Dr. Abigail Bane was sent to interview the two spirits reported by personnel. They both speak through an Ovilus* and an Onvoy**.
The following is a recording of the interview between Dr. Haddie and the spirit of Thompson:
*Ovilus - a device that works by scanning through electrical signals and compares them to a list of words and phrases.
**Onvoy - a device that works by going through a variety of options. Meanwhile multiple sensors search for changes in the surrounding environment. As soon as a spike occurs, it makes a selection with an audio alert. When a sensor is triggered, it displays it on the screen.

The Thompson residence was set on fire on November 17, █████. The fire was then spread from the house to the residence of Oswald Sach, or "Ossie" (SCP-8158785-B), who lived across from the Thompson residence. It is said that his spirit haunts the road between his home and the Thompson house. Personnel have reported the sound of running or pacing footsteps on the street when no one else is around.

The following is an interview between Dr. Bane and Sach:
The battery on the Onvoy had drained. Dr. Bane had to go back and get new batteries even though she remembered she had just gotten the Onvoy yesterday.

The forest nearby SCP-8158785, designated SCP-8158785-C or "Honeybee Forest Nature Reserve" was once called Silvercore Recreational Park. Personnel had to change the name because the residents on the other side of the forest did not want remember what they call, "the two-year tragedy".
They spoke little of it, but personnel have gathered enough context.
In █████, two boys went exploring in the woods. They were caught in a storm and only one of them came out, shaken and cold. That boy grew up to be Joseph Thompson.
Ten years later, three girls do the same thing. They decide to go exploring the woods and also get caught in a storm. A tree falls on top of one of the girls. Her name was Mary-Anne Parks, the daughter of the former Mayor of Goatspond. Two of the girls were found unscathed. One was child of Joseph and Ella Thompson, Nyla - who later dies in the household fire along with her mother.

There have been reports of human-like shadowy figures wearing animal masks. Personnel led by Agent Ibbotte have lured one of them into a containment van. This entity has been designated SCP-8158785-C1.
SCP-8158785-C1 is a six-foot tall humanoid figure with tattered clothing and a vulture mask.
D-5442 was sent into SCP-8158785-C1's containment cell to see how the entity would react to docile humans.
Afterwards D-5442 was later then monitored. The next day, the D-class personnel went into a psychosis and began hallucinating an entity with a similar description to Thompson's spirit.
