I toured the house back in 1996. It certainly is haunted. There were so many manifestations during the tour, that by the end of the tour, all the people on the tour ran out the front door and the tour guided started crying. The eyes in the picture of Mr. Campbell moved. Wind and the smell of roses happened in Mrs. Campbell’s parlour. Heat, invisible smoke and the smell of a hot fire happened in the room where Mr. Campbell was laying in state after he died. Ice cold breezes in the bedrooms, the sound of laughing children. The list goes on. I have not seen this much paranormal activity on any tour before. What an experience that was!

After we toured the Campbell house, we visited the nearby grave of John G. Lake. It has been said that if you stand on the grave, you can feel the bones moving. So we tried it. And nothing happened. We even layed on it and took pictures of all of us doing it. Nothing happened. But when I leaned my hand on the nearby pine tree, I felt like I was being electrocuted. I couldn’t see anything and I just heard a loud sound of rushing air. All within a few seconds. My friends said I was being shaken. Didn’t expect that. So weird. I never talk about it. No one would believe it anyway, except those who were there with me. John G. Lake in 1900, I think, was known for praying for the sick and there was a record of thousands of healings all over Spokane area. You can read the story in the Spokane history section of the library or maybe Google it. Very interesting though. The legend is that if you stand on his grave, you can still feel the annointing on his bones. Spokane has so much history to discover. I really enjoyed my time there (from 1996 to 1997).

I just want to let readers know that just because a house is deemed haunted, does not mean you will see anything if you visit it. Sometimes things will manifest and then again nothing will happen. I have been to hundreds of “old house tours” and old Ranchos in So. California in the last two years. I have seen some paranormal activity in some places, and in others there is just a very peaceful feeling or stillness in the house. Or sometimes it’s a very cold spot in the room. Sometimes it can be cold and then very hot within two feet. It’s different every place you go. But I have personally seen enough over the years to know that this stuff happens and it’s nothing to worry about, unless the spirit is violent. It is so interesting to visit all these wonderful old places and discover the history of our states. The stories just add the spice to the history, wether they are true or not. It’s all part of the fun of discovering our history. Eureka in Northern California, is on our list next. I’ll report anything new that happens. This is all an adventure!

when i was lil me and my summer camp went on a field trip to the Campbell house. when we got their i felt icky inside like something bad was gonna happen and when we got inside we went to the chirldrens bedroom and i felt a cold rush go bye me. i turned around and no one was their and no windows were opened. when we got to the top of the stairs i heard someone talk and it sounded like a lil girl saying “will u play with me” i turned around and then again no one was their. we were bye the sitting room where the grand piano was and swear i heard a key move i asked if anyone else heard it and they did so i knew i wasn’t crazy and when we left i heard my name well not my name but we had name tags at the begging of the tour and i heard the name on my name tag bye a older women and they said for me to visit again. but the weird part was i had a dream that night and we stayed the night in the house and i saw the mist and figure of an older women and a lil girl who was sitting on the bench at the mirror and her mother the older women was brushing her hair. it still freaks me out to think about it.

Anyone who says that 1000 Steps isn’t used for Satanic rituals obviously hasn’t heard correctly. When my mom was a teenager, she was a Satanist, and after she got out of it she moved to Spokane to have my brother. She was walking through there one night because we have family buried there and she walked up on some Satanist. And they were Satanists because she could recognize exactly what they were doing. She never went back at night. I myself have been there a lot because of my family. A few times I went with friends to try to find the steps and never found them, but I did experience weird things like hearing footsteps around me and there being no other footprints in the snow but my friends and I and we were standing still. We did find a pile of old caskets and headstones though, so that could be whats causing some of the activity; the Satanic rituals and the grave desecrations. But there’s definitely an eery feelings and I never want to be there alone, even during the day. Use caution, though, because the cops did end up chasing us off the property after dark.

I’ve been to the 100 Steps in Spokane (I’ve lived here my whole life) and not once has anything weird or ‘paranormal’ ever happened. My boyfriend and I even took his 9 year old daughter and 4 year old son to this particular cemetery just because it is so beautiful. So tell me, if it’s so haunted… would any rational person be willing to take their children there? Probably not.

i dont like it it is not scary ok

i dont see it now pleze leave a pic about the pic

the 1000 steps. i have walked them. made it to the top. the mousilium is impossible to miss. its visible from the bottom looming over the broken treacherous and in our case ( snowy icy stairs). we saw nothing of a spiritistic nature ( no ” ghosts”). we peered into the masolium over the gate and saw……….several piled up……..garden hoses………but the graveyard its self was beautiful. we went at dusk. well that is to say we came down the stairs in the darkness just after dusk.

