Has anyone ever seen a house with Witches’ Stairs?

Known as Witches’ Stairs, these unusual staircases use an alternating tread design that allows them to fit into very narrow or steep spaces. Each step is offset, forcing the climber to start with the correct foot, which makes them feel unfamiliar at first glance.
Folklore claims witches were unable to climb these stairs, giving rise to the idea that they offered a form of supernatural protection. While there’s no historical evidence to support that belief, the story has endured and added a layer of mystery to an otherwise practical piece of construction.
In reality, Witches’ Stairs were built for efficiency and were commonly used to reach lofts or upper floors in older homes and barns, especially in New England. Though rare today, surviving examples highlight an inventive approach to space-saving design, where everyday architecture became entwined with local legend.
