The SCP Foundation Investigation.

This ‘Field Journal’ was found abandoned in a cafe in Geelong by a member of the public on 17/09/2020. The cafe owners handed the journal into their local Police Station. Due to the concerning nature of the content contained within it, Leading Senior Constable Ashmore made the decision to escalate the issue to their ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) liaison.

ASIO’s official stance is that the journal is a hoax, a fabrication, a work of fiction, and that the case is closed: “The SCP Foundation does not exist. There are no organisations involved in such well-organised international clandestine operations.”

I know, however, that ASIO’s investigation is ongoing with TS/SCI-Umbra Security Clearance, a clearance reserved for credible and certain Level 5 National Terrorism Threats. They want to bury this – no one can know.

There are many things in this world that exist but cannot be seen. Visible light is one tiny sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see. Take heat for example; we feel its presence in sunlight, or when near a fire. We cannot physically see the phenomenon, but we feel its effects, we feel its presence.

Ghosts are energial remnants that are in another plane of existence; they have a different electromagnetic presence. Even though we may not be able to see the energy of a ghost directly, we can observe its indirect effects, or see its presence by measuring changes in infrared energy.
