There are always subway ghosts
Subways are just passing places, people is shifting to a final destination to actually reside their lives. Generally they do not make it and it feels someway incorrect. No matter if they died in an accident, a criminal offense or just pure death, our emotions inform us the subway isn't where people ought to go away their lives (even if the odds of dying in the subway are as good as any).
Additionally, there's something about subways that make lot of people uneasy even when they do not know why: the city has opened a gap within the floor, disrupting the past and unraveling unknown secrets and now the dwelling are touring throughout the place the place the spirits of the useless dwell

A trolley terminal in the nineteen nineties Supply
1. A Useful Spectre in Tasqueña station
Tasqueña is a really busy subway terminal. Additionally the light rail, city buses and "peseros" (small van-like passenger vehicles) begin and finish their routes there. It's a place the place tons and plenty of commuters make connections that take them to their ultimate locations.
Tasqueña is also the closest station to the city's bus terminal (if you are coming or leaving from or to the south, chances are high you will use this terminal). The subway station will not be connected to the bus terminal as it is not uncommon within the USA and Europe, it's important to exit and walk a long way.
In between all these terminals, there are lengthy rows of small casual booth retailers and meals vendors catering to the commuters. To make this place even more advanced, the subway also have a big hangar there to carry out practice repairs.
You can simply get lost.
When this story began to be heard in the 80s and 90s this area was very dangerous at evening. It was dark, lone and filled with criminals. For those who had been alone and robbers spot you (and all the time did) you'll be overwhelmed, robbed and/or worse. You better reach the subway station quick and by no means be alone.
People say that when it is vitally late and you might be alone, an previous man counsel strolling collectively to the subway and you agree straight away (who wouldn't). Nevertheless, while you reach the subway stairs, the person, who at all times moved within the shadows, says he'll some place forward and proceed walking.
You see, this does not make sense. No person in his right mind would go there at night; it's a parking zone.
Individuals say that this man is basically the ghost of somebody who was going to the subway however received lost and was murdered in that parking zone and now he helps people attain the subway safely.
Really?
This appears to be the perfect recognized subway ghost story. Nonetheless I attempted to seek out extra details about this ghost and there is not a lot; only a faux LinkIn profile and the same reteling of this story. I assumed that if there were many tales from residing subway inspectors, some news media would had coated the story by now.
I consider this is simply the Mexican model of an urban legend we love worldwide. The worker that retains performing his duty even useless.
2. The Dutiful Subway Inspector in Pino Suárez Station
When subway inspectors verify the tunnels after closing hours they discover a man who should not be there. Once they question this man he solutions in a method that implies he is also a subway worker and offers his name and company id.
Nevertheless, Victor Castilla Platonoff has been loss of life since 1989 as the true inspectors discover out after they report the incident to their boss. The boss even reveals an old picture and the inspectors instantly determine the person.
It's mentioned that he was a really skilled worker who at all times followed guidelines, however simply not the day he was hit by a practice within the Pino Suarez - Zócalo Stations Phase. Protocols say they need to stroll in opposite direction to the trains, but he was strolling in the identical route and didn't see the prepare coming.
It appears he hasn't realized he's dead. He reveals to work after three.00 am daily.
3. Suicide Victims among the many Residing
There are many suicides in the underground. This isn't just in Mexico, it's a common drawback to all subway systems. It is mentioned that suicide victims stay in this place, they all of a sudden appear for a second and a minute later they are gone.
These ghosts are troublesome to spot as a result of there is always an excessive amount of people moving round and they do not bother the dwelling commuters; but generally they speak with residing folks, who look away one second and find them gone once they look back.
It is usually stated that after closing time, these ghosts seem within the tracks, platforms or trains where they misplaced their life.
There are additionally the stories of the inspectors which are going to take away the corpes, moving via a crowd of onlookers. Someone within the platform catches their attention, she says something variety that makes them take a look at her face earlier than taking place. Within the tracks the inspectors uncover that the suicide victim is the person they simply saw a couple of moments earlier than.
4. Knocking on the Walls and Shadows within the Panteones - Tacuba Tunnels
"Panteones" is the Spanish word for "Graveyards". The Panteones Station was named this manner because it's shut to two old graveyards, the Spanish and the British graveyards.
It is said that within the tunnel connecting Station Panteones to Station Tacuba, you can hear knocks on the tunnel partitions and shadow "lumps" a couple of ft ahead that dissapear as you get close.
Additionally it is stated that after closing time you possibly can hear screams in a number of tunnels. It is a constant among subway staff; all of them agree there's something very eerie down there.

Panteones, Refinería 18 de Marzo, Miguel Hidalgo, 11219 Ciudad de México, D.F., México
Metro Tacuba, Calzada México-Tacuba, Tacuba, Miguel Hidalgo, 11410 Ciudad de México, D.F., México
The 1975 practice colission
It's believed the accident was really sabotage by the subway administration to drive the implementation of auto pilots, though they did not intend to kill anyone.
This may be an city legend, however there could also be more to it as a result of information are incomplete or conveniently lost. The motive force was sentenced to 12 years as a result of he didn't slow down when ordered however his statements of the system's malfunctioning had been disregarded. Individuals think he was a scapegoat.
5. The Phantom Practice
It is stated that at three:00 am an empty prepare is seen transferring from Zocalo to Allende Station. It would not cease at any of those stations it just passes by and then dissapear till the next day.
Some say that this can be associated to an accident that occurred in 1975, where no less than 31 people died. The accident happened in Viaducto Station, but it's the similar line that takes you there. It was the worst accident in Mexico Metropolis's subway history and is very shady.
It's also said that if you are sleeping and don't get down in the terminal on the last practice, you'll finish in a ghost terminal from the place you can't exit or you will preserve traveling and see amazing things, resembling an underground lake, a number of strange creatures and in latest instances some zombie like vampires.
