item #: scp-087 object class: euclid special containment procedures: scp-087 islocated on the campus of [redacted]. the doorway leading to scp-087 is constructed of reinforcedsteel with an electro-release lock mechanism. it has been disguised to resemble a janitorialcloset consistent with the design of the building. the lock mechanism on the doorknob will notrelease unless â–ˆâ–ˆ volts are applied in conjunction with counter-clockwise rotationof the key. the inside of the door is lined with 6 centimeters of industrial foam padding. due to the results of the final exploration(see document 087-iv), no personnel are permitted

access to scp-087. description: scp-087 is an unlit platformstaircase. stairs descend on a 38 degree angle for 13 steps before reaching a semicircularplatform of approximately 3 meters in diameter. descent direction rotates 180 degrees at eachplatform. the design of scp-087 limits subjects to a visual range of approximately 1.5 flights.a light source is required for any subjects exploring scp-087, as there are no lightingfixtures or windows present. lighting sources brighter than 75 watts have shown to be ineffective,as scp-087 seems to absorb excess light. subjects report and audio recordings confirmthe distressed vocalizations from what is to be a child between the ages of â–ˆ andâ–ˆâ–ˆ. the source of the distress calls is

estimated to be located approximately 200meters below the initial platform. however, any attempts to descend the staircase havefailed to bring subjects closer to the source. the depth of descent calculated from explorationiv, the longest exploration, is shown to be far beyond both the possible structure ofboth the building and geological surroundings. at this time, it is unknown if scp-087 hasan endpoint. scp-087 has undergone four video recordedexplorations by class-d personnel. each subject conducting an exploration has encounteredscp-087-1, which appears as a face with no visible pupils, nostrils, or mouth. the natureof scp-087-1 is entirely unclear, but it has been determined that it is not the sourceof the pleading. subjects exhibit feelings

of intense paranoia and fear when faced withscp-087-1, but it is undetermined whether said feelings are abnormal or simply naturalreactions. addendum:over a period of 2 weeks following exploration iv, several members of the staff and studentsfrom the [redacted] campus reported knocking at a variable rate of 1-2 seconds per knockcoming from the interior of scp-087. the door leading to scp-087 has been fitted with 6centimeter thick industrial padding. all reports of knocking have ceased. authorized personnel may refer to documents087-i through 087-iv for transcripts of explorations i - iv.

document #087-i: exploration i d-8432 is a 43-year old caucasian male ofaverage build and appearance and unremarkable psychological background. class-d designationis a result of demotion due to mishandling scp-â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ. d-8432 is equipped with a 75watt flood lamp with battery power capable of lasting 24 hours, a handheld camcorderfitted with a transmission stream, and an audio headset for communication with dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ atcontrol. d-8432 steps through doorway onto initialplatform. despite the wattage, the flood lamp only illuminates the first 9 steps. the secondplatform is not visible. d-8432: it's fucking dark.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: is your flood lamp

functioning properly? d-8432 shines the light out the door and intothe academic building's hallway. the light reaches significantly further. d-8432: yeah, it's working, it just won'tlight these stairs all the way down. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. pleasecontinue. d-8432 descends for 13 steps before reachingthe second platform. the platform is in the shape of a semicircle with an apparently concretesurface and walls. there are no distinct markings, aside from nondescript patches of dust, dirt,or wear consistent with that which is found in a typical concrete stairwell. d-8432 rotates180 degrees to begin descent down the second

flight, then pauses. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: reason for stopping?d-8432: you hear that? there's a fucking kid down there. sounds like one. none of the described audio is feeding throughthe camera or mic at this time. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: could you please describethe sound? d-8432: it's young. either female or a veryyoung boy. it's crying and sobbing and saying [pause] please [pause] help [pause] please[pause] yeah, it keeps repeating that and crying.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: can you estimate its distance from your current location?d-8432: uh, fuck, i don't know, maybe 200

meters down?dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please continue down the next flight. the subject descends another 13 steps. ashe reaches the landing, audio of the child as described is picked up. the child alternatesbetween sobbing, wailing, and the words "please," "help," and "down here." the level of audiois consistent with d-8432's report of it being approximately 200 meters below. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: can you still hearthe crying? d-8432: yeah.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: we're picking it up as well. please continue down. stop if younotice any changes in the audio or environment.

