1 refers to a series of interrelated spatial anomalies within the Suffolk Mill, as well as the arrival of an unknown group of interest. Incident 6748-1 occurred within a period of twelve days, starting 14/08/1996. All video recordings from within the Suffolk Mill during this period cause an anomalous manifestation of physical degradation to their storage mediums, resembling the effect of rust. Furthermore, audio recordings contained a persistent background noise comprised of chirping, clicking, screeching, hissing and buzzing. Due to this lack of comprehensive audiovisual recordings, the precise events of Incident 6748-1 are unknown.

Following the start of Incident-6748-1, all but seven staff members of the Suffolk Mill were evacuated. Upon a closer investigation of the recovered staff, a high proportion of them had pieces of dry, flaky, orange skin that was unnaturally hard and brittle when touched. Once the affected areas of skin were removed, the subjects showed no further anomalous properties and were released.

Portions of audio and visual recordings from numerous sources from within the Suffolk Mill have been successfully recreated and attached below. The entities recorded have been given the designations SCP-6748-1 to 4 due to their theorized creation of the anomaly.

Because of complications at the nearby site, the formation and arrival of STF Rho-7 took longer than expected. Fortunately, due to this, anomalous activities at the Suffolk Mill had decreased significantly, allowing for recording devices to stay active longer. The recording of the exploration log has been condensed and transcribed below.

Following these occurrences, further infrequent sensory-based anomalous activity has been noted within the Suffolk Mill. Currently, known phenomena are described below:

  • Incoherent whispering and chittering coming from within the walls.
  • Sounds of welding, scraping and hammering.
  • Rapid onset of rust on any metal items in the vicinity of the Mill.

As of 25/08/1997 no further disappearances or spatial anomalies from the Mill, or its surrounding area, have been recorded.

Due to the low anomalous risk, in addition to a thorough investigation by STF Rho-7 ("Greeting Party"), the park has re-opened at a reduced capacity to guests. Monitoring of the park is ongoing.

Addendum 2: Incident 6748-2


As of 3:00am on 27/12/1999, two unidentified figures were spotted emerging from a janitorial closet within the Mill; after inspection of the recorded footage, the door leads to a metal gantry overlooking a large decrepit room. The room appears to be part of a disused large industrial complex, though its location cannot be discerned.

The same live feed camera captured a snippet of their conversation, before failing due to rapid internal degradation: "The gate to this testing site shall now be closed as it is no longer needed. Prepare to move everything out to Metzger and inform him of the new schedule."

Following this, an extreme spatial restructuring of the Suffolk Mill's interior occurred continuously for upwards of four hours, removing all known spatial anomalies. At the end of this period, the latter portion of a message from the on-site announcement system was heard.

"Gentlemen, I do declare: The Factory is back in business!"

All staff present were given Class-A amnestics. An investigation into the previously perceived defunct GoI-0010 and a nearby anomaly related to them are ongoing.

All anomalous activity surrounding the Suffolk Mill has ceased and SCP-6748 is pending Classification Committee reclassification to Neutralized.
