It wasn't a threat, so we left it alone
That's how the Greeks defeated the Trojans. What if there were Spartans in that house? 🤦♂️
The most unbelievable thing about this story is that the US military saw something that wasn't a threat and left it alone
Why? They aren't cops!
Well, they believe that they are the world police.
There wasn't any oil in it.
The pacific garbage patch is getting out of control.
And you still can't afford the down payment.
Item #: SCP-4974
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-4974 is currently adrift in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,300 km southwest of Hawaii. Due to its unpredictable movements and the absence of propulsion, satellite surveillance via Orbital Tracking Array Delta-12 is to remain active at all times. No direct approach is to be made without O5 clearance. Naval units encountering SCP-4974 are to maintain a distance of no less than 5 km and report visual contact immediately.
Any civilian reports regarding a “floating house” are to be intercepted and discredited via standard disinformation protocols (“maritime hallucination” narrative).
Description:
SCP-4974 is a single-story manufactured home of unknown origin, structurally consistent with prefabricated housing models from the early 2000s. SCP-4974 is capable of sustained buoyancy and locomotion without any observable propulsion system. It does not appear to be affected by ocean currents or prevailing winds and exhibits irregular movement patterns across the Pacific Ocean.
Interior scans reveal standard furniture placement, though all appliances appear to be non-functional and lack any power source. Despite this, observers at a distance of over 1 km report seeing lights flickering on and off within SCP-4974 and silhouettes of humanoid figures in the windows. Upon closer inspection (within 100 meters), the interior appears completely vacant, and the anomalous lights cease.
Notable Incident:
On ██/██/20██, a U.S. Navy vessel encountered SCP-4974 during a routine patrol. Initial reports classified it as debris. Upon visual inspection, crew reported observing movement within the structure. Due to the lack of any threat response and confusion about jurisdiction, the structure was left uninvestigated. Foundation agents embedded within the Navy intercepted the incident logs and began tracking SCP-4974.
Addendum 4974-A:
Excerpt from crew debrief:
“Looked like a house, just… floating there. No engine, no sails. Lights would flicker, but there wasn’t a sound. Like the ocean didn’t touch it. One of the guys swore he saw someone watching us from the window. But when we circled back, it was dark. Empty. Like it had always been.”
Hypothesis:
Some researchers theorize SCP-4974 may be a spatial or dimensional anchor, phasing intermittently between multiple states of occupancy. Its purpose, if any, remains unknown.
You need to post this into the SCP-wiki my man.
This is really good!
Btw, SCP-4974 is actually Pikachu. SCP wiki link
That is so funny, I thought about checking if they got up that high. It’s been awhile since I’ve read some of them haha
Beautiful! I love SCPs that are just some weird, vaguely threatening, but otherwise unaggressive bit of mystery. Too many authors try to make every scp a barely contained keter-class global threat.
It's his sled. It was his sled from when he was a kid. There, I just saved you two long boobless hours.
You should seriously start writing some SCPs! This is awesome and it feels so close to what the originals used to be
Thanks, I’ve always wanted to write them actually and used to put them in my notes app all the time
I think I’ll get back into that actually!
Well you did an amazing job! If you start posting them somewhere shoot me a reply!
Yes.
It is such a horrifying entity that even digitally compressed rasterized photographs cause any intelligent being to perceive SCP-4974 as a house. Efforts to split up raw photographs through automated computer scripts in order to analyze piecemeal portions of the image still yield portions of images of a house, indicating even incomplete digital copies themselves may be intelligent. So far, the only proof that SCP-4974 is not in fact a house is its persistence through storms and water damage that should have destroyed it long ago.
That's cool.
When I was an intelligence analyst in the military I witnessed the President of the United States ignore the entire intelligence community when they indicated to him that there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attacks and there was no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq.
Then I saw that same administration fabricate intelligence indicating the contrary
Then I saw that same administration blame faulty intelligence when no WMDs were found, blaming the entire intelligence community in the process
They somehow managed to ruin the entire IC's credibility when they were right to begin with
That was pretty unbelievable
no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attacks
I was a kid during all that, but my recollection is they didn't directly try to claim that he did? It just seemed like the country was swept up in the patriotic "glass the middle east" fever and went with it because murica fuck yeah, and it was part of the GWOT, but the messaging was all "evil dictator wmds etc." and not "saddam did 9/11." Though I was probably in high school before I could even articulate the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan, so I could be mistaken.
9/11 and Iraq: The making of a tragedy
Twenty years after the al-Qaida attack on September 11, 2001, the United States is still involved in a war in Iraq that it started. President George W. Bush was obsessed with the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and deliberately misled the American people about who was responsible for the 9/11 attack.
Afterward, Bandar told me privately that the Saudis were very worried about where Bush’s obsession with Iraq was going. The Saudis were alarmed that attacking Iraq would only benefit Iran and set in motion severe destabilizing repercussions across the region.
New headcanon, Bush knew the Saudis were behind 9/11 and invaded Iraq specifically to fuck them over. /s
Interesting read though. The 80% number believing Iraq was involved is not surprising to me, I just didn't realize the bush admin actually pushed that narrative.
Bush 100% knew the Saudis were behind it, so not sarcasm.
The US wanted a base in the Middle East that wasn’t SA, and Iraq was an easy target. They didn’t care about destabilization. That was a perk. It was all about force projection from a central base.
Yeah, it was crazy times.
When I was an American I witnessed an obvious Russian agent get elected... twice, and destroy the standing of the US completely.
It is also unbelievable that the hundreds of thousands of dead in a war built on a lie in Iraq pales in comparison to the millions around the world that will die because of Trump's cuts to USAID alone
Trump can kill off millions without even starting a war on false pretenses
Like his own personal global Holodomor
Again.
Hey can kill millions again. This will be the second time he has caused the death of millions.
Truth
I was there when they put that guy on a rope. Wild times indeed.
This sounds like the start of a SCP file
Just have to add that from a distance they had noticed lights coming off and on and what seemed to be figures in the windows, but when they got a closer look it was totally empty.
While the ship is near the house, the crew reports finding an endless number of letters, tickets and citations from a homeowner's association, all stashed in drawers, lockers and folders around the ship. The captain's report on the incident contained three separate documents alleging violations of HOA rules regarding lawn maintenance and garbage can placement, which he claims had not been in the report when he logged it.
Evil. This genuinely gave me chills.
Boom, 2 comment SCP done and dusted
Just a double-decker couch, nothing to worry about.
That house could be yours for $750,000.
Ocean ~~front~~ middle property
Realtor: "It's ocean front on 4 sides!" Potential buyer: "So, it's on an island?" Realtor: "Not really, no."
it's more like a houseboat! It is nice!
SELL THEIR HOUSES TO WHO, BEN?!
reminded me of this gem

They’re cooking meth in it
Vote conservative, and in just a couple of years, this could be your house!
My house? That's preposterous, this certainly couldn't happen to my house!
(Because I don't own a house and doubt I ever will)
My house? In the middle of the sea??
