Maybe it's Maybelline. Hi Ghosties, I'm Macy. And I'm Natalie. And the U.S. has more than 50 million acres designated and protected for our national parks. You'll find all sorts of wildlife and beauty within those boundaries, and families flock to them year-round. But there are some who believe these parks hold other things deep inside. There are secrets kept amongst those trees and waterfalls. There are some who believe in cryptids and the fae calling these parks home. Others think there may be portals to other places, dimensions that lie inside, waiting for some unsuspecting passerby to make contact. There are many people who happen upon something they just can't explain while hiking the most desolate areas of our world.
Like these mysterious stairs in the woods. These steps stand tall, surrounded by nature, completely out of place, and look as though they lead to nowhere. Wait, is this what we're doing? Yes. The people who work day in and day out within those parks have stories and lucky for us, some of them turn to Reddit. Today we'll be discussing one of those secrets kept until about 11 years ago. The string of stories that started the discussion into the phenomenon we all know today as the staircases in the woods.
Oh,
my
gosh.
What are the mysterious “stairs in the woods” that the hosts introduce?
What a good day. This is a great day. This was yet another one on your list. I know. And I didn't think you would ever want to do this one. Because the more things I suggest, the more you're like, well, I looked into it and it's just a creepypasta. No. No. Okay. Is it?

When the time came. I wasn't like first there, but I was there in the early days for these stories. Okay. For sure.

How did the Reddit user SearchAndRescueWoods first describe the staircase phenomenon?
I didn't. Unbeknownst to me, I know all the creepypastas. Yeah. Unfortunately. And
I thought they were real. It's because when these creepypastas were being made, you were prime target. I was like 13. You were like junior high, early high school.