So I just found this website and thought maybe I should tell you all about the place I work, a bar called the Sunset Junction. The second you are hired you are told that it is haunted. So when I was told that instead of trying to find any reason to say that something paranormal was going on, I would try to debunk it. Until One night when I was still a cocktail waitress, I had to go down into the basement to get ice. I filled all three buckets full and started up the stairs. Now let me give you a discription, The light switches on the stairs are up high, to where you have to lift your arm to reach them, There is a doorway right at the top of the stairs, so you can see anyone if they open the door, also the lights in the basement hallway are on a complete different breaker and light switches then the ones on the stairs. Anyway, so I am making my way up the stairs carrying three buckets of ice and I hear a pop, all lights out. The two lights on the stairs and all three in the basement(The ones in the bathroom, ice room, and hallway). I ran all the way to the bar, trying to get out of there. I then composed myself and told the bartender on shift what had happened. Then I set off to figure out what happened, I open the door to the stairway and reach up for the light switch to realize it had been flipped off. I flip it back on and the lights work fine. Same thing with the basement hallway, bathroom, and iceroom. I called the owner to see if it could be a breaker and found out there were three different breakers those lights where on and that if they turned back on without me messing with the breakers, then that ouldn’t have been the problem. So thats the first incident I could not debunk

Next incident was was when me and another cocktail waitress were cleaning up the bar at closing I noticed that a non working clock on the wall had a different time on it then what I had set it to the day I started working there six months earlier (It was set at 6:30). I figured someone had messed with it so I just changed it back to both hands facing straight down at six thirty. I mentioned something to the other cocktail waitress on shift in passing and she made some commet about how it was captain Bob (the nickname the staff has given the ghost). About twnty minutes later she and I were cleaning out the dishwasher when she stoped me to look at the clock. It was slowley but surley movng. She got super freaked. I told her it was probably old batteries just regenerating themselves like they do some times. Tried to take the clock off the wall but it was screwed to the wall. So for months I went on thinking it was stupid batteries. Then the owner decided to repaint the place, which all the employees helped to do. So when the clock was taken down off the wall naturaly I was curious and checked for batteries there were none. There;s another one that I can’t debunk.

Now last but not least when I had to work a morning and open the bar I was in there all by myself. So I am sitting there counting the money out to put into my till when the speakers on stage go beserk and start making a high pitch screaching noise along with bass. I run over to see why the equipment was going nuts just to find out that the entire system is not even plugged into the wall. None of it was getting power. Can’t debunk that one either.
Those are just my experiances there. I’ve heard alot more stories about this place but they are not mine to tell.

at my house we had some random experiences, like sometimes my randomly opens. And one time i plugged in my phone charger and fell out, that plug in was not loose either it takes some force to take it out.

Re: The Shaunna Keasler comment from 2006-
If you got to a mausoleum then you were in the right place. Greenwood Memorial Park. I used to work there. The place creaped me out until I actually worked there. After that, I found out it was just a nice and peaceful place.
Re: Campbell House- I’ve toured the house (which is about three minutes from the Greenwood) on many occasions. Never seen anything weird. The whole area does have an interesting history though.
The house is located in Browne’s Addition, right around the corner from the Ridge apartments. When the crew broke ground on the Ridge they found four bodies. As it turns out, these bodies belonged to the first cemetery in Spokane. It gets better: When the first mayor of Spokane saw Browne’s Addition he wanted to develop it, but nobody wanted to live next to a cemetery. So, being the mayor, he ordered that no cemetery could be within city limits. The bodies were then supposed to have been moved to Greenwood and Fairmont cemeteries. As the workers on the Ridge discovered, not everyone made the trip.
I love this town.

Going to Thousand Steps some time soon. Been there a LOT of times before. I always find the 30 or so steps that go to the mausoleum, but I have never found the supposed steps in the back. I heard THAT is the real haunted area.

Are there really steps in the back? Like, that someone has BEEN on? Or have you just HEARD of them?”

There are no stairs in the back. The back gate leads to a water reservoir for the sprinklers. Behind that is train tracks. I used to take naps back there on my lunch breaks.

I loved the Campbell House it did freak me when we were downstairs by the laundry room I felt like someone was touching me. And I did see a blurry sight in Hellen’s Room. FYI Hellen is the daughter.
