SPOKANE -- Halloween is tomorrow and there's a spooky spot in Spokane that some people claim is haunted.

People say they've heard voices at night at Green Wood Cemetery near Spokane Falls Community College, but most say the really creepy place is the staircase leading to the graves.

It's a staircase more than 100-years-old, called the thousand steps. They're cracked, falling apart and overgrown with weeds - and local legend says - haunted.

The legend says people who try to climb the stairs get so scared they can't go on and they hear the voices of the dead warning them off.

Dave Ittner knows there aren't a thousand of them, he doesn't buy the ghost story either. Ittner has worked there for 7-years and says he has yet to see a ghost.

The steps are a hard climb, the stairs are missing in some places, falling down in others. "I don't make much of the rumors it's probably something started in high school 50-years ago and just kinda stuck around," said Ittner.

Still people in Spokane swear there's something scary going on here.

Everyone knows hauntings only happen at night! Seems like the graveyard was just hoping to deter kids from trespassing on halloween :-P
