One of my biggest annoyances in these creepy -pasta-type stories is when a character who clearly knows that something is going on just arbitrarily refuses to tell other people when they ask. There's often no reason for it and it winds up being more dangerous to not tell the characters involved and feels very much like the author actively reaching into their story snd silencing a character because they either want to be mysterious or else don't have a planned answer for the mystery.

That’s generally a trope in both comedy and horror. It’s definitely a way to create tension and lead to either avoidable tragedy or exaggerated misunderstandings. And it reflects the very real situation of authority figures, institutions, governments or just arrogant individuals actually withholding crucial information and the trouble it causes.

This sounds like remarkably poor management of the situation. If I were in charge of devil stairs national park I would probably just restrict most areas so hikers don’t find the stairs. Also it’s probably best to be more upfront with your rangers about these things since it sounds like they run into them every other week, being vague and spooky about them helps no one. Imagine if we treated other dangers like this “if you see a forest fire just ignore it and don’t tell anyone that forest fires exist” that attitude will just get more people killed or missing.
@ladyofolyas Жыл бұрын
I believe that's the thing though, like stated you never see the same staircase twice, they seem to appear and disappear randomly (or in a distinct pattern) thus making it impossible to just corner off a part of the woods to keep visitors away from them. Not to mention, curiosity killed the cat, people are going to be intrigued by out of bounds areas in an otherwise public place. As for informing new guys, yeah, probably a good idea to let them know these things are dangerous, but how much would you tell them and would you even then be sure they understand the consequences? Same argument clearly goes as for above, new guys might get overly curious if you're vague, but will they take you seriously if you tell them these random stairs have a potential to kill people. A forest fire is quantifiable, you see the flames and you understand the destructive potential, I doubt most people would see a flight of stairs and immediately think, yes, this is deadly. Ultimately I doubt there would be a good way to deal with something like this idea, beyond ignore it. It may not be normal to most, but normal is relative, and if you understand to stay away from it because everyone else does, then that's your normal. In any case, thank you for attending my TED talk.

I know this is 2 years old but I'm catching up. As an archaeologist I see a lot of stairs to nowhere...they tend to be the most sturdy parts of a homestead (front door/porch stairs) so they frequently remain when the rest of the home is gone. Although these are usually 5 steps or less and not carpeted, unlike the ones in the reports. I feel like this is probably a creepypasta inspired by someone who saw one of these (admittedly creepy) archaeological set of stairs. But also I love this paranormal stuff....and tbh I'd be a victim of these because it would be my job to go document them, lol.

I've run across these "stairs to nowhere" on several occasions. There is nothing supernatural about them. One of them is about 1/4 mile off a major trail in my local area. It's a collection of seemingly random concrete slabs in various stages of degradation along with three separate staircases. Two going up, and one going down. They were part of a re-forestation camp in the 1920s. On one of the staircases, the date they were laid is etched in, 1926. The stairs are in such good condition they don't look more than a handful of years old. There's a historical marker nearby explaining the surrounding area. The superstructures of the buildings were all pre-fabricated, so they were able to be disassembled once the project in the area was completed. That's what these stairs to nowhere are. They're stairs to structures that have fallen down or been disassembled nearly 100 years ago. People forget that in the 30s and 40s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built thousands of temporary buildings all across the country on national and state forestry lands and then reclaimed what they could when the project was over. If the stairs were too hard to take, they left them. The records exist somewhere. They are not magic portals, but because they appear mysterious, then superstitions spring up over time. They exist in all walks of life.

I know this is fictional, but when I first discovered this redit thread I was in college and a friend’s sister had actually worked in search and rescue. She happened to be visiting and I asked her if there was any validity to random staircases in the wood and with zero hesitation she answered “yeah, see them all the time.” When I tell you I lost it... she did say some of them had a purpose, the stairs lead to platforms used by hunters. But most of them lead to no where and confirmed there was all different types, some carpeted, some concrete, some wood and so on. She acted like it was no big deal, like it was an obvious fact, much like the writer here does. She didn’t say if there was strange happenings connected to the stairs, just said they existed.

