SCP-████ - The Shadow of Whispering Valley

Object Class: Keter

Description:
SCP-████, aptly known as "The Shadow of Whispering Valley," defies the boundaries of horror with its grotesque form. From the waist down, it mimics humanity, a deceptive guise that soon gives way to sheer terror. The flesh transforms into an abyssal black, an inky void that seems to consume all surrounding light. Hovering around this eldritch entity are ethereal orbs, their malevolent blue glow pulsating with a haunting energy.

The face of SCP-████ is a nightmarish canvas of horror. A skeletal mask, desiccated and leathery, grins malevolently. The mouth, stitched shut with the artistry of an exorcist's practiced hand, barely allows for the escape of a sinister murmur. Blackened teeth, like shards of obsidian, pierce through the confines of the sealed maw. The eyes, or rather the vacant hollows that should contain them, hold only two spectral orbs, drifting aimlessly within the inky depths.

Containment Procedures:
The containment of SCP-████ demands the utmost caution. Encased within a fortified chamber at Site-██, the entity is kept at bay by the incessant hum of electromagnetic field generators. These generators disrupt the unnatural dance of the electrified orbs, essential to maintaining the precarious balance that separates SCP-████ from the world beyond. Personnel entering the containment zone must wear full ████████████████, and undergo rigorous psychological evaluation post-interaction, for the entity has displayed a penchant for insidious telepathic manipulation.

Addendum:
SCP-████'s sinister capabilities extend beyond its corporeal form. It has exhibited telepathic prowess, weaving hallucinatory landscapes of horror within the minds of those unlucky enough to cross its path. Extreme vigilance is imperative during any interaction or study involving SCP-████, for its malevolent whispers and eldritch influence linger long after the encounter, etching the fabric of fear into the minds of those who dare to comprehend the unspeakable.

The Shadow of Whispering Valley:

The Shadow of Whispering Valley was discovered in 1972, when reports of strange disappearances and eerie noises led to the investigation of a small town located deep in the Oregon mountains. As locals began to report seeing a hideous entity stalking the streets and terrorizing their children, researchers were dispatched to investigate. Upon arriving on site, researchers quickly determined that the small town had been overrun by an anomalous entity of unknown origin, which soon came to be known as the Shadow of Whispering Valley.
Over the course of the next few weeks, the town was quarantined and researchers worked to gain a better understanding of the Shadow's nature. As they delved deeper into the town's history, researchers discovered that the entity had been present for at least a generation, and that the townsfolk had grown accustomed to its presence. However, as they continued their investigation, they uncovered new details that painted a darker picture: the Shadow was more than merely an anomaly.
Despite its unsettling appearance, the Shadow had done little to harm the town's inhabitants, preferring to watch and observe, rather than cause outright harm. But researchers soon discovered the price the town had been paying in exchange for its apparent safety. Rather than acting directly, the Shadow manipulated the town's inhabitants, implanting horrific visions into their minds and driving them to act on their deepest fears and insecurities.
By doing so, the Shadow not only fed on the resulting violence and hatred, but also disrupted the town's unity and strength, weakening the community's ability to resist its influence. This insidious manipulation had a devastating effect on the town, resulting in numerous deaths, suicides, and severe mental illness. Over the course of the subsequent decades, the entity's influence grew stronger and stronger, resulting in a cycle of violence and misery that consumed the entire town.

In the spring of 1972, the Shadow appeared to a young man named Daniel Carter as he was walking through the woods near his home. Daniel was startled by the sudden appearance of the strange entity, with its skeletal face and eerie glowing eyes. The Shadow remained silent, but its gaze was intense and unsettling. As Daniel tried to make sense of what he was seeing, he heard a soft whisper drifting in from every direction at once.
The Shadow's intense gaze made Daniel feel vulnerable, and the whispers he could hear made it clear that the entity was trying to communicate with him. Despite Daniel's attempts to remain calm, he felt a deep sense of unease growing within him, as if the Shadow was trying to dig deep into his mind, seeking out his darkest secrets.
The Shadow leaned in closer, its mouth stitched shut but its eyes still searingly bright, and Daniel felt compelled to stare back into its abyssal eyes. As he did, Daniel felt an overwhelming wave of dread wash over him. The Shadow's eyes seemed to reach further and further into his soul, probing deeper and deeper into his deepest fears.
Fear gripped Daniel, and he felt his breath grow shorter, and his heart beat faster. He tried to look away but was unable to break the entity's piercing gaze, and the whispers grew louder and louder until they were all that could be heard.

Daniel's body was discovered a week later by a hiker.

In the police report, the coroner couldn't believe it was Daniel from the state of the corpse. His eyes were solid black, and his entire body desiccated. The coroner estimated to be in such a state of decay it would take a minimum of a year. Nothing could explain the eyes.

The Shadow's unsettling appearance and the strange disappearance of Daniel Carter quickly sparked rumors of a sinister entity within the town. As the rumors spread, more and more people reported strange encounters with the Shadow, but as strange as the reports were, they always seemed to end the same way: with the unfortunate individual simply vanishing. Local authorities were unable to explain the disappearances and were growing increasingly concerned by the mounting evidence of a hostile entity, but it was not until the Shadow was discovered to have made its way beyond the town's borders that the Foundation came calling.
