    I was gonna say… All the comments here are people wanting to ascend the stairs. You NEVER ascend the stairs. You stay the hell away from them! Only bad things come from messing with random stairs in the woods. Has no one here read the Search and Rescue Officer stories on Reddit?!

    Here’s the beginning of his series. The last story on this page is about the stairs, but if you continue reading his other posts in the series, he eventually meets another SAR officer who goes into depth about horror stories involving the stairs.

      Oh yes, good old Reddit times. Good to some the fellow travelers ended up here.

      I always imagined the stairs from that story to be either wooden or stone, without railings, and more dilapidated than in OP’s pic.

        In some of his stories, he described the stairs as being perfect and brand-new, as if a modern house just disappeared and left behind its stairs.

        It somehow makes it more creepy that they look like they’ve just been misplaced in space/time, instead of being an ancient crumbling relic of the past.
