Thanx nick. I’m sorry about the last post. I was kinda po’ed and didn’t read any posts after that. I’ll visit the sight and check it out before i give up the whole idea about ghosts and the “gift.” If you have any info, use my above email address and title the email something catchy so that i don’t delete it. Thanx again.

Thousand Steps=greenwood boulevard, on which is greenwood cemetary, west side of spokane by spokane falls community college. driving there is “northwest on northwest boulevard, turn left on TJ Meenach drive, follow it to the end, turn left at the T, drive until you see the cemetary, slow down about 1/3 of the way through and look to your right. There’s about 45 stairs up to the back of a storage shed that looks kind of mausoleumish (covered in graffiti). filled with spooky shovels and rakes. the stairs themselves are on cemetary grounds making it illegal to be on them after dark, but provide good cover so that meth and coke dealers can perform their transactions there. i’ve been up and down them about 50 times and the scariest thing i’ve seen there (remember greenwood cemetary) is a cop pulling up at the bottom of the stairs. (firm ghost beleiver very disappointed)

Ok so what I would like to know about 1000 Steps is…..where do you park? I finally found it after all these years of my sister talking about partying up there…..and I have heard mixed stories. It is haunted, it isn’t haunted, so I don’t know what to believe. Unfortunately I am not brave enough to try to go up there at night but if anyone can find me pictures I would LOVE to see them!!!
Also, for the Love and Laughter daycare, I know the owner and I don’t remember hearing anything from her about it being haunted. I have been down in the basement and I don’t remember seeing anything. The outer building is a different story. That one DOES feel creepy!!
So please find me pictures anyone!!!

hey waz up?! iz any1 der?

About the cemetary in Spokane, Washington:
The first, last and only time I ever went to that cemetary was when my now ex sister-in-law had lost her baby by crib death. About a week after the infant was buried she wanted to go visit the grave, which was at the top of the 1000 steps; I was told that is where the children’s cemetary is located. So my now ex-husband and I, my sister-in-law and her husband and one of my brothers-in-law all piled into the car and drove to the cemetary and to the top of the hill;it must have been around 9 pm. Don’t ask me why she wanted to go that late at night, no one could ever really figure her out. After we got there, no one wanted to get out of the car, so we just sat there and argued about it for a few minutes. Then someone in the car saw someone wandering amongst the gravestones and my sister-in-law swore that someone was desecrating the graves. She got really angry and upset. Then the figure in the graveyard started running towards the car and we all just sat there, watching in amazement. Finally, someone decided it would be a really great idea if we left the cemetary, so we started the car and turned around. Just as we got the car turned around, we heard a loud “thump” on top of the car. Evidently this unknown person had jumped on top of the car. Well, my one brother-in-law, being the intelligent rocket scientist that he was, decided to stick his head out the window and look on top of the car to see who it was and to beat the snot out of the weirdo. When he did that, there was no one there. He got scared and started screaming about speeding up and getting the hell out of there, which panicked everyone else. The worse thing was we kept hearing someone scratching on top of the car, like they were trying to peel back the metal to get inside. I just sat there, squished between my ex husband and my ex sister-in-law’s husband, thinking how stupid everyone was to come up here in the first place. When we finally got back to the house and looked at the top of the car, there were dents where someone had laid on top of the car and deep scratch marks al the way through the paint down to the metal. We never went up threre again and thank God I divorced that whole sorry family shortly afterward.

The Steps on the road at Greenwood Cemetary are not the 1000 steps. They’re just steps that lead up to the cemetary. The real 1000 steps are in the back of the cemetary. Theres a fence built around the back so you cant get back there, but there is a place where there is just a rope over it and a bridge to drive back there. Either that, or you can get to it by driving on the road behind the cemetary. The steps at the road arn’t scary, theres just beer cans and bottles and a bunch of weeds, but its still fun.

I would just like to say that Thousand Steps in Spokane, WA isn’t a place where they hold Satanic rituals. If this “J” knew anything about Satanism he’d know that it has nothing to do with Satan. According to everything I know it’s a witches graveyard, and the mosilium is just about impossible to find durring the day, but that’s all just rumor. I’ve been to the steps on Government Way, but I haven’t actually been up there yet. I’m currently doing research for a trip I plan to take next weekend, so thanks all for the stories!!

As Ksher said. No satanist acts are held up there. It is a witch’s graveyard. The mousilium is impossible to find. And I personally think that anybody who believes it to be haunted is just superstitious. You are only scared of what you dont know. Why doesnt someone wait for whatever it is to come and get them? meh whatever Cant wait for next weekend.

i find that to be so cool! I would like to go there…I want to see the eyes of the portraits move!

dame thats hella scary

i would of been really spoked out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is kinda scary…

There isn’t even 13 steps at this cemetary, it is a total of 3 steps.

