Holy Ghost Catholic Academy in 2025.
Special Containment Procedures: The building containing SCP-8022 has been formally condemned and is now owned by Foundation real-estate development front company Smith & Chandler Properties. A standard security perimeter has been established around the site and at least one armed Foundation personnel must patrol said perimeter at all times, with one armed security squad on permanent retainer. Town and Country Sheriff’s Department have also been advised to monitor the perimeter under the guise of preventing anti-social behaviour within the building.
Investigation into the precise cause of death of PoI-5677 is still ongoing.
Description: SCP-8022 is a humanoid spectral entity currently bound to the abandoned site of Holy Ghost Catholic Academy, located in Town and Country, Missouri.
SCP-8022 is slightly translucent and takes the appearance of a headless Caucasian human wearing a white dress, denim jeans and combat boots. SCP-8022 is believed to be the posthumous manifestation of Alison Carling1, a 23-year-old Town and Country resident whose partial remains were found within the abandoned high-school in October of 2024.
SCP-8022 is semi-corporeal, selectively immaterial, and is able to teleport anywhere within its bound-location, as well as phase through solid objects and entities. SCP-8022 is hostile and can physically attack any subject in its vicinity, possessing the strength and flexibility of an average human being — often kicking, punching, biting or scratching its target.
At time of writing, it is currently impossible to remove SCP-8022 from its bound-location.
Discovery: Holy Ghost Catholic Academy operated as an all-boys Catholic public high-school from 1964 to 2020 when it was closed due to lack of funding. On 9/14/2023, PoI-5677, who according to public records attended the school from 2015 to 2019, was captured on CCTV footage entering the abandoned site, wherein they are presumed to have expired via unexplainable means. Shortly after this, rumours of paranormal activity within the building began.
Foundation agents were alerted to SCP-8022 on 10/31/2024, when a group of five adolescents who had entered the abandoned high-school reported being attacked by a "headless ghost". The group were detained and interviewed, with two subjects receiving treatment for minor injuries. All five were amnesticised and released under the cover story "Vagrant Attack".
MTF-Kappa-24 ("Ghost-Busters") were later dispatched to explore the site and make contact with SCP-8022. The entity did not respond to verbal communication, nor made any vocalisations beyond screaming. Inside the school's chapel room, agents recovered the severed head of PoI-5677, found inside the altar's tabernacle. No blood belonging to PoI-5677 was found at the site.
Forensic evidence, field agent investigation, eye-witness testimony, and surveillance footage failed to prove that any other individual or entity was present within Holy Ghost Catholic Academy at the time of PoI-5677's death.
Addendum 8022.1: During post-discovery investigation of SCP-8022, a Neocities2 website created by PoI-5677 was found, containing multiple diary entries.
The following is the final of these diary entries, posted two days before PoI-5677's disappearance.
