I'm looking for two SCPs I really liked reading about the last time I trawled the archives. One was a phone, I think, that when you listened to it sounds of torture came out? And there was a talking phone that you could ask, which replied in a sassy operators voice and might connect you to somewhere if it was in a good mood.
Oh, and some kind of building that had to have a D-Class and/or researcher stationed there at all times as there was a door that opened and aliens came through and tried to negotiate with SCP personnel.
Entry 15: At 01:34 on █/██/2009, Professor Skali Sharpnose was seen entering into the air-processing area of Bio-Research Area-12. He seems to have distracted the guard by starting a conversation and subsequently performing some form of hypnosis (or simply being long-winded and boring) and lulling him into a sleep-like state. He then entered into the air-processing room and introduced a Class-3 airborne sedative into the sleeping quarters of Kain Pathos Crow. Security footage then shows Professor Skali entering into Crow's quarters wearing a gas-mask and carrying a large portable dog-kennel. He is seen leaving several minutes later and is able to exit the facility without arousing suspicions about the identity of the kennel's occupant. Apparently, most site personnel are simply unable to recognize Crow without his glasses. NOTE: Surveillance back-track of Professor Skali shows him several days earlier obtaining a cup of an unknown liquid from SCP-294, using the input "Amnesiacolada". It is believed that he administered this liquid to Crow while he was sedated. Upon leaving Bio-Research Area-12, Professor Skali drove to the nearby town of ███████, where he admitted Crow to the "Paws/Play No-Kill Animal Shelter" and scheduled Crow for a neutering surgery. SCP-050 awaited him on his desk when he returned to his office.
At random intervals there is an irregular tick, either slightly too early or slightly too late. There is no pattern in the time between occurences, but it appears to happen less regularly when under intense observation. Inspection of the construction of the metronome reveals no irregularities in the mechanisms.
You know, I never understood people who would gripe over someone posting a TVTropes link because they just lost 4 hours reading. Now I do.
Oh god, how I love this site. I can't even get mad about the last two days I spent reading, scratching my head and gasping in astonishment (not necessarily in that order.) The rigid structuring and deliberate [EXPUNGED] of the SCP articles works tremendously in it's favor and adds a great sense of mystery.
Best one IMHO: 134 - The Star Eyed Child. It's mundane for the most part, what's weird about her is really weird and she's ultimately useless.
My head is bursting with ideas for weird, useless SCP's right now. Gonna try to see if I can write something decent before I submit myself to that cumbersome joining procedure(and I thought those CAPTCHA things were bad)

Maybe not spooky, but pretty annoying.
Alternatively, make it tick simultaneously for everyone hearing it, regardless of the distance the sound has to travel or any delays suffered through broadcasting the sound.
A universal beat. Replace beat with heartbeat for extra spooky.

Sorry, but that SCP is already present in the Patrician's Office, Ankh-Morpork
If I may comment on the application process, as I have seen it being discussed:
There are multiple reasons for doing things the way we do. Once upon a time, we allowed any to edit the site, anonymous or otherwise, and that worked out badly for us. Feel free to look up 'Hagger' for instances. So, we had to make it wikidot members only.
Then we started to have a problem with people creating things that were, well, just plain stupid. Or making edits to existing SCPs and completely ruining the effect. So, we decided to create the application process, to not only weed out the dumb ones, but to ensure that those we did get were both capable of working within a structure/ruleset, and to make sure that we're letting in people who actually want to contribute to the site, who will actually make the effort to look for the answers. As the man in charge of the applications, you'd be surprised how many people completely skip step five, despite my repeated requests that people not do this.
All that out of the way, I'm quite pleased to see your interest in our site, and look forward to working with those of you who choose to join. If you have any questions, I'll be lurking in this thread to help answer them.
(Yes, I am aware this all goes against my well polished 'asshole' image, but I've been working on that.)
Dr. Bright, I did not notice step five. I will rectify this now.
The tick of the metronome will, after listening to it for an unspecified amount of time, force the listener's heart to beat in tune with it regardless of physical activity. Anyone who has then been affected and leaves the sound range of the metronome has immediate heart failure.
Hahahaha well I'll be damned, this is from Entry 35 of the Prank War:
What followed can be bought for $9.99 from http://www.[REDACTED] in a censored format; an uncensored version is available from Dr. Coleman for $14.99. All proceeds will be donated to the Childs Play foundation.

people within audible proximity of the metronome automatically start doing everything in time with it
That would be weird, think of a place where everyone moves normally except for a 10ft radius where they go about their daily work in time to the metronome.
Imagine: a) the possibility of multiple copies of such a device, b) everything in time to the metronome, including breathing, blinking, and walking, and c) the metronome stopping

you know how some metronomes have a bar indicator?
like you set it to 4/4 time and it goes DING doc doc doc DING doc doc doc DING
When started, the metronome must be stopped between a ding and a doc, with the ding being the last sound created
if it is not, the next time the metronome emits a ding sound, it emits and powerful sonic burst which breaks windows and bursts eardrums.

That's actually the line that makes it work, IMO.
Like the beetle that turns you into a hive.

I like entry 51 in this.
Hmmm, the last line.

I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
If there's anything I've learned reading way too much SCP it's this: When in doubt, add gross insects.
So make it spawn an actual bloodsucking tick on someone for every tick they hear.

Ori are you going to make a dashing muscular self-insert that everyone loves?
Of course! He'll stop 110-Montauk once and for all and date 808 and 105 simultaneously.
then he'd make her pancakes
