Another anecdotal description of old staircases that I've heard of before is from Burgos castle in Spain, where (it's said) that the stairs to the bottom of the well change direction half way down to prevent you from getting too dizzy [1]

> Se accede al interior por unas escaleras de caracol. Para evitar el mareo, los 4 primeros tramos se hacen en el sentido de las agujas del reloj y los dos Ășltimos tramos en sentido contrario.