I've seen staircases out in the woods! But uh. That's mostly because staircases tend to be more secure than a lot of bits, and survive demolishment/rot a bit longer. Guess it's a wee bit different when the staircases are part of a old cabin, eh? Never seen hunter stands with stairs going up to them, though we have a bunch laying around. Most of them are just platforms nailed onto trees with ladders nailed on sometimes, and sometimes ropes instead. There's a few places I've seen concrete stairs mostly by themself, though. But I assume those were also from old buildings. (I.E. There's a couple out near the old coastal defense bunkers in the totally overgrown areas.)

I even wrote a capstone film project based on the story being about suitcases. Some of the rookie stories had opened them and found strange items in them and their trainers wouldn’t let them talk about what they found and told them to put them back. The idea that they were about suitcases and that their content related to the cases while also possessing the similar qualities to the staircases was much more terrifying. Am I the only one to experience this, does anyone else have memories of this? Like I said I could just be dyslexic.

What’s scary is that you CAN find random stairs in the woods! Usually front steps or base stairs are all that’s left of a house that has otherwise burned to the ground or rotted away. This depends on the type of building and stairs, naturally, only a few steps are gonna still be around. If your front steps are connected directly to your concrete foundation, they might survive a fire. So in an area that used to be populated, or maybe in an area where cabins are you can find stairs. They won’t be common, in the middle of nowhere, totally alone/ separated from a house, or clean and perfect like these magic stairs, but they’re out there!

The one story about the campfire kid I'll call him, I was tripping, I was 21 and just being a dumb kid but I was with a friend and we started a campfire. Now believe me or not but I always found that tripping was sorta a spiritual experience, like we're looking into a separate dimension no one can see because I wasn't seeing things that weren't there. My friend decided to play guitar and it was so awesome, then he decides he's going to walk off and go pee, he leaves for what felt like hours but it was probably 5 minutes and while he was gone I was staring at the fire and I swear to God it started talking to me but not like how people talk. It was so strange, I'd tripped a bunch before and I never had something like this happen, I can't describe how it sounded or exactly what it said but it was very ominous and scary like it was telling me some truths of things that I wasn't supposed to know. When my friend got back he asked what was wrong because he said I was so pale and like catatonic and all I did was grab he arm and look at him and I said "do not ever leave me again." I wasn't able to explain it at that time since we were still tripping and we went inside and talked and I forgot about it until the next morning when he asked. I've tripped after that time but never something sorta almost cosmic quite happened to that extent. I was a seasoned tripper, I'm not proud I'm too old for that shit now but it was pretty insane, I'd never even felt fear like that so moral of the story; don't take acid and stare at a campfire because you will not like what it says.

actually found one of these in the woods behind my house when i was real young, in autumn i think. i was like 8 or 9, walking though the woods with my dad (maybe a mile or two out? it was the farthest we'd gone at the time) and we came across said staircase. it was in a small dip in the ground, and according to my dad, looked brand new, with vibrant blue-green (maybe teal?) paint with a white trim and dark wooden steps. according to him, he got a weird vibe from it, kept me from going anywhere near it, and hearing these stories, i'm glad he did. we told my mom, but (as you can probably imagine) she didn't believe that we had found a pristine staircase in the middle of the goddamn woods. we took her out to see it for herself, but it was just gone. not even a paint chip, it was like it just vanished into thin air. there was just a rectangular imprint in the leaves, so it was _definitely_ there before. we didn't go out that far again, with the one singular exception being the last day before we fully moved into our new house 2-ish hours away, middle of winter. i figured that since we were moving, i should face my fear of the staircases and prove it wasn't real or had no power over me or something like that. i found the spot, and there it was, in the exact same fucking spot. but it wasn't the same teal staircase, oh no. swear on my life and god as my witness, it was a fucking full size ESCALATOR. like the ones in those malls, with the 20 foot tall floors or whatever and the glass railings, it was huge, even had the bit where the steps slide into the ground, the whole works. i remember all sound just ceasing the moment i laid eyes on it, like someone just flipped a switch; birds, wind, the creaking of trees, all of it just stopped. i don't think i even heard my own _breathing._ i stared at it for what was probably only a few seconds, but it definitely felt like hours. then i fucking bolted, because i'd had nightmares about the first set for years, like what would happen to me if i had so much as touched them and all that (and, obviously, all sound ceasing in the middle of the woods is not under _any_ circumstances a good sign,) and you know how children's imaginations are. on the bright side, i now have some decent spooky campfire stories, at the expense of a poor night's sleep.