the subject descends another 3 flights ofstairs before stopping. d-8432: keep going?dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please. d-8432 continues another 17 flights (totalof 22 flights) before stopping. there are no visual changes in the environment, andeach flight has been a consistent 13 steps. d-8432: i'm not getting any fucking closerto the kid. stereo audio confirms that the crying noisehas not increased in volume and remains approximately 200 meters below the subject. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: noted. please continue. the subject continues another 28 flights beforestopping. (50 flights total.) d-8432 is standing

on the 51st landing, counting the initialground level landing. d-8432 is estimated to be 200 meters below the initial platform.34 minutes have elapsed. the volume of the crying has not increased. d-8432: i feel a little uneasy.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: you've spent a long time in a dark, unknown stairwell. it's natural.please continue. the subject hesitates before stepping downon the next stair. as the subject moves forward, the flood lamp illuminates a face locatedapproximately at the bottom of the flight (scp-087-1). it appears to be the same sizeand shape as a human head, except it is lacking a mouth, nostrils, and pupils. the face iscompletely motionless, but is making direct

eye contact, indicating its awareness of d-8432. d-8432: [yelling] fuck! what the fuck is that?shit! holy fucking shit. what the fuck! dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: can you please describewhat you see? d-8432: it's some sort of fucking person facething and it's fucking looking right at me fuck fuck fuck it's looking right at me â€”dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: is it moving? d-8432: [pause, heavy breathing] no, it'sjust staring at me. fuck fuck fuck it's creepy. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please approach andfurther illuminate the entity. d-8432: fuck fuck fuck i don't want to fuckingâ€” the face jerks forward about 50 centimetersdirectly toward d-8432.

d-8432: [yelling] fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck [redacted] d-8432 enters a panicked state and rapidlyascends scp-087. d-8432 reaches the ground floor in 18 minutes, at which time he collapsesand passes out. there is no sign of scp-087-1. review of the footage indicates an equal numberof flights and steps ascending as descending. audio of the crying and pleading remains atthe same volume until the last flight, at which point it ceases. medical reports indicatecollapse was a result of the rapid ascension of the stairs, causing fatigue. document #087-ii: exploration iid-9035 is a 28-year old african-american male of strong build. psychological backgroundindicates no abnormalities except an extreme

hatred for women. subject has an extensiverecord of [data expunged]. d-9035 is equipped with a 100 watt flood lamp with battery powercapable of lasting 24 hours, a handheld camcorder fitted with a transmission stream, and anaudio headset for communication with dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ at control. d-9035 is also equipped with a backpackcontaining 75 small led lights with adhesive backs and battery lives of approximately 3weeks. lights turn on and off by compressing them. d-9035 shines the flood lamp down the firstflight of stairs. despite the extra wattage, the light does not illuminate beyond the 9thstep. d-9035: you wan' me to go down there, doc?dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please shine your

flood lamp outside of scp-087 to verify itis functioning properly. d-9035 shines the light into the hallway.comparison with the footage from exploration i confirms it is indeed brighter. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. pleasecontinue to the first landing. d-9035: hey doc, i know what you said an'all, but i don' think i wanna go there. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please continue tothe first landing. d-9035: doc, look, i-dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: [interrupting] as per our earlier conversation, please continueto the first landing. d-9035 pauses for 18 seconds, then descends13 steps to the first landing and stops.

d-9035: is that a kid?dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please remove one of the adhesive lights and affix it to thewall on the landing. d-9035: doc, you hear that? is that a kiddown there? dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: that's unconfirmed.please affix an adhesive light to the wall and verify it functions. d-9035 hesitates, then removes one of thelights from his backpack and adheres it to the wall. he presses on the light, and itturns on. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please turn off yourflood lamp. d-9035 hesitates again before turning offthe lamp. the led light illuminates the landing,

but does not extend beyond the first stepeither way. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. you mayturn your flood lamp back on. please continue to descend. at each landing, affix an ledlight to the wall and turn it on. if you notice anything unusual, please report it. d-9035 turns the flood lamp back on, thendescends the next flight of stairs. as he sets foot on the landing, the audio picksup sounds of pleading and crying, consistent with those of the first exploration. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: can you still hearthe previously reported audio? d-9035: uh, yeah. she sounds 'bout 150, maybe200 meters down. am i supposed to get her?

