A 2008 repost of the original SCP-173 post.

Status: Lost


The SC Foundation is a well known creative writing website and creepypasta series about an organization that contains paranormal entities.[1] The website originated from SCP-173, a post made to the /x/ forum of 4chan in 2007. [1] The post contained the supposed containment procedures of a statue that could move and attack people when not looked at. 4chan routinely deletes old posts, to the original post is long lost. However, the text and picture used in the post were saved.[2]

The oldest extant text of SCP-173 is from a forum post made on June 22, 2007 at 12:33 PM Greenwich Mean Time (or 8:33 AM Eastern Standard Time).[3] The author of 173 posted under the username “USS Walrus”.[4] He initially planned to make a new SCP post every week, but lost internet access for a week and a half and forgot about the SCP Foundation until many years later. [4] In other words, the original author did not repost SCP-173.
