Screaming Heads

Some of the "Screaming Heads" at SCP-XXX.

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be surrounded by a 3 meter tall barbed wire fence and have regular patrols, reporting and repairing any breaks in the fence. The property is stationary, and the stone figures haven't shown any method of locomotion. As such, efforts must be made to keep civilians out of the approximate area of effect. Security personnel are to be dressed as Algonquin Tribal Police and tell intruders they're trespassing on an Algonquin reservation and ask them to leave. Any intruders refusing to leave are to be brought in for questioning, given an amnesiac and then released if nothing usefull can be learned from them.

Description: SCP-XXX is a tract of land in ████'█ █████, Canada. previously owned by art teacher █████ ██████, a large portion of the property is covered in large, concrete depictions of screaming heads. Each head has the name and date of death of a deceased person who had, at one point or another, visited the property. Heads bearing the name of someone who commit suicide come out disfigured in some manner.
The anomalous nature of SCP-XXX is the manner in which the concrete heads are created. At the time of a past visitor's death, a new head will appear somewhere on the property. The new structure usually appears in a place not currently being observed, and as such, a new head has not appeared near the fence or observation posts since the property came under Foundation control. In cases like the "Fields of Suicides," where similar deaths seem to group together, longer standing observation has been instated. In these cases, new heads seem to appear between frames of security footage, or in the blink of an eye.

History: ██████ moved onto the property in the summer of ████, with the intention of using it as a retreat for his art students. After his wife died, a concrete head bearing her name appeared, seemingly over night. Exploring the woods on the property further, he found evidence of hundreds, maybe thousands of the heads that had been partially and sometimes almost completely destroyed, names and dates illegible in most cases. It soon became a tourist attraction, with ██████ claiming to provide a service to recently deceased by encasing their ashes in the heads and erecting them as a long standing monument.
The Foundation caught wind after a legal battle broke out when a man who's young daughter's name had appeared on a head. The man claimed he and his family had only ever visited the property once, and had never spoken to the owner. Foundation personnel brought ██████ in for questioning. After some coercion he admit he only had built a handful of the heads himself, and offered to mark those from the ones that sprung up by unknown means. The artist was given amnesiac and released back into society. The Foundation fabricated a story that the land was now being set aside for a group of Local Algonquin as a reservation.

One of the areas, dubbed "Field of Suicides" by personnel.
