Urban myths in the Caracas Metro - Mitos urbanos en el Metro de Caracas
I live in Caracas a beautiful city of Venezuela, the capital to be more accurate. During the day as in any place people work and move around the city using the Metro of Caracas, during the day everything is quiet but when nightfall happen very strange things here. Stories that for me that I am a user of this system of transport shocked me and I had a little skin bristling. I thought that the people who told me wanted to scare me and see my reaction, but when I get home investigate a little on the internet and find something disturbing things, things that only relate to their workers, since they are the only ones who sleep in the facilities at night when they have to stay to Mount guard, on the timetable between 9:30 pm and 5:30 am , where paranormal events are developed, ghostly apparitions and irregular events.
The bride of the teeth
at the station College of Engineers, Line 1 of the subway, there is a story that disturbs the security personnel.
One of the workers narrated the story of a young dentist, who says, was going to be married in a temple that is on the outskirts of the station. However, on the day of his wedding, the groom left her and she, in desperation, decided to enter the premises with her wedding dress and throw herself on the rails of the train.
Recently, the operator details that "entered the night shift, making the visual tour of the security cameras," my co-worker tells me to look at camera number 3 on the platform, because it seemed to have visualized something, when I check, we were able to observe the image of a woman dressed as a bride, walking along the rails of the station, disappearing as we passed a few seconds.
The floating girl
at the College of Engineers not only tell the story of the bride who sorrow for the rails of the train tracks, another operator revealed what happened to him "on a normal working day night."
After closing the station, the worker told us that he was put to rest in the office, because there was not much work at that time. Once the people of the season finished doing the routine work, all of a sudden everyone who kept working on the first floor, ran out and started ringing the office bell, accumulateing at the door trying to get in, hitting him.
"I thought you were going to steal, when I go out, I see there were eight people." I open the door and come running, I look and from the door I saw nothing, "but when I go out and see the end of the aisle, there was a girl, dressed in white, with long black hair, with her back, when under the eyes she didn't see her feet, what I did was run back to the office stunned and surprised by what happened."
The Phantom Train mechanic
in Propatria, specifically in the courtyards and workshops, a place where they guard the units and wagons that are not operational, in the night time usually start to move the machines, the trains turn on and the lights go out.
"In the workshops appears a mechanic, who calls any companion and tells him that there is a train with faults. The alarmed team goes immediately and tries to serve it, but it turns out that there is nothing and when they ask for a high operator, of white skin, it turns out that the mechanic does not exist, but he was a maintenance lord who doing his work on the trains, sadly died, being the soul in sorrow that rounds the workshops of the sheltered yards " , detailed one of the workers.
"The Mechanic", as he is known in the country, usually appears when there are new personnel, cautious of anything that happens on idle trains.
The lost passenger
in the Capitol, they tell the horrifying story that several companions were at the National Police Post, which leads to the transfer, as to 1:00am while talking 3 officials and 2 operators of the system, suddenly observe something that caused concern.
"We were talking, hoping to finish some jobs and saw a person go through the transfer, and we shouted because at that time the stations are closed, however, as we approach the hallway the shadow of the person disappeared before us."
In all seasons, they say that the common citizen can be found with different stories, due to the multiple suicides that stand out "attracts a lot of these things", the workers agree that the station most feared for their appearances is College of engineers.
These are some of the stories I could find reviewing the Internet, there are many but the hare in a second part.
