These are called Witches' Stairs. It is believed that the design was thought to confuse or trap witches, preventing them from easily climbing the stairs due to the staggered pattern. Unlike traditional stairs with a regular series of steps, witches stairs alternate, with each step offset to either the left or right. This design creates a zig-zag pattern, allowing for a steep incline without requiring a large horizontal space. You will occasionally find them in very old New England homes.

Fascinating architectural feature! Witches' Stairs show how superstitions influenced design choices in the past. It's intriguing to see how beliefs shaped even the smallest details of a home.

Fascinating insight into the historical significance of Witches' Stairs and their unique design to deter witches. A clever architectural solution for steep inclines in old New England homes.

Fascinanta historia despre Scările Vrăjitoarelor! Designul lor ingenios a stârnit multe legende. Oare chiar împiedicau vrăjitoarele să urce? Interesant cum arhitectura poate inspira atât de multe povești și superstiții. 🧙🏼‍♀️🏠
