SCP 783 CROOKED MAN

VIDEO LOG

---

22:34

2F Bedroom: [ D-209 is lying upright 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 approximately twenty-three seconds. ]

22:35

1F Hallway: [ 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. ]

1F Hallway - Distortion can be seen to the left of the frame, as SCP-783 enters from the living room.

2F Bedroom: [ D-209 jerks upright, alert. Claims to hear a slow prolonged scratching sound coming from the first floor. He begins to get up out of bed. ]

---

Note: [ SCP-783 manifestation confirmed. Visual distortion taken to be an indicator of SCP-783's physical placement within the house. ]

22:36

2F Stair: [ Image becomes wavy and distorted. Movement can be seen, though the interference is such that no details can be made out. ]

2F Bedroom: [ Slow, deliberate footsteps can be heard ascending the stairs. D-209 attempts to open the window and escape, to no avail. ]

22:37

2F Bedroom: [ D-209 procures a small lamp from the nightstand, and makes several attempts to smash through the window. ]

2F Hallway: [ Sudden 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. ]

2F Bedroom: [ D-209 freezes. A knock is heard at the door. ]

22:38

2F Bedroom: [ D-209 approaches the door, wielding the lamp as a cudgel. He asks for the individual at the door to identify themselves, receiving no response. He then asks Control if any personnel were able to gain entry. Observing personnel maintain radio silence. D-209 braces himself, and grasps the doorknob with his free hand. D-209 throws the door open. ]

Note: [ A loud snapping noise is heard throughout the house. All light bulbs on the premises burst simultaneously, including floodlights focused on the property. ]

22:40

2F Bathroom: [ Once the camera adjusts to low-light conditions, SCP-783 comes into view. It is near the open door to the hallway, motionless. ]

2F Bedroom: [ D-2₀9 is screaming, clutching his right arm. It has been fractured just above the elbow, and dangles freely. It is observed to swiftly harden, presumably due to rapid bone growth. D-209 shouts his intent to escape with his life, and charges from the room. ]

22:41

2F Hallway: [ As D-2₀9 runs past the bathroom, a loud snapping noise is heard. D-209 falls to the ground, and screams for assistance. He reports that his leg had been broken. ]

---

Note [ Video corruption instantly begins to affect the kitchen as the sound is made, ceasing in the bathroom. ]

22:45

2F Hallway: [ D-2₀9 is able to bring himself to a stand. He displays his right arm for the camera, which has been broken below the elbow. It is angled in the opposite direction from the previous fracture. D-209 curses observing personnel, but reports that his pain has mostly subsided. He limps towards the stairs. ]

2F Stair: [ While trying to navigate the stairs, D-2₀9 trips and falls. Twelve loud snaps are heard in rapid succession. Upon coming to rest, D-209 exhibits several more fractures in various places along each limb. He screams as they set, and spasms on the landing. ]

23:14

2F Stair: [ D-2₀9 begins to ambulate. He struggles to crawl, eventually passing out-of-frame. ]

23:26

1F Living Room: [ D-209 can be seen, dragging himself into the room. He strains, moving with great difficulty due to his cumbersome limbs. Each arm is estimated to be over two meters in length, with several inflexible breaks that inhibit motion around obstacles. ]

1F Kitchen: [ SCP-783 de-manifests. Visual feed clears. ]

23:31

1F Living Room:: [ D-209 occupies the majority of the living room. His lower legs stretch out-of-frame into the hallway. He has a hand on the knob of the front door, but the length of his fingers impairs the dexterity required to manipulate it. A scratching sound is audible in the hallway. D-2₀9 expresses distress immediately before being dragged backwards forcibly, and off-camera. He begins to scream. ]

---

Note: [ SCP-783 and D-209 remain in the hallway for the duration of the night. Snapping is heard intermittently. D-209 ceases screaming at 04:27.

At 05:01, a wet suckling noise can be heard, followed by rapid thumping. ]

Incident 783.1

Concurrent with the noises heard at 05:01 during the D-209 trial, all twenty-seven living victims in Foundation care went into seizure. Despite the fact that the majority were brain-dead or wholly paralyzed, they convulsed for several minutes. Two present researchers were injured during the incident. Life-support systems for several patients were compromised, killing five. A vast quantity of earth was disturbed on the outskirts of town during this time.