It’s also a big no no to go into the cemetary without seeking proper permissions.

If you want to see some REAL freaky stuff if you actually have a military ID or know someone who can escort you onto the base, go check out Keyport base by Silverdale. All I gotta say it go around the barraks and look up at the attic. There is another place on the base it’s and old house that a Gettysburg tree was transplanted from that is the old generals house all of the military police officers who have been by there during the night and during the day have all got stories of seeing the old general walking through the house.

I believe in this kinda stuff. Some people are telling the truth and some are not… How will we ever really know. I visted a house that was told to be haunted and nothing really happened, just a bad feeling… SCARY.

A Thousand Steps. In 2004 I lived in The Ballou’s (an apartment for kids that love to party and go to spokanefalls community college)A bunch of friends and I were bored and we all heard rumors of a thousand steps, a haunted entrance to the cemetary near our apartments. One night we all decided to dress up in camo’s and go get freaked out, I had no ideal what i was getting myself into. At the time all the new houses in that area werent even being developed yet so we just hiked over the road and hiked through the woods behind the cemetary and made our way to the steps near the mosoleum. We went up and down the torn up stairs and nothing happend (my friend claimed to see a bright light) Anyways my friends were up at the top of the steps and I felt something draw me towards the steps…like a spirit or something was telling me to go alone..I was scared as hell but I went anyway, I don’t really understand why I was walking but I just kept going…I stopped in the middle of the steps and just sat down. My friend sarah came up behind me and asked me what i was doing by myself and told me to go back up the stairs cause she was really scared. I told her that I had to sit here and she was starting to get freaked out…Just then we both turn our heads toward the brush and it started violently shaking as if something big and heavy was running toward us but there was nothing there!! Sarah yelled at me asking me if I was seeing what she was and I yelled, oh my god run! she was running ahead of me and I started running behind her and my back felt icy cold and goosebumps ran along my spine…I felt something grab my leg but It never caught up with me. That night we heard children crying at night and whispers, I will never forget that night. I have never had a paranormal experience before but it was definately not right. I know it couldn’t have been an animal because animals would run away from you not towards you, and a small critter couldn’t have made the bushes and trees shake like that for it’s size. I have tried to tell myself a hundred things it could possibly be but nothing else makes any sense. The fact that both Sarah and I witnessed the same thing at the same time, I know that spirits do exist and that place is haunted…

that was A Thousand steps located in Spokane, WA

“Thousand Steps” legend has been going on since my grandfather was a kid (believe it or not) I’ve f’d around in that cemetery litterally dozens of times as a teen. (I’m now 34) All that’s in that place is a lot of old graves and broken headstones. At the very top it is still being used for newer graves. There is nothing scary about it. Just the fact that its a cemetery is what scares people. Honestly, I will warn against taking the steps up the the side of the hill. The steps are old, broken and decaying which makes climbing them very dangerous. Be careful and make sure you are wearing decent shoes. Hold on to whatever brush is there. Once you get towards the top, its easier.
No satanic ritiuals were ever held there. Thats a just an urban legend. I would also advise against going there at night, the night watchmen don’t F around. They will haul your butt off and not even think twice about pressing tresspassing charges if they catch you. Trust me, my ex-boyfriend and his brother found out the hard way.

There is ghost when there is unfinished business!

I am a local College student in Spokane. Last weekend my mom came to visit and we decided to go to the museum and they told us we could tour the Campbell house, being a history major I had to go. Local history at its best right? The tour was going great, I was already a little scared just because I always have the tendency to freak myself out in old houses. I decided to take some pictures of the amazing rooms and get some decorating ideas (I love eary 20th cent. decorating!) We were in the Library and I was standing along the far wall with all of the windows. Keep in mind however I was not standing against the wall or anything. I felt alot of pressure on my back, like a hand right on the curve of my back. I assumed my mom was just trying to mess with me since she knows I was scared. I looked at her and she was standing with her arms crossed listening to the tour guide. She had no idea what just happened to me. I looked around my vicinity and there was nothing that could have touched me like that. After that experience while I was still there I took a picture of the far left corner of the table and yellow chairs right in front of the window. After we left I looked thru my pictures on my camera but did not see anything. However when I went home printed and scanned my pictures shortly after you can cleary see a womans head, neckline with broach and outline of an upper torso between the table and chair.

This is my first experience with anything of this nature and I just want to know if anyone has had the same experience in the library or if anyone has any idea who the ghost might be. I thought it was the young daughter, whoever donated the house to the museum but I dont know.
