Another thing I dug out of my sandbox that I'd abandoned for some reason.

So poltergeist mold?
You misuse "immolation" which is a pointless pet peeve of mine, and probably totally a lost cause besides, but I feel compelled to point it out. So disregard the previous sentence. Thank You. :)
The idea is that it's a "mold" that eats ghosts, which causes the ghosts to get upset. The ghosts usually try to make people get rid of the mold.
What would be the appropriate word?

Ah, clever.
What would be the appropriate word?
Burning? Incineration? Conflagration? "Immolate" used to mean "offer up as a religious sacrifice", but really it probably just means "burn in a fire" nowadays, anyway.
Eh, one word is as good as another. I'll make a few substitutions.
EDIT: Done.

It's an instance of evolution of language. The "destroy by fire" use is common enough that various dictionaries list it as an acceptable definition. There are other words that have similar meanings that can often be better replacements, but it works.
Yes, that is what I acknowledged. It is a pet peeve and as I said probably does mean "burn in a fire" nowadays.
+1 for good writing and angry ghosts, but mostly the ghosts.
Should SCP-2526 be located anywhere outside of containment, it is to sterilized under the pretext of mold removal.
I assume this is missing a "be" in the second clause.
Otherwise this is a nice SCP with an interesting story +1
Changed the second image to be less obviously fake-looking. Same source image.

I got a nice old-school SCP vibe from this, and although it didn't rock my world I did like it enough to want to see it around on the site. I didn't quite get what you were going for, but after seeing what your intent was I quite liked it.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Apparently that's "LSD: Dream Emulator", but I have no idea how it relates to this article.

Ohhhh. The ghosts only mess with you if you haven't seen the mold, because they want people to get rid of it. And this manifests after a certain time (instead of a certain amount of mold) because it's not a property of the mold, it's a reaction to it.
I like it. It's simple, and there's nothing wrong with that. The spores growing in one researcher's home, presumably to live off of ghosts that follow him around, was a nice touch.
Now I'm wondering if ghosts are a renewable resource. If the Foundation successfully prevents any more deaths at this thing's containment facility, will the mold eventually consume all the ghosts it can reach from there? If so… what happens then? o.o
(There are several other articles that refer to Site-44, mostly in ways that aren't compatible with this article's description… but a cursory search for other site designations indicates that this is hardly unusual. Up to you if you want to change it.)
Shouldn't this have the fungus tag?
ETA: I am 99% sure it should, so I added it.
