Over the last six months I have had two different park rangers and a game warden ask me if I knew anything about these abandoned staircases in the middle of nowhere. I have never heard of this before.
In national parks around the world, so the story goes, there are abandoned staircases. Deep in the woods, where no man appears to have ever lived, you’ll find them – just a staircase, no other structure. Some of the staircases are brick, some in ruins, some perfectly sturdy, some cast iron spirals like the kind you’d find in a lighthouse, reaching up to nowhere.
The game warden explained to me he was told not to go near them and never go up the stairs almost like a warning. The one he found was in perfect condition almost like it was just built but it led to nowhere and there was no sign of an old building that it was once apart of.
I have never heard of this before and all I can find online is Reddit users talking about it and that doesn’t seem very reliable to me. If it is true, it seems like a weird thing to do in the middle of nowhere. I am sure there is a rational explanation for this. Maybe there was once a building there and all that remains is the staircase?
Have any of the members heard of this?