look, doc. i don't do good with kids.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please place the light and continue down until you notice anythingunusual. the subject adheres the light to the walland turns it on, then continues to the next landing. he adheres the third led light tothe wall and turns it on. d-9035 continues in this manner for the next 25 flights beforestopping. d-9035: i don't think i'm getting any closerto the kid, doc. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: how far below wouldyou estimate the source of the sound to be? d-9035: same as before. 150 to 200 metersdown. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. pleaseproceed.

d-9035 continues in the same fashion for thenext 24 flights. at the 51st landing he stops. footage shows an arced gouge in the concretewall, estimated to be approximately 50 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide. the first stepdown from the landing appears to be completely smashed into rubble. d-9035: you see that?dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: yes. can you please describe what you see?d-9035: looks like something slashed at the wall, and the step over here's all crumbledup and stuff. the slash mark looks really smooth - d-9035 touches the gouge mark.

d-9035: yeah, its smooth. feels like glass.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. please continue down.d-9035: look, doc. i think i've gone far enough. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please continue, asper our agreement. d-9035: i don't wanna be doing this, agreementor not. [data expunged] d-9035 steps over the destroyed step and continuesdown the staircase. nothing is notable at the next landing. d-9035 adheres an led lightto the wall and continues in the same fashion for another 38 flights. the sound of the cryingand pleading still has not gotten closer. d-9035 is on the 89th landing and 74 minuteshave elapsed from the beginning of the exploration.

subject is estimated to be 350 meters belowthe initial platform. d-9035: i feel like the kid's just tryingto lure me down here, doc. i think it's time for me toâ€” d-9035 stops talking and moving as the floodlamp illuminates scp-087-1. the face is staring directly at d-9035, again indicating awarenessof the subject's presence. although scp-087-1 appears to be unmoving, its location is 38flights below the initial encounter in exploration i, indicating it is mobile. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: is there a reasonyou stopped? d-9035: [unresponsive]

d-9035's breathing grows labored. scp-087-1remains immobile for an additional 13 seconds. scp-087-1 blinks. d-9035: [yelling, incomprehensible] scp-087-1 jerks forward until it is approximately90 centimeters from d-9035. subject turns and flees up the stairs. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please relax and calmdown. turn around. we need a closer look at the face. d-9035 ignores dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ andcontinues rapid ascent. he continues to scream incomprehensibly.

dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: d-9035, can you hearme? please slow down. d-9035 is unresponsive and continues rapidlyclimbing the stairs. his screaming diminishes to babbling. after ascending 72 flights, d-9035collapses on the 17th landing. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: d-9035, can you hearme? d-9035 is unresponsive, but labored breathingcan be heard through the audio feed. for the next 14 minutes, d-9035 is immobile. the visualfeed is black, and audio picks up only the subject's breathing and the continuous pleadingcoming from below. after 14 minutes and 32 seconds of unchanging visual and audio feeds,the sound of a rapid heartbeat not consistent with a human heartbeat, and a low crackingnoise is heard. 7 seconds later, d-9035 gasps

and revives, continuing his ascent of thestairs rapidly and wordlessly. the heartbeat and cracking cease, and nothing abnormal isdetected on the visual feed. he remains unresponsive. d-9035 exits scp-087 and sits on the flooroutside of the entrance. d-9035 then enters a catatonic state fromwhich he has not yet recovered. document #087-iii: exploration iiid-9884 is a 23-year old female of average build and appearance. psychological backgroundindicates a history of depression. subject has a minimal record of using excessive forceto [data expunged]. d-9884 is equipped with a 75 watt flood lamp with battery power capableof lasting 24 hours, a handheld camcorder control. d-9884 is also equipped with a backpackcontaining 3.75 litres of water, 15 nutrient

bars, and 1 thermal blanket. d-9884 stands on the ground level landingof scp-087. the flood lamp illuminates only the first 9 steps. led lights placed on thewall during the last exploration are not visible. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please descend thefirst flight and examine the landing wall. d-9884 descends 13 steps and stops at thelanding. there is no trace of the led light at the location footage from exploration iiindicates it was placed. d-9884: yeah, um, it's just a dirty, concretewall. there's like nothing on it. no, wait. it's a little bit sticky right here. d-9884 indicates the spot on the wall theled light should have been located.

