Harry S. Plinkett Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) SCP-513: To Ring or not to Ring? A brief experiment, submitted for your peer review by Associate Researcher Charlie Kelly Heinrich H. Amsel SCP-513 Physically, SCP-513 is an unremarkable, rusty cowbell. No marks or engravings are visible on its surface due to the large amount of corrosion. Attempts to remove the rust chemically or mechanically have had no success.* When SCP-513 is rung, a humanoid entity henceforth referred to as SCP-513-1 appears, only to those who have heard the bell. Descriptions of SCP-513-1 are varied, however this is believed to be the result of the significant mental decline of those who can see it. SCP-513-1 will "stalk" it's targets, causing considerable mental distress, leading to depression, insomnia, paranoia, and madness. In all but one case, this results in the suicide of the target. SCP-513-1 is to be apprehended if such a possibility ever presents itself. Thesis It is presumed that SCP-513 might have some effect on people, to which they may be drawn to it at first. This can be tested by bringing a D Class man or woman into the containment chamber, and close them in for five minutes, without giving them any indication what to do, to see if they will ring SCP-513. Testing D-■■■■ was taken from D Block in Site-■■ to the holding location of SCP-513, told to wait, and closed in the cell. Ear protection was taken by me, and my accompanying GenSec escort, and we waited for some time. After the five minutes have passed, we opened the cell. D-■■■■ immediately ran out from the cell and needed to be apprehended and restrained. D-■■■■ has stated that he had rang SCP-513, and expressed confusion as to why we were so comfortable around "that thing". D-■■■■ refused to comment on why he rang the bell. Interrogation revealed that he was "just bored, okay?". D-■■■■ was given amnestics and returned to D Block. He later reported ill to the onsite medical team, and was taken for a psychological evaluation. Subject self-terminated three days later. Conclusion Unfortunately, the idea was inconclusive, given the laboratory setting did not account for the impulses one feels in sensory deprivation. Further study is necessary.
