>>1466972>Has anyone found one of those legendary staircases in the woods that lead to nothing?Yeah, two of them so far. One that might have been natural (three uneven steps made from one piece of stone) and one that was obviously manmade (five steps , almost perfectly even and made with mortar).
>Also anything spoopy goes.This is going to sound like a complete larp, but here goes: two or three years back, while out jogging in the evening I got lost. It was supposed to be a short 30min jog, so I had no water or equipment on me. I was on a forest trail right next to the city which I knew well and figured that I'd run a little further than usual, then take three right turns and double back.
Well, three right turns later, I was on a completely different trail (which btw I haven't been able to find since). Guess I was in the middle of runner's high and took a turn to much or something?
anyways, dusk was falling quickly and I realized that I'd gotten lost, so I fell back to my emergency protocol and just started going downhill crosscountry. I was prettysure that I was still on the right side of the mountain, and going down until the deepest point of the valley should have brought me back to the city. Except it didn't.
Then, on the other side of the valley I'd just descended into, I saw a old fence with cracked white paint. Thinking that that had to be a garden fence and that I was almost back, I walked towards it - only to see that these two segments of fence were simply standing in the middle of the forest by themselves. Still, I figured that they had to be there for a reason, and that if there'd been a garden plot once, the road had to be close, so I went on. a few metres past the fence, there was a small plot with flowers and moss on it, roughly one by three metres in size, with a fallen stone on the narrow end. That stone had a withered inscription on it, and the only part I could make out were the first seven letters of my last name.
