SCP-265

SCP-265 SCP-265 is a black Volga that keeps appearing on rural roads in Poland, usually at night. It looks immaculate regardless of where it's been, with white-rimmed wheels and no plates or identifying marks. Sometimes witnesses see curtains over the windows. Nobody seems to be driving it. A lot of the encounters start with the kind of thing that would already bother you without anything supernatural happening. A car follows someone walking alone between villages. It sits at the end of a driveway with its headlights pointed at the house. Somebody hears an engine outside long enough to finally go look. The details don't always stay consistent. Sometimes it's completely silent. Sometimes it's loud. Sometimes it leaves tire marks, and sometimes there's nothing. It usually moves at an ordinary road speed, but there are records of it exceeding 400 kilometers per hour. So getting ahead of it in another car isn't necessarily going to help. The Foundation tries a proper pursuit after it appears outside a weather station. Four off-road vehicles and a helicopter go after it. The car accelerates past 200 kilometers per hour, maneuvers in ways they can't explain, and disappears into dense woodland. The search turns up no vehicle, but it does find incomplete human remains several kilometers away. The civilian accounts make it feel much more personal. One man says it follows him, accelerates toward him, and breaks his leg as he tries to get clear. He plays dead while it turns around to face him again. It eventually leaves. A couple report being rammed repeatedly by a car that makes no sound and leaves no tracks. In another account, people pursuing the Volga watch it drive directly into a lake. A few minutes later, lights emerge on the far side and it drives off into the woods. One of the people involved ends the report asking to resign. Fair enough. Then the records move beyond being chased by a driverless car. A witness reports an unconscious passenger resembling someone who disappeared forty-one years earlier. That doesn't establish who the passenger actually is, but it adds a pretty unpleasant possibility to what the car might be doing. The final account is from somebody who gets into it. They don't understand why they feel compelled to climb into the back seat. They remember a clean interior, a familiar smell they can't place, and then water appearing in the headlights before the car goes under. Underwater, they see figures with sad faces watching and reaching toward them. The account becomes fragmented, describing things below the surface and people who can't come back. Eventually the door opens, and the passenger falls out onto grass, coughing up water. Someone finds them and takes them to a hospital. The entry never gives a clean explanation of that place or confirms what the figures are. There are enough recurring details to suggest the car is connected to something much bigger than a haunted vehicle, but the person who actually goes there comes back frightened and struggling to describe it. The Foundation is still collecting accounts and has instructions not to start fights with it until they understand more. After reading those records, that seems like a reasonable place to stop chasing the car. Original Entry: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-265