Regardless, it was one of those big, old-fashioned shed and had a brick staircase leading up the foundation. When it burned down it left a green clearing in the middle of the woods with a staircase leading to nowhere. Even knowing how those stairs came to be, growing up they felt supernatural, even magical.

This is a fairly old video so I doubt anybody will ever see this but this story has reminded me of a weird experience I had as a kid and have only told a few people about since then. I moved from my grandma's house at about 9 years old and I haven't been there for years since she passed it down to some family we don't visit much. Leading to the back yard is a separate room which acts as a sort of storage/staircase section that connects the first floor/basement and second floor of the house, in the empty section under the second flight, on the side of the wall closest outside is a very tiny room. Even before I was born, it has been inaccessible due to the amount of random things covering the way leading to the door and the stair rail separating the section. I have asked about everyone who's ever been in that house, what was behind the door under to staircase, but nobody ever had an answer and guessed that it might be some old storage space with a lawn mower inside long forgotten. It's a very plausible explanation but I still had a really weird feeling about the room and would sometimes catch myself staring at the tiny crack in the doorway leading to the pitch blackness of the room when I would stand on the steps. At night, I was so afraid that I couldn't even get myself to stay on top of the platform over the room and would run past the sections without looking out of fear of something staring back. And for a very long time, I chalked it up to a child's overactive imagination, plus when I moved, there was no reason to keep thinking about it. However, one night I stood up late with my family telling scary stories about that house (there were many many unexplainable events which happened in and around that house), and I just happened to mention how unexplainably afraid I was of the small room under the stairs. I joked about how maybe I wanted something to be afraid of since there were some questionable red stains in that section of the house so my imagination decided to run wild. But to my surprise, my dad told me that I was not the first to feel that way. In fact, most people who were living there, including all my family, had an uneasy feeling about the same room and my Dad, afraid of scaring us when we were still living there, hadn't told us that when the house was first purchased, as they were storing things, they opened the room to find a five point star painted on the ceiling of the platform connected to the staircase. It looked as if previous owners or squatters had used the room to scribble nonsensical symbols and the five point star as a joke, or so they hoped. Of course, I was absolutely livid that they had kept this from me for so long and asked if they kept anything else about the room from me. Just then, my brother recounted a memory about the room which he neglected to tell me but wasn't taken seriously for at the time since he was about my age when it happened. He claimed when he was climbing the stairs one night, the usually pitch black room had a light coming from inside. He tried to figure out how that was possible considering that nobody could have gotten past the mess blocking the door so he tried peaking in but it was no use. The most he could tell was that the light was yellowish in color and the room seemed to be empty, so he figured that maybe our Dad or grandparents who were also living there, were doing some sort of work on the room. This is when my Dad got extremely confused because apparently, there was lightbulb inside with the typical string hanging from it but when pulled, it looked like the lightbulb had burned out long ago and because they intended to use it for storage, they never replaced it. We thought about bringing this up to our grandparents to see whether they also had weird encounters with the room but decided we probably wouldn't get anything from them anyway since the times that we told them about freaky incidents, they resolved to telling us that we were "overthinking" and had even told us not to talk about it at some points. Since then, we have never seen inside of that room and probably never will but honestly, it's probably for the best!

So my grandparents live in Michigan and have around 60 acres of land. back when i was like 14 my cousin and I were riding 4 wheelers through the forest and came to a clearing with a small stoneish staircase. Shit was weird as hell to just randomly come across, but after further inspection we realized it was the remains of an old stone house that had been destroyed by time. There were big stone blocks allll over the place and even a set of stone basement stairs that we could walk down what was once a basement. All that was down there were old beer bottles and pepsi cans, the ones that had the small triangle hole you drank out of instead of a pull tab. Anyways it was interesting and this video reminded of that.

I looked down and saw a random concrete well thing jutting out of the ground with a manhole cover on top. In the middle of the forest. No other development nearby, not a road or even survey stakes stuck in to the ground. Just a random manhole.

