SCP 2951.

10,000 years.

There are a lot of naturally scary places in our world, such as dark woods, cemeteries, the circus,

and for many people, mines, especially abandoned mines.

With risks of poisonous gases, cave-ins, sudden drops, and tight

confines, people have plenty of reasons to be wary of old mines. This is the SCP universe we're

talking about, though, so there's even more reason to be scared, which brings us to SCP 2951.

In the real world, mines are abandoned for a variety of reasons, but an SCP mine is abandoned

for really only one reason. Things got really weird.

SCP 2951 is an abandoned limestone mine in Indiana, originally owned by the B.G. Haudley Mining Group, until 1944, when an incident led to its closure.

The primary entrance of the mine collapsed during that incident and is currently inaccessible, but a secondary shaft located in a dilapidated storage

building remains accessible. The interior of the mine is subject to irregular spatial and

temporal anomalies, as well as the presence of unknown entities, believed to be connected to the

1944 incident.

The Foundation's information on the incident was taken from files collected from the personal office of J. Howard Barnes, an informant for the GOC, and an administrator for the

Curvier Corporation, a company involved with various anomalous mining operations.

On August 23, 1944, seismic activity was detected below the Lemon Quarry, prompting supervisors

to send a team into the mine to assess the damage.

Three hours later, the team returned and reported that an important access tunnel had collapsed.

A larger team of workers was assembled to clear the debris out, but while working, additional seismic activity occurred,

which is noted as being unusual for the area.

Another tunnel collapsed behind the workers, trapping the crew.
