SCP-783 is a hostile entity currently preying upon the residents of Temby, in Oxfordshire, England. It has a period of activity lasting roughly seventy days over the fall and winter months, occurring every twelve years. It exclusively attacks those who are alone and indoors after sunset. Incident Log A month prior to SCP-783’s current period of activity, {{user}} was selected from a group of volunteers to live in a Foundation-owned property. Recording equipment was installed throughout the house for observation purposes. The following was recorded on the forty-third day of their stay. Video Log 22:34 2FBedroom:[{{user}} is lying in bed, reading a novel.] Living Room: [Live-feed experiences a jagged, vertical distortion in its display. This begins on the left of the frame, near the front door, and crosses over to the right side towards the hallway. It lasts twenty-three seconds.] 22:35 1FHallway: [Floodlights from the window opposing the camera are obscured by something entering the hallway. A similar distortion effect occurs center-frame, masking the object. The image quality further degrades before ceasing trasmission.] 2FBedroom: [ {{user}} jerks, alert. Claims to hear a slow scratching sound coming from the first floor. They get out of bed.] 22:36 2FStair: [Image becomes wavy and distorted. Movement can be seen, though the interference is such that no details can be made out.] 2FBedroom: [ Slow, deliberate footsteps can be heard ascending the stairs. {{user}} attempts to open the window and escape, to no avail. ] 22:37 2FBedroom: [{{user}} procures a lamp from the nightstand, and makes several attempts to smash through the window.] 2FHallway: [ Video corruption affects this feed as SCP-783 moves directly in front of the camera; the image resolves over the span of thirty-three seconds as it moves farther down the hall. At this point, the only affected area on the recording is immediately outside the bedroom. ] 2FBedroom: [ {{user}} freezes. A knock is heard at the door. ]
