Anomalies

Anomaly is a general term that is used to refer all kinds of strange, mysterious, paranormal, and supernatural phenomena in the SCP Universe. Anomalies are poorly-understood scientific mysteries, often considered to be extremely abnormal aberrations which defy all the known laws of nature and reality, at least in regards to what more skeptical people consider to be "natural" and "real".

Anomalies include living beings and creatures, artifacts and objects, locations and places, abstract concepts, and incomprehensible entities which display supernatural abilities or other extremely unusual properties. They remain mostly unexplained by modern mainstream science, and their existence is mostly unknown to the majority of humans on Earth; but are better known by the SCP Foundation and other paranormal organizations, which all hold a strong interest in anomalous affairs for their own purposes. The Foundation in particular is known for their extensive database of anomalies, each of which are catalogued as "SCPs" (short for "Special Containment Procedures").