I also have a stair sighting of my own: A few months ago, biking along a newly built gravel road through the local forests, to provide access to a power line construction site. It had only been there for about a week, having been plowed through random forest. The road was on a grade, so to one side you had a bank where they pushed off all of the bushes, soil, rocks and stuff. And lying on that pile were two large metal pieces, being mirrors of each other. They were each a frame of a 3 step staircase, made up off fairly heavy flat stock, with sheet metal welded to one side to close it off. The pieces were heavily rusted, and my only guess at what used to make up the steps were some remains of rotted boards. There was seemingly no rhyme or reason as to why these heavy duty stair frames where out in the middle of nowhere. They were far to weathered to have come from the construction crew, but they also couldn't have been a hunters blind, as in my area, we only use high blinds of at least 5m, so these stairs would have been way to low, plus, blinds aren't made of welded steel, too expensive and to hard to transport through rough terrain, each of the frames was so heavy i could barely lift them. They also didn't seen to come from any sort of logging machinery.

the guy whos hand got chopped is really intriguing to me, because in the thread (not mentioned in the video) he mentioned how he was on a case and found a full, intact hand growing out of a fallen log. (i read the whole thing ageeees ago so the details r a tiny foggy) its far enough away from the stairs story that you dont really notice, but its definitely interesting. usually there arnt hands disappearing and being found, so its odd its mentioned twice

@@cthulhluftagn3812 isn't that what makes it good though? The fact that you have absolutely no idea what the deal with the stairs is? The biggest element of horror is using what the audience doesn't know as a feature. Its not an unanswered question like the creator forgot to tie that end off, its a part of the narrative. If we knew everything about the stairs it just wouldn't be scary. We know what they CAN do but there's no telling what it could do. And the fact that the stairs are used scarcely is actually good in my opinion. They're not overdone or used to the point where the main character can just ignore them. They pop up just enough to be something worth mentioning but not to the point where the main character and the audience go "this is life now I guess." So maybe it's not the most creative or groundbreaking story, but it's not a cliche or lackluster one either. Of course, you're still entitled to your own opinions about it.

Not exactly the woods, but in the desert at an abandoned house, there was a random piece of a stairs that went up three steps. Sure, it isn't the woods, but since it was next to a creepy abandoned house in the desert, it probably would still have that bad voodoo. So, obviously I went up it, and nothing happened, and sadly, my life is still the same from this experience. So, my advice from this situation, go up every single stair case you see please, you should really do it, do it you should really do it do it right now go do it do it

Disclaimer that I'm only engaging with this, aware that it's a work of fiction. But these sound less like gateways and more like traps. Staircases are a human invention. The carpeted ones in particular sound very modern. Also taking into account the story of a SAR being clearly compelled to approach them until jostled out of the "trance" - the stairs seem clearly designed to attract human attention. Maybe they even feed on our subconscious for input as to what form they should take and either alter themselves, or just the way we perceive them, to appear a certain way to us. They work on our curiosity, and seemingly even have at least some ability to get into our heads, so we try to interact with them and then something bad happens - I don't remember any of these stories attributing a positive event to the staircases. So it sounds like a trap, or some kind of fucked up prank, by something that doesn't see human life as worthwhile or significant. Like they're magnifying glasses and we're ants. If that's the case, then who or what is using the magnifying glass? There's a lot of ways this pasta could('ve) go(ne).
@gyver84482 жыл бұрын

I was super active on NoSleep when this series debuted and it was AGONIZING waiting for new parts to come out. the entries always ended with a sentence like, “that’s all I can talk about for now, I’ll write more when I get some time in the next week or so,” or “these posts have attracted too much attention from the higher-ups, I have to wait until things cool off before writing again.”’it always made me so sad, wishing that the author would just sit down and pound out a whole Harry Potter length series lol. such a great and immersive series, give them all a read, you won’t regret it. it was so much fun talking in the comments with a bunch of other redditors role-playing and pretending everything was real. people were bringing up wendigos, fae, skinwalkers, all manner of mythical creatures and shit, trying to explain what the SAR Officer had described in their stories. there was always one or two people in the comments on NoSleep that role-played as some sort of investigator or cryptozoologist (of course their characters were super experienced and the most knowledgeable in their respective fields, lol), and they would write a comment about how they’re 150% sure it’s X, Y or Z, based on this thing that happened on their last job outing or some shit (the posts were always well researched and the justifications / storytelling and fictional elements were really nicely written). some absolutely hilarious stuff, some downright idiotic stuff, but the comments were always a fun place to be, ESPECIALLY for this series.
