The Story

Maltby’s best-known story concerns thirteen steps said to descend into a crypt and reveal a vision of hell to someone looking back upward. A separate strand of lore describes women and children in ragged older clothing among the graves. Reports disagree about the staircase’s physical history; the cemetery itself is real.
