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.

Hey everybody, I just wanted to comment on here about a few things… Firt, I have been to the Campbell hous twice the most recent was back in 1999. I never saw anything in that house but I did get a cold chill while touring Amasa Campbell’s card room in the basement where his huge old safe is. Check out Patsy Clark’s mansion in Browne’s Addition it used to be a resturant up to the early 2000′s and quite a few employee at the time reported wine bottles flying off racks in the wine cellar. My most personal experiance in this city is in a house I rented from a private owner in 2005-06 on west Carlisle by Maple Street (I wont give the address for the owner’s sake) and the current owner gt it from her grandmother who bought it in 1921. No one lived in it for 45 years or so when I rented it and started renovating (the current owner used it for storage and dog training classes for a couple decades.) anyway, stuff started happening after I started renovating like my eyeglasses would be in random locations on the main floor even though I remember putting them on my end table on my side of the bed at night, and I went into her grandmohers canning room in the basement to store some boxes and heard a voice tell me to “get out of there” plain as day, but I was the only persn at home at the time. Verycreepy house. It’s still vacant since I moved out 4 years ago.

1000 steps in spokane washington is off of government way not far from Spokane Falls Community College. If you look hard enough you can see them on the left side of the road if your going north. They are called 1000 steps because once you climb to the top your supposed to be so haunted that the stairs LOOK like they never end. People say satanic/Wiccan rituals were held at the top at the crypt.
In my few experiences during the day (930 am and 1 pm) my best friend and i started at the top because we were happy we finally found them. Anyways about 2 feet towards the crypt we got a very overwhelming feeling. We continued to descend the very broken top few sets of stairs. about 2 landings down we notice that the once beautiful sunny day seemed to turn overcast around us…but not when we looked at the sky. As we were walking down we kept hearing the sound of someone around us but not on the stairs…more in the bushes and trees. Then we got to the next landing and i felt and heard someone sighing against my cheek. My friend heard as well so we went back to the car. The other time we went…we were at that second/third landing and we veered off into the trees a bit more…and we felt someone very close to us….my friend said it felt like someone walking next to her with their arm around her back touching her opposite arm…guiding her deeper along the small path.
Also, when we were leaving my car pulled itself on its own (no hands at all on the wheel) through the graveyard’s dirt road all the way to the paved one.
Everyday as i pass the steps to get to school/home i get the heeby-jeebys and once my phone rang but no number showed on my cell and there was heavy breathing, thumping, eerie moaning and a slam by the time i hung my phone up…only for it to do the same thing again.

any questions/commments feel free to email me

Thats strange.. If you read back on the few pages, you can see some people say that the real 1000 steps are in the back of the cemetery, i guess in that forest… Why would they make that up? IDK, but Id love for someone to explain that for me! Hey pablo, where is the waterfall? and what did you say again about something to do with indians? are there graves back there or something?

I found and walked the steps at night back in 1989 with a group of friends from High School. We had no problem getting to the top and saw no paranormal or unexplained things. We stayed up on top and walked around near the graves for some time, then came back down the steps. We did not see, hear or feel anything out of the ordinary. Creepy to do at night, but we did not witness any paranormal events on our trip. So, despite the claim of the article, that it can’t be done…been there, done that without problem.

Man…. I wish i knew were the supposed steps were in the back of the cemetary. If its even real at all.

really? I love a good ghost story, but do the research!!! the house was only inhabited for about 20 years ( i believe. like i said, check it out). The house was inherited by the family’s daughter. When she wed, she turned it over to the historical society. ( oddly enough, it wasn’t an old house yet…) It has been in the museums possession ever since. It’s a beautiful house, and would be perfect as a haunted house, if only it had a story to go with it. Still, it’s a nice place to go visit. ( it’s located next to the M.A.C. in brownes addition) =) p.s. I’ve taken the tour numerous times and it’s a really peaceful place!!! the portraits aren’t even creepy!!!

I am so down to visit all these places. I think it would be hella fun!!!
