Campbell House
This house was once owned and inhabited by a wealthy family who eventually died. Today, the house has been converted to Cheney Cowle’s Museum. Hauntings include sightings of children playing in the bedrooms, mysterious noises, and some even claim that eyes in the portraits move.

Wenatchee,Washington, 1995, an orchard in Sunnyslope, the “upper” class area.. Sunnyslope over looks the WHOLE town, and East Wenatchee, there are many orchards, and this one, owned by a man named Lee. if goes like this… three teen-aged boys took a short cut through the orchard, while walking through the orchard they see an old style wooden outhouse, they think oh sweer they can **** with it. they get closer and open the door, one of the orchard workers in it DEAD.. they gasp, scream and run away. running through the orchard they hear something, footsteps, running towards them, they look back, nothing, they look forward, too late, one smacked his head on a branch so hard he breaks his face, and the other kid kept running, nobody knows how the other one died, scared to death? but at the start of the season, the workers went out there to pick, and they saw the kids mangled and hanging for the highest point of the tree, both with horrific looks on there faces… then after that, every year, march 27-28-29 one of those days you can hear the kids screaming and pounding foot steps and if your in the wrong place, you can see them scream, i know, i live in the orchard……… nobody knows what killed them or if there really was a body.

I’ve heard the ‘1000 steps’ stories several times… I personally get ‘intuitive feelings’ about certain things, and, at times, have seen those who have passed. Most of you skeptics out there seem to have a closed mind, but if you open it, even for a week, you will find that there is much more out there than you really thought.
The people here in spokane have called ‘1000 steps’ rimrock, ‘the play ground’ and ‘the place’. I personally wouldn’t even go to that place, even in the daylight. I’ve been in a car as we’ve gone past and had a spirit directly in front of our car. we had no choice but to go ‘over’ this ‘person’ but when we got to where we should have hit her, there was no sound, no greusome bump, nothing. she came out of no where and randomly appered in our headlights. To this day, I don’t know who she was, what she wanted (if anything) or why she stands in the middle of the road.
There are also several other areas that I am aware of that are haunted.
There is a building, which used to be the ‘old city hall’ about a century or so ago, where they performed public hangings. You’ll find it close to the intersection of Monroe and Boon. People have been heard screaming in the vacant rooms, foot steps in the middle of the night, and at times, middle of the day, people have been seen hanging in the hall where most of the original hangings had taken place… the building is seriously messed up.
The other place I know of, there was someone buried in one of the pillars of the high-railroad bridge. I’m not sure exactly where it is, I’ve only heard of it.
I’m sure that my being a self-proclaimed psychic will probably discredit me, but I know what I know, and I tend to believe my eyes when I see things… My intuition is my best friend and I’ll keep trusting it.

This is for s. What’s your problem with people in Spokane!!! Gah not everyone in Spokane does drugs and if they want to lie let them lie. No body wants to listen to your **** about Spokanites being liers or stoners. If you have issues go talk to your psychiatrist.

So theres this house, just a random house for rent that i was interested in. I googled the house so i can see the are it is in, and in the picture there was a really creepy looking man in the window upstairs, it really freakedme out so i was looking trough the other pictures on the rental website and in the downstairs window(main window) it looks like faces or somthing and if you zoom realy close you can see what looks like a womans face, it seriously gives me the chills to remeber it.
Anyway i was wondering if there is anyway to find out if certain local houses are huanted. http://www.rentals.com/Home-Rentals/Display.aspx?ListingNumber=774372
if you look at the main picture and look into the big bottom window maybe someone can clarify weather im seeing things or if it creeps you out too. let me knjow if there some way to find this stuff. oh if you google map it the address is 684 not 634 out..selahmarie27@hotmail.com

Davenport Hotel: When the hotel was being restored I worked on installing the window treatments. I was in and out of the hotel for months during the restoration. One day we entered a room on the 5th floor that was freezing and the three of us felt like there was something there. The air was not blowing from the vent or anywhere. We wrote it off as a problem with the wiring or new air system. The surrounding rooms had normal temperatures. Later on I was alone in a room on the 4th floor and heard sounds coming from the bathroom it sounded like cupboard doors opening and someone cleaning. I assumed there was staff in there doing clean up. I went in the bathroom and no one was there. I checked the rooms on both sides and I say no one in the area. I began asking staff and construction workers about it and a lot of them had stories. A staff member felt something touch her in the 5th floor room and a woman in white has been seen roaming the halls on the 4th floor. Also there were a lot of problems with the service elevators and main elevators. there were times at night that a few of us were there working and the service elevator would stop on many floors before it would get to us at the bottom and no one was on the floors above us. The staff told me that the main elevators also go on their own up and down during the night also. I have heard restoration can cause extra activity. I am currious if it has subsided at all. I would love to go back and stay in the 4th floor room!

