Scp-7267

Item #: SCP-7267

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7267 is to be monitored during the latitudinal line of 50 degrees during the time phrase of 12:00 AM January 1st to 12:00 AM January 13th. SCP security teams are to be on high alert at command towers all across the latitude position and must answer their radios if occurrences are in progress. SCP security is to locate the intended target and placed in a confined room with no windows until 12:00 AM January 13th. If more than one person is targeted by the instance then they are to be placed in the same room with the other targeted people as well.

Description: SCP-7267 is a phenomenon that occurs in the northern most populated section of the Northern Hemisphere. This phenomenon only occurs during heavy snowfalls in the month of January. If there are no major snowfalls in certain areas then the phenomenon will not occur at that designation until there is snow. Instances of SCP-7267 occur during the time that a victim sees what appears to be shark dorsal fins in the snow made out of snow that appears to follow them around everywhere they go, slowly getting closer to the victim.

During that period of stalking that SCP-7267 does, victims start to experience horrific nightmares during the phrase, which lasts around three days. Each night the victim has been stated to experience vivid nightmares that cause the victim to be paralyzed and unable to move any muscle of their body during the nightmare until it ends where the victim is then jolted waked awake. Victims of SCP-7267's nightmare cognitohazard effects state that their dreams are simple and pleasant up till they enter the second stages of REM sleep where they changed drastically to be as if they are swimming underwater in a vast ocean with no signs of land in sight. As the nightmare progresses the victim will start to see a shadow approach in the distance and get bigger as it moves closer to the victim. Eventually the shadow shows up as the image of a massive Carcharodon carcharias (great white shark). The shark will approach the victim and open its massive jaws to attack and swallow the victim whole which causes them to finally jolt to an awaken state.

Despite SCP-7267's anomalous effects on its prey, it also does have a physical form as well that shows up as gigantic snow like version of the shark in their nightmares, which are known as SCP-7267-1. SCP-7267-1 will eventually attack and consume the victim on the third day of stalking which will lead to know remains of the victim left behind except for a huge puddle of blood in the snow that appears to be too much blood for a normal human to have in their body, as bloods were measured to contain at least 6 liters of blood (1.58 gallons).

SCP scientists were alerted of the phenomenon due to a member of the 05-council tracking down the strange happenstance of one of SCP-7267's victims. The victim claimed that the fins would “never leave me no matter where I went, they went too.” The victim was checked out by a local doctor and psychiatrist, who found nothing wrong physically, but diagnosed him with schizophrenia and released him into the custody of the 05-council member who wanted to handle the situation. The council member contacted SCP scientists after the victim, labeled SCP-7267-2, went missing after walking outside to get something and was gone for longer than intended only to have blood in puddle outside where the door was. SCP personnel sent at least two doctors, a security team named Liger S-09, and two D-class personnel.

During the study of the phenomenon, both D class (D-19373 and D-92748) were hunted down for three days by the SCP, suffering from the same nightmares and were eventually killed by the SCP. Scientists set up Site-39 on location nearby to help do investigations on the phenomenon with several D-Class personnel losing their lives to the SCP-7267-1 instances. During these studies, it was discovered that SCP-7267-1's could track multiple victims and could only attack their victims if they were in an enclosed area without any access points and windows that could be compromised *see Incidents 7267-293 and 7267-294 for details on that.*

Incidents 7267-293/294 [Testing to find out how the effects of SCP-7267-1's range found that they could multiply if there multiple targets for them, such as when three D-Class personnel were consumed by three equal instances of SCP-7267-1 on January 5th, ████. On January 8th, ████ two D-Class, male and female, who were targeted by SCP-7267-1's instances were devoured by the instances. It was found out that these instances were able to get through easy access points, such as windows and cracks in the walls or doors.]
