But the stairs I'm talking about today are different.
These stairs are nice and clean with no indication of a former home anywhere in sight.
No cellar, no basement, nothing.
No foundations.
They rise up into the sky and give off a feeling of unease to all who come near.
They are free of vegetation and the animals in the area seem to avoid them too.
sometimes a sound emits from them and those who come across them feel like they shouldn't be there but are also drawn to them like a magnet some who choose to go against their gut and climb them anyway experience all manner of strange encounters getting injured, or disappearing altogether.
In 2015, a user on Reddit named SearchAndRescueWoods took to the r slash no sleep sub and detailed their strange and unusual encounters while out working in an undisclosed park.
Their first post, I'm a search and rescue officer for the U.S. Forest Service, I have some stories to tell, took the internet by storm.
I've seen this exact
post.
Yeah, like literally.
They listed out stories of searching for lost children and hikers and coming across some of the most terrifying and mysterious things in those woods.
The stairs are real.
They really do exist and they are out there.
What's not clear is if any of these stories are real, especially considering the source.
Okay, so the stairs really are out there.
There are sometimes stairs in the woods.
Okay, so see, this doesn't, I don't feel as duped then.
Yes.
Because there are stairs in the woods.
You don't know.
I can choose to believe
what sounds real.
