Item #: SCP-7258
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7258 is currently contained at Site KA-7258 and is surrounded by a three-meter thick titanium wall monitored around the clock by Foundation personnel. Expeditions inside SCP-7258 have been permanently suspended following the incident on ██/██/██ and the deaths of four members of MTF Unit Whiskey-9. Any Foundation personnel found to have entered SCP-7258 without authorization is considered lost and no further attempt to recover them should be made. Any personnel who believe they have seen SCP-7258-1 are mandated to report the sighting to the Site Supervisor.
SCP-7258, entry point.
Description: SCP-7258 is a cornfield located in ██████████, Kansas, occupying approximately 198 acres of land. SCP-7258 appears normal from the outside, overhead imaging revealing no structures or clearings within the cornfield. Upon entering SCP-7258 from any direction, individuals will manifest in an alternate version of the cornfield. Exploration of SCP-7258 has revealed the interior to be a spatial anomaly, as Foundation exploration operations found no perceivable end to the rows of corn. Upon a subject entering SCP-7258 by any means, they are transported inside SCP-7258’s spatial anomaly. Whether the space inside SCP-7258 is a ‘pocket’ dimension or something else entirely is unclear.
Any attempts made to physically harm or remove any stalks of corn from SCP-7258 have been ineffective, as the stalks have proven to be immensely resistant to any physical harm. However, it is possible to remove ears of corn from the stalks. Physical analysis of the corn has revealed nothing anomalous or even abnormal about it, and it has proven safe for consumption. After removal, the ears of corn regrow over a period of 60-100 days, remaining consistent with non-anomalous corn.
The Foundation was first made aware of SCP-7258 in ████ when the FBI’s Unusual Incidents Unit turned the case over to the Foundation after three exploration teams were ‘lost’ within SCP-7258. A handful of members from the UIU remain closely involved with Foundation research efforts at Site KA-7258.
Exploration Logs: Numerous expeditions have been made into SCP-7258 with varying SCP-7258 degrees of success.
A Foundation Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) carrying camera equipment transmitting to Foundation personnel inside Site KA-7258 in order to gather information about SCP-7258.
BEGIN VIDEO
[0.00.00] The camera turns on. The UGV has crossed over into SCP-7258’s interior and is now surrounded by corn stalks and anything beyond a foot in front of the camera is obscured by corn.[00.00.31] After preliminary equipment and systems checks, the UGV begins moving through SCP-7258.
[ FF » ]
[00.04.19] The UGV appears to bump into something. Foundation researchers controlling the UGV pivot the camera upwards. Through the stalks of corn, the head of a scarecrow is visible. It resembles a burlap bag, with holes cut roughly in the shape of eyes and a mouth. It remains facing forward.
[00.04.27] The video and audio transmitted from the UGV abruptly shuts off, displaying a connection error message. After four seconds the footage resumes. The scarecrow has disappeared. The UGV resumes movement through SCP-7258.
[ FF » ]
[01.27.12] The UGV enters a clearing. More corn surrounds the clearing in a circle. The sky is clear, reflecting the outside weather seen when the UGV was initially sent into SCP-7258, rather than the current weather outside of SCP-7258. In the center of the clearing a large opening in the ground is visible.
[01.27.22] // The UGV attempts to move closer to the hole but is stopped by an unknown force. The camera is jerked around to face the scarecrow seen earlier. The holes in the burlap bag have changed. The mouth is contorted into a grimace, while the eyes appear angry. A voice emanates from the scarecrow.//
[01.27.24] Scarecrow: Get out.
CONNECTION LOST
Four hours after the connection to the UGV was lost, it began transmitting exclusively audio. After eleven seconds of silence an abrupt cacophony of agonized screams was heard. This persisted for several minutes before the audio transmission was terminated by the UGV operator. One of the onsite agents of the UIU claimed that one of the screams closely matched that of one of the members of the lost UIU exploration teams. Foundation personnel were unable to confirm the accuracy of the agent’s claims. Following this exploration attempt, the scarecrow entity was officially given the SCP-7258-1 designation.
No further manned expeditions have been attempted. Any personnel found to have entered SCP-7258 should be considered dead and on-site funeral arrangements should be prepared.
ADDENDUM:
It has recently been made apparent to me that contact with Site-KA-7258 has been lost following Site KA-7258’s director's failure to submit the mandatory monthly financial report, whereupon it was uncovered that a host of necessary reports and documents have not been submitted by KA-7258 staff in at least eleven days. I almost did not believe it myself, but the staff member in charge of cataloging items of such nature has been ‘slacking off,’ so to speak (rest assured, their contract has been terminated and they were replaced with a much more adequate researcher). MTF squadrons from the neighboring Site-████ have been briefed regarding KA-7258’s anomaly and are currently en route. I’ll send updates as I receive them.
KA-7258 is offline. Our MTF squads arrived to, frankly, a bloodbath. Everyone stationed onsite is dead. I don’t even know where to begin a damage report. Communications equipment is eviscerated, the electrical systems are fried, and most of the data is unrecoverable. They managed to scrape some essential files as well as the documentation for SCP-7258 itself off of what was left of the site’s NAS storage, but the research logs, reports, and pretty much everything else are completely lost. The MTF squads secured the perimeter but found no trace of SCP-7258-1. Containment teams have been deployed and SCP-7258-1 has been designated a priority two threat. An investigation is currently underway into the nature of what happened at KA-7258. I’ll forward you the report when I get my hands on it.
They found something at KA-7258, they pulled a corpse out of the field. It wasn’t one of the site personnel. It was Lambert. I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but his body was just on the edge of 7258. It’s mangled, gutted, but it’s definitely him. His body is being transferred to a nearby site for a full examination. Teams are searching the exterior of 7258 for any signs of the others, but judging by the footage Lambert uploaded before his death, I don’t think we’ll find anything. I’ll keep you updated.
