Yah, so me and 2 others went to 1000 Steps and also to Minee Haha Park in Spokane. Absolutely no activity in the park.
I can see why people would be scared at the steps. But it’d all be a figment of their imagination. If you have a flashlight pointing up and you breath when it’s cold out, you see your breath right in front of you, giving you an illusion. We went during the dark hours and it was very foggy. There was absolutely zero activity. We did not get any EVPs and nothing came from the pictures. My guess? People are just scared because it IS a supremely creepy place. Real ghost hunters: don’t waste your time.

See? I told ya so. Over rated, and many years of Urban legend perpetuated by hormonal drama queen high schoolers, or lame wannabe “Paranormal Investigators” looking for something that aint there.

Ok. Well to answer anyones questions about the so called Thousand Steps in Spokane. I recently went there last summer. Like probley most of you guys. Im into the paranormal. When I heard about the Thousand Steps I told my little sister about it and we decided to take a drive. It took us about an hour and lots of questioning people to find it.

Its on the side of the road between the two cemetaries on the left side.

all it is, is just run down steps with weeds and bushes around them. There isnt any thousand steps. I dont even know if you want to count them as Thousand steps. We went there by day to check it out, Usually when i go to things that are “Haunted” I like to go there by day first. Get a good readin on it then go by night.

We went up the 1000 steps and reached the top. A large building with grafitti all over it. It just reaches the top of the first cemetary.

Then at night. We had our flashlights and went up there agian. Nothing really happened.

they build the steps so instead of going all around the world to the second level of the cemetary you just go up the steps to it.

There really isnt anything haunted about it.

BUT im also not saying there isnt either. Im sure people have had many strange experiences from it. Kudos to you. Possibly it wasnt ready to show it self to my sister and I.

So im not going to judge anyone. If you guys have had experiences then count yourself lucky. Dont worry your not insaine. Sometimes these things happen to some people sometimes they dont. Never ever say something inst haunted just because you didnt have an experience. Always keep an open mind

Sincerly J.

So ive heard two different things… that the 1000 steps are on the side of the road (pretty easy to find i guess) and the steps are in the back of the cemetery, very hard to find. which one is it?!

They are off of Government way on the west side of the road, more or less directly across from the Mausoleum. Steps head west up to an upper level where there is a concrete building that used to have an elk or a deer on top. Looks like a crypt but its just storage for gardening tools. There are 2 or 3 tiers in the steps as you walk up. its actually a very peaceful pleasant place to visit. Back in the day there were some jackasses who vandalized many of the headstones, so they have private security patrolling. I suggest going up during the day and check it out (perfectly legal). Ive been there dozens of times from the late 1970s through the early 80’s. Other than a great place to creep out a high school girl on a date, there was nothing there in the many times I went there. If you look at it from a purely scientific and objective view and leave the drama at home you will see for yourself. There is no substantiated or documented proof to any of the claims. No documentation of any of the alleged stories of the “Woman in White”, red , black or any other color. The cemetery is beautiful, and the stones are classic Victorian works. Another neat place to look at is on the southern edge of the cemetery off Government way. It would be the North west corner at the intersection of Government way and Indian Trail I believe. Access through the cemetery gate by the keepers residence, curve back around south, and walk through the trees. Interesting stones and small plots. Very old stuff from the 1800s.

Thanks! but….. What about the steps that are suppose to be in the back of the cemetery? people say the ones by the road are nothing, and that the REAL ones are in the back of the cemetery beyond the fence and across the bridge…..

In Yakima WA. on Emma Lane there is a early 1900 century abandon house off of Ahtanum RD. There had been myths floating around about mysterious events that took place inside. The story starts with a Father, Mother, and their little child named Emma. The father had begun to act strange and the mother had enough of his odd behavior. As she was trying to escape the father put a bullet through her head and continued on his rampage by hanging his little girl Emma, and then shooting and killing himself. At first i thought is was all a phony lie, but four years ago i went to check out the place with a group of friends. Sure enough, there was hole surrounded by blood on a wall near the door, and a old rope hanging from the willow tree outside. To this day the house still gives me the creeps.

Those are th only steps I know of. I have been around Mt Nebo and Greenwood Mem Park countless times. Never saw or heard of any “back steps”. There used to be a Great Northern RR tunnel just north of Mt Nebo (and to the west) City/County filled it up with debris years ago after blasting the internal portion of the tunnel. Mt Nebo has a cool little waterfall fed by a natural spring in the far west side. Once aagin very peaceful place. I took a lot of pics there when I was in HS. The area is pretty neat to climb around in, but a lot of it is Private property. Like I said spent many days night etc there. even camped out on the cliff ledge north of Mt Nebo a couple times, and ventured into Greenwood and Mt Nebo after dark. No big deal. If anything was “creepy” it was the old portion of Greenwood. Its like its been forgotten. Havent been there in years. All this discussion is making me a little home sick. Maybe I’ll take a drive over there sometime soon.

The only “Thousand Steps” I know of are the ones off of Govt way. I’ve hiked around the area pretty extensively,going so far as to actually camp several time up in the cliffs just North of Mt Nebo and go into both parks after dark on several occasions. No big deal. In fact I found that going in during the day was even more enjoyable as you get a feel for the history of the area. Cant really find out of the way places and smaller points of interest after dark. There used to be an old bridge that came in the back side of Greenwood. It crosses over the RR tracks. Not sure if its still there or not. As for a back set of steps it doesnt make sense. The steps were built for public access. There is no real public access from the rimrock side of the park. There used to be an old Great Northern RR tunnel back in the north western area. They blew it up and filled it with debris decades ago. Burlington Northern blew it up, and the City/County backfilled it with debris. I had heard tall tales of a secret entrance and devil worshippers and what not. all a bunch of urban legend. I think you can still find the facade of the tunnel front if you go hiking around in that area. Mt Nebo has a real cool little waterfall on the North western corner.Its fed by a natural spring. I used to take pics of wiold flowers up there when I was in high school.
