I have visited the Campbell House several times over the years and every time I had a weird feeling but the last time I went was really odd.I felt like the eyes were watching me in the portraits and when I went downstairs in the basement area I felt like I was being watched the whole time I was down there.

I had to go to the Campbell house on a field trip for school a few years back, but none of us actually saw anything there.

I do believe that my old house about 40 miles north of spokane was haunted. one night i woke up because i felt suddenly very cold. i tried to get up to go get more blankets but I couldn’t move. all of a sudden my body got all tingly, like the feeling you get when a part of you is falling asleep. then gradually i started getting warmer and warmer. I felt like i was going to pass out from the heat and it was making me dizzy. my dog started running back and forth between my room and my sister’s room, where my sister wa reading. The dog was going crazy. Then right by my ear i heard a man’s voice say “did you fix it? did you fix it?”. needless to say i was freaked out. i was finally able to move and i went to see my sis and she claimed she heard the voice too. i knew it wasn’t my dad talking to my mom because he worked nights when we lived there. i went downstairs, thinking my mom had the tv on while she slept again. But it was a woman talking on the TV and my dog wouldn’t go back into my room.

There are other various things that have happened in that house, but this one was the most prominent.

Hey andi — I used to take swimming lessons behind the Shoehouse preschool in the pool shaped like a boot. Played in the playground a couple times too, but I never did get to go inside the building. That was in ‘80 or ‘81 I think. I was always fascinated with that place as a kid– mainly because of all the fun outdoor playground equipment — but I never heard about it being haunted. Of course, I have been living in Florida since ‘86. Anyway, I’m glad I saw your comment because I am going up to Spokane for the holidays and I want to show my 7-yr-old daughter my hometown and all my old “haunts” (pun intendend, lol). The Shoehouse was one of the places I wanted to show her but I couldn’t remember where it was. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Another thing…my grandparents are buried in Greenwood Cemetary. Was planning to go to the cemetary to pay my respects to them when I go to Spokane for the holidays. Been there a couple times but didn’t know about 1000 steps. I think I might just have to climb ‘em, but I don’t think it would be a good idea to bring my daughter.

I haven’t been to “Thousand Steps” since my senior year in HS (1982). I went there on numerous occasions with friends, girls, etc.I will NEVR go back. Why? Because other than being an old cemetery it’s pretty over rated. The “Crypt” at the top of the stairs (with the Elk on top) (if anybody would have ever actually looked) is a maintenance storage shed.Take a peek inside, it’s full of hoses, and tools. As for Satanic worship I would be more inclined to believe it’s confused younger people practicing things that shouldnt be practiced. But whatever trips your trigger.There is an old Railroad tunnel to the north of the the Mt Nebo Cemetery. It wasn’t very long, and was demolished when I was little. I recall seeing the mouth of the tunnel being filled with landfill. Thsi was directly across (west)from the old Cement Quarry. Back in the 70s when they sealed it, I recall hearing the “legend” of Satanic worship going on in the tunnel. There is no way, not possible. It was collapsed and filled. Go take a day hike in the area. It’s actually a neat place to hike around in. I particularly liked Mt Nebos little waterfall. There may be spirits, but what cemetery doesnt have spirits… it’s a resting place for the dead. Another neat place is at the South end Greenwood/Riverside (junction of Government way/Indian Trail. In those skinny pines is the old part of the cemetery. Very interesting area, lots of little ones lost to disease. Not creepy, just peaceful, and a nice historic place to get some perspective on how tough our ancestors had it. Knowing what I know now, I wouldnt waste my time with Thousand Steps. Let them rest in peace already.

HELP FOR ANDREW AND JESS
you will probably need an EMF meter that can measure unusual high readings in a house that can sometimes suggest a spirt trying to manafest if you can’t trace the spike to anythin gin the house. Also you will need a digital recorder to catch any voices that cant be caught by your humane ears. And if you can get a heat sesitive camera that will also help in your investgations.But the thermal imaging camera is wanted by many investigaters in this feild of work so you may want to act fast on this one… I hope to hear of your inestigations on this site. Good bye and Good Luck!!!

As a Boy growing up in Spokane, we used to dare each other to go across the river and climb those haunted stairs.”1000 STEPS”. The story went like this: There was an old set of concrete steps that led to a grave,and it was haunted, and the place was used as a satanic worship ground.You never knew who, or what you might find there.But, one thing for sure, we never went. Well just recently, that place came up in conversation,and it seems that the place really does exist!!(40 years later, I had all but wrote it off as a story) Well anyway, I went and found the place just today:THE INFAMOUS “1000 STEPS”! I did not even get out of my truck, just located the spot. you can see it from the road, if you know where to look. Well, Sunday, we are going up there.Me, my woman, and our 2 kids.I am taking a video camera, and a digital camera.There seems to be ALOT of activity up there, still today.I dont really beleave in ghosts, but, SOMETHING is going on up there.I will keep you posted, and when we come back, I will let you all know what IS going on up there. I have talked to MANY people about that place, and it seems that they ALL know of it.some say they have been there, and will never go back,my good freind told me to go ahead and go, but Im not taking her kids.Shes been there.Another friend said, “At your age,why dont you just leave it alone?”I know a guy, who worked at the graveyard as a security gaurd at night.After 2 days he quit, and says he will NEVER go back to that %$@^$% haunted place again. Anyway, I will keep you guys posted. If you have any Qs, feel free to email me at:chevyamcboy@hotmail.com