Thousand Steps is the Riverside Cemetery on the west side of town. It’s been over twenty years since I’ve been there, but I will never go back, not in the dark at least.
Some friends and I decided to go there one night. We had heard all the stories and wanted to find out if they were true. It was about 12:30 am or so when we got there. We parked at a little turn-out that was about a quarter mile down the road.
The girls that were with us kept wanting to turn back before we even got to the steps, but we convinced them to keep going.
We started up the stairs and after a few minutes one of the girls thought she saw something in the woods. Me and my buddy didn’t believe her, but went went to check it out anyway.
We walked for far enough that we couldn’t see our friends flashlight anymore. We didn’t see anyone and were just about to turn back when we smelled something burnt. We followed the smell and found a small campfire that was almost out. No one else was around, but the pine needles and brush was compacted like a group of people had been there. We walked over to the remnants of the campfire and could see that something was under the coals. My buddy Marc grabbed a stick and moved the coals around. We found out what was under them and causing the smell…a puppy. It looked like it had been eviscerated. We didn’t stick around after that.
We got back to steps where we left our friends and found out they weren’t there anymore. We hauled *** down to the car only to find a rent a cop down there looking around the car. We talked to him for a minute and he said we were the only people he had seen since he got there. We convinced him not to call the cops and he told us to be careful eventually he took off. We didn’t tell him what we had found in the woods.
Our friends came running up the road about ten or fifteen minutes later saying a couple of people had chased them out of the woods. Whoever they were, they didn’t identify themselves and all my friends could make out was their dark clothes. It wasn’t until they saw the rent a cop up the road a ways that the people disappeared. We got in the car and took off.
It was one of the freakiest nights I ever had.

I am not sure about steps. I got on this web site looking for someone who has maybe seen a small child a little girl in yakima wa. I lived there as a child now that I am an adalt I think that I can face it. From what I see on the web sights maybe hopefully there is nothing there anymore. I guess maybe I just had to make sure.Thanks

Hi all, I’ve been to 1000 steps with our group. Were called S.P.I.R.I.T. Investigations, we’ve taken pics audio,and vidio of the whole cemetary pretty much and have gotten some pretty incredible stuff. We have went there as well during the day to try to debunk shots taken at night and have found the occurance of spirits showing up on digital cameras happens about as often during the day. We are very interested in the tunnel that runs under greenwood and would like any info about the location of the entrances. I understand they were closed in 1970 but who knows. We take a scientific approach to paranormal investigations using as much equipment as the investigation will allow to capture whatever is there. It started out as a hobby, just for fun. But it has turned into more than that now. I’ve seen the faces of people who believed there house was haunted who had been told they were nuts or who just put up with living in a home that frightens them. When we can go in and after the investigation present the people with documentation of what it is they have been dealing with it makes a difference. If anyone has been dealing with a similar problem we can help. We do not exercise spirits, our task is one of documentation so I can’t help you there but usually if you know what it is your have living with you it makes it easier to deal with. my E-Mail is dashadow74@yahoo.com feel free to give me a shout.

okay.
well..
i have never been or seen the thousand steps.
But my sisters boyfriend read up on it and he read that when you are going up the steps you hear voices, step, and you will feel a presences with you.
It also said that a witch lived up there some where.
and that the witch is dead, but her evil spirit will always be there.

All right well I had hurd about the thousand steps my friends and i had gone searching for them during the day because our night searches had availed at nothing. We rearchered everything to try to find the exact location and nothing helped. So here i go. The 100o steps in spokane washington are located at greenwood memorial terrace. The steps are located tight off of Government way between two enteances to the cemeteries. Its hard to find because its a dirt path that is a break in a small stone wall that leads into bushes. But if you follow this dirt path about ten feet you will locate the 1000 steps.
Okay, just to let everyone know, the thousand steps are not a thousand steps…but they are very creepy. Well last night we all went out and all managed to make it to the top. We walked through the graveyard taking pictures. It was creepy! but for the most part we managed to keep our composure. So many orbs were showing up in the pictures. Not at first but the longer we stayed there the more there were. Two of out pictures were of the same headstone and they were taken one right after the other, and in the first one there was nothing but the seconed on taken 2 seconds later there were at least 10 orbs.
Okay so the main scare came when we were walking back to the steps to leave and i pointed my flashlitht up and right in front of the crypt at the top of the steps and as i did so my flashlight landed on somthing moving between the headstones. We were all togather so it wasn’t one of us but I started running and screaming…as did we all, like a bunch of little girls. Trust me you would have too!
After that we decided we NEEDED to leave and there was NO WAY that i was going to go follow the figure and go down the steps. So we walked to the main intrence and bounced out! A guy named Chris who was with us had taken a picture of one of the crypts we were by after we had run from the figure, and next to the crypt you can see two shadowey figures that look like there holding hands, and there were orbs ALL around them.
Well you guys that was my story and i hoped it helped you if you are intrested in doing the steps. If you want you can e-mail me at riotgirl1230@yahoo.com

Deaconess Hospital North elevator is suppose to be haunted by a old maintenance worker named CHARLIE… to this day, when you walk by the elevator it automatically opens randomly & my personal experience I had taken the elevator to get to one floor up & was taken to one of the highest floors (even though the # inside the elvator showed my floor request lit) I automatically assumed when the door opened walked off
only to discover WRONG FLOOR…SO WIERD. No body outside door I glanced over the nurse station and they were busy no even noticing me? NOTE: evidently Charlie being former employee died working on the elevator during repair as he was crushed. OOh! Also, I heard from the gals in Med Records that a shadow has been seen in the back of the wall files.
…just thought I’d let you know.
