To Secure. Protect. Contain - by Renzatic

We definitely need to speculate on the nature of that stairwell. What is with this crying child? Is it really a child or perhaps the ghost of one? Why is it luring people down there?
Also, imagine how the faceless face climbed all the stairs up and down, peeling LEDs from the walls, muttering curses about its lack of pockets. And why did it revive the one fellow? Maybe it's just a very cleanly ghost that doesn't like crap lying around and sticking to the walls of it's stairwell? The ghost of a cleaning lady perhaps? Perhaps she wouldn't seem so unfriendly if one chatted her up, eg about that filthy flat share on the -475th floor, who always have at least 2 empty beer crates next to their door. Or the cat lady on -212 who smells like shoe polish. In any case, she won't be delighted if we keep sending bums down her stairwell, right? And you always want to be in good agreement with the cleaning lady.
Yeah, but that crying child, something needs to be done about that. Someone should call the youth welfare office or something. Anyway, gotta be on my way. Later.

Well on most (faked most likely-scratch that, they're all faked) ghost hunters TV programs the caller asking for help is held at the same apparent distance from the listener anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me if the listener is the source itself of the voice, as a receiver, amplifier or a human radio.
You can't pinpoint it with that "method".
And yes I have experienced several ESP/ghostly stuff witnessed by several people around me.
Probably I'm the source.
Containment is needed here!!!!

I'd agree with people convincing themselves and others somethings going on, or even maybe ESP (although I'm skeptical. what sensors are you using?), but I'd like to make it very plain that ghosts do not actually exist.

Also, they're not all gems. Some are just too dryly written, and some artifacts aren't even interesting.
In the event that such things actually existed, you would invariably have some that were bordering on the mundane.

Oh yeah? Well every morning there is a small ghost about midway down the sheets that won't go away until I get up to pee. So HA!
Not real small you understand.

That is some secret you actually want to keep contained, away from the wimmenz that is. Once they learn the mundane mechanism behind morning wood they lose all respect of the mythical power you're wielding at your body's center. Had such a case and had to terminate it. Some secrets are best left unexplained. :(

Ah yes, procedure 110 mantackle.

Per recommendations I read the infinite stairwell. Honestly can't really see what the fuss is all about, and that's from someone who would class The Ring as a scary film
Gosh, you classed a movie as scary that most people classed as scary? What a rebel you are.
I should stress again that pretty much all the entries are written with the content ordered from least to most interesting. Think of it like telling a joke-- the field reports and researcher comments at the very bottom are usually the punchline.
For example, the (

http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-914) experiment log page. For example:

Setting: Fine
Output: A stack of US counterfeit currency , composed of stand paper and printed by #2 pencil lead. The currency totals to the exact cost of the requested order, plus tax.
Input: A sheet of 8.5x11in printing paper with the instructions “I would like a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. No pickles, no onions. Large order of fries, and a medium Pepsi” handwritten in #2 pencil by Dr. ██████
Setting: Very Fine
Output: A single sheet of 8.5x11 in paper, with a series of symbols inscribed upon it which do not correspond to any known system of writing. Subjects viewing the symbols describe a sudden and intense desire for a cheeseburger.
Given the huge number of SCP entries, it's probably best to start with the top-rated pages link in the sidebar.
