    Something I think a lot of people are overlooking is a very minor detail with how were presented with the body count of the anomaly. At 3:51 were told of 70 D class and 29 MTF that have gone in, BUT at 14:08 were told about 70 D class and *30* MTF. Due to this iteration of Monroe having MTF experience you can see how Reed has already written the new guy into the system. Very subtle, very nice.

    Jason Monroe is a ghost story. "His sins" are having killed Emily, then himself. Hung in string 300 years ago, Emily was killed by Jason, who then hung himself in sorrow. Emily is a ghost that drags him back, that forces Jason Monroe to die, over and over again, for whatever he did to emily, those hundreds of years ago, down those hallways, by that fireplace. In anger, he acted. In fear, she tried to escape. Now, he will have no escape.

      @Conrad Ferrus if it’s something that breaks some sort of known law (the physics kind) it’s considered an anomaly, if a new law or laws are discovered which make an exception it fits in, it’s no longer really an anomaly, as we have an explanation for what it is/how it does what it does, so SCP 1000 is probably an SCP close to explanation, SCP 1000 being Bigfoot, and ya know if you know the truth then it’s not much of an anomaly more of a historical remnant of a killing from fear, so it’s not that anomalous, however if it’s something that breaks any know law (still the physics kind) then it’s not explained.

      I know this a year old but maybe he also grooming/manipulating her in ORDER for her to die at the stake? It’s shown in history a lot of people would lie and manipulate the “witches” in order for them to be accused. Especially young girls.
      So it’s possible he had an anomaly and was testing it ON HER and then she could’ve gotten freaked out. And tried to say she’ll expose what he’s done. Obviously my man did not take kindly, and probably tortured/burned her in the fireplace. That’s just my theory though

      My guess is that he was a witch hunter. Hunting witches was still a thing 300 years ago, and a possibly anomalous human like Emily would have been targeted for witchcraft. Monroe, like any other witch hunter, was likely taught to fear and hate witches by the Christian church without ever considering how they may feel and hung her, then burned her in the fireplace of her own home to make sure she stayed down.
      In the end though, he realized that he was wrong the entire time. Realizing that he had been killing innocent people, including a little girl, for the sake of a fake religion for a false god that isn't even a drop in the bucket of horror that is the SCP multiverse, he hanged himself. But Emily is not the forgiving type, and so here we, or rather her and Monroe, are.

    It's where the SCP Foundation ultimately becomes possessed by some means and starts unleashing hell on Earth. Killing sight researchers, releasing SCP's, and attempting to spawn the apocalypse.
    At the same time, one unaffected SCP researcher survives being eliminated at a site with the help of an anomalous invisibility suit.
    Whereas war is being raged between organisations out of bleak survival, the researchers only hope is to restart reality.
    In the end he's successful in metaphorically restarting the board but at the cost of his own life.

    i actually ran a halloween oneshot with a surprisingly similar concept once:
    they were 4 of them, the hallways was a house with infinite rooms (behind the dm screen there were like 30 ;D) with the door vanished and the windows leading to death. In fact the house was full of deathtraps and some monsters and a bunch of skeletons and decayed corpses, mostly in groups of 4.
    Long story short the corpses were always the party, although now they retained their memories across death (because playing with friends in a social setting, amnestics for game purposes are overkill), the monsters were also the party, driven mad or mutated or fused or whatever, with permanent loss of consciousness apparently constituting death.
    They always respawned at the entrance the moment they died.
    Resolution was: The iteration before they started playing their predecessors managed to somehow make their memories stick and so they could piece together what happened: The 4 of them colluded to murder their fifth, who is now forcing them to die and die again. When they apologized the rooms start decaying, the infinite void outside slowly seeping in, calming them, as they move on to whatever comes next :D

    For once, I, of the Serpent's Hand, agree with the foundation's security. It is not the place of the living to interfere in the judgement of the dead, and technically, Only one life has ever been lost in "containing" the ghost of Emily. That of Jason Monroe, who died about 300 years ago. The reincarnations are as the hallways; tools by which Emily reinacts her judgement over, and over, and over again. Forever.
    The Foundation, in this case, is more the MTF on staff than the facility, or the containment protocol.