d-9884: there's a child crying down there!she's [pause] she's begging for help and crying. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. pleasecontinue down the steps until you notice anything unusual. d-9884 descends. upon reaching the next landing,audio of the crying child consistent with the prior two explorations is picked up. noled lights appear to be present on any of the landing walls. d-9884 continues with noincident until she reaches the 17th landing. d-9884: eww, there's something on the groundhere and it smells really bad. it's all sticky and stuck on my shoe. ugh, it's so gross. video feed confirms presence of substanceoccupying a space approximately 50 centimeters

in diameter. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: can you describe thescent? d-9884: uhâ€¦ it kinda smells like old rustymetal and pee. dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. pleasecontinue until you notice anything else. d-9884 continues to the 51st landing withoutincident. the 51st landing remains unchanged from the previous expedition, and similarobservations are made. d-9884 is asked again to descend until anything unusual is noticed.subject continues her descent until the 89th landing is reached. the video feed jerks andthe subject yells. d-9884: ahh, fuck! there's a hole in the groundand i almost fell in.

video feed confirms the presence of a holeapproximately 1 meter in diameter. the subject shines the floodlight down, revealing onlyblackness. approximately 4 seconds pass, and a light of an indeterminate distance downthe hole flicks on for approximately 2 seconds and then back off. d-9884: there was a light down there! it'sgone now, but it was on for like a second! did you see it?dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: yes. can you estimate the depth of this hole?d-9884: no way. it's too deep. at least a kilometer. like, way more than a kilometer.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: thank you. can you still hear the sounds of the child?d-9884: uh huh. she still sounds far away.

i don't feel like i'm getting any closer.it's like for every step i take, she takes one down.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: please continue down until you encounter anything unusual. d-9884 continues to descend scp-087 for approximatelyan hour, covering an additional 164 flights. she stops to rest on the 253rd landing, consuming1 nutrient bar and several gulps of water. d-9884 is at an estimated 1.1 kilometers belowthe initial landing, yet the sound of the child has not changed in volume. after pausingfor 4 minutes, d-9884 resumes her descent, making no stops for another 216 flights, 1.5hours later. d-9884 is on the 469th landing, an approximate 1.8 km below the ground level.

d-9884: i'm not getting anywhere. i thinkit's time i went back. i mean, going down is one thing, but this is a long climb back.dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ: you have been provided with food, water, and blankets to last you24 hours. please continue down. d-9884: no, i think i'm gonna go back up. d-9884 turns toward the previous flight ofstairs. d-9884: i - [screams] scp-087-1, the face, is directly behind d-9884,blocking her ascent. the face appears approximately 30 centimeters from the lens of the camera;its eyes are fixed directly on the lens, this time looking not at the subject but the personviewing the video feed. the video feed glitches

and freezes for 4 seconds, accompanied bya static-like screeching noise from the audio feed. it then cuts to bumpy visuals of d-9884descending the stairs rapidly. d-9884: [panicked and hysterical] it's beenfollowing me! this whole time it's been right behind me oh god it's right behind me it waslooking right at me! dr. â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ please do something please help me oh god no pleaseget it away please no please i knew it was following me help make it leave please noit was looking at me it was staring at me it knew i was here it's been watching me thiswhole time oh god please help me no please [this continues in a similar fashion untilthe end.] d-9884 continues to scream and plead hystericallyas she rapidly descends the staircase. the

previously heard static-like screeching seemsto overlay the audio feed, beneath which can still be heard the original sound of the cryingchild. approximately 14 flights down, the video feed swings to show the area directlybehind d-9884. the face is now approximately 20 centimeters from the camera lens. it isnot staring at the subject; rather it is fixated on the camera lens, giving the illusion itis making eye contact with those viewing the footage. it is important to note that sincethe sighting of scp-087-1, the sound of the girl crying and pleading has been increasingin volume, indicating d-9884 is nearing the source. after an approximate 150 panickedflights of descent with 3 visual confirmations of scp-087-1 still in pursuit, d-9884 tripsand appears to fall unconscious. audio feed

indicates strong proximity to the source ofthe crying. the static and screeching noise continue. video feed shows yet another descendingflight of stairs, indicating d-9884 still has not reached the base of the stairwell.12 seconds of motionlessness pass before the face comes in full view of the camera, eyecontact being made directly with the viewer. audio and video feeds cut out, and no connectionis reestablished.
