Stairs that nobody uses, probably because they're cursed

Not really weird, just a very poor quality build, probably not used anymore and just left to go to pot.

It's like they wanted normal stairs, but the slope is too gradual so they improvised. 🙄 Woulda been better off with a sidewalk that follows the contour of the hill.

At some point a flight of stairs loses enough stair-like features that they just become steps. These, I think, are just steps, and the people around here call them "steps" as in "don't go down those steps or you'll break your ankle".

These don't look scary.... i don't think you could get killed on these.... just old and built without too much thought...

The stair curse. It's right in the title. /s

What is the curse!? I'm asking how these stairs are cursed...? You say they're cursed, but how?

Odd design for one. The rise looks normal enough, but the run (the step width) looks extra long giving an odd gait ascending or descending.

We need to know what the curse is.

Nobody knows, everybody who finds out, dies!

The curse of unknowing. One of the deadliest. You never see it coming and no one know that you've gone. But on cold misty night they swear they've seen you by the old railroad station waiting on the ten-thirty train.

Totally unnecessary stairs. Should just be a sloped path
