SCP Foundation

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. :)

+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

Making classic poltergeist activity a side-effect of a bacterial (kind of) infestation is neat, but not ultimately interesting enough for an upvote.

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.

So LSD-DE mold edition? Eh, novote.

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.
