00:00hopefully i don't dox myself by writing this but i'm a graffiti artist or as some might see it a
00:17delinquent i'm fine with either title point is i like to spray paint and i'm decent with a can in
00:23my hand the tagging community is atrocious people are unfriendly and there's no respect between
00:28artists because of this i've adopted a much more inconspicuous routine i like tagging up quieter
00:35spots where my art likely won't be seen by other artists or the general public old train lines are
00:41usually a good bet since the train cars are endless and new trains get decommissioned and left to rot
00:46on them all the time my friend lucas likes to come with me when i tag up even though he's not big into
00:51the whole thing himself i welcome the company some people don't understand the importance of a good
00:56friend and i think that's sad most of my other friends don't seem to respect my time or interests
01:01as much as he seems to lucas and i found ourselves smoking on some nameless set of old tracks i found
01:07earlier that day on google maps i'm not a big stoner myself but he smokes a lot of weed so i often
01:13indulge to match his vibe it wasn't that late maybe a little past 10 p.m we finished a j and talked as
01:20we walked alongside the old rusty freight train oddly enough there wasn't a single tag on the
01:25entire train it must have been recently moved here i thought excited that i'd get first dibs
01:31on such a good surface i tossed lucas a can for him to mess around with and i started doing my own
01:36thing about five minutes later i finished my first tag i admired it for a bit before moving to the next
01:44car then the next about 15 minutes and two paint cans later i had three decent tags up adjacent to
01:51one another and i was pretty proud of myself for how they looked in combination with each other
01:55sorry in advance if this offends anyone but i tend to discard my empty cans wherever they go dry
02:00so i flung them back the way we had come enjoying the satisfying clattering sound a ball bearing makes
02:06when bouncing around the inside of an empty can i then caught up with lucas who had seemingly rolled
02:11and lit another joint neglecting the paint i had given him for context the reason i'm not a big
02:16stoner is because i started getting unbearable anxiety highs much more frequently maybe 90 of the
02:22time in hindsight smoking two j's with lucas was a borderline detrimental decision after all we were
02:29doing something illegal which was already pretty anxiety inducing i smoked the second joint anyway
02:34confident that i'd be okay as soon as the final sparks floated off the j that's when we heard it
02:41a muffled clang from somewhere behind us rang out into the night
02:45the two of us froze and stared into the darkness i could feel droplets of sweat forming around my
02:52neck as adrenaline began coursing through me i couldn't tell if the sound had come from outside
02:57of the train or from inside one of the cars it was hard to tell which option was worse
03:01we waited for a full minute in silence and nothing that's when i whipped out my phone and recorded this
03:08video
03:08as the video shows whoever made that noise picked up one of my empty paint cans and threw it at us
03:31before chasing and shouting at us you can't really see the paint can in the video but i swear to you
03:37that's what the first sound was as we frantically made our escape whoever was behind us yelled you
03:43better not trip boy a few seconds later an actual gunshot sounded off behind us almost causing lucas
03:50to trip and fall it startled me so much that my finger slipped off the record button on snapchat and
03:55the video cut out we bolted down the tracks until they intersected a main road and didn't stop running
04:00until we were a safe distance away i don't think i've ever been more terrified in my entire life
04:06it didn't help that i was stoned out of my mind my hands were literally shaking so were lucas's
04:12we found our way back to the car and drove home in silence what was i supposed to do call the police
04:18i was literally breaking the law that wasn't an option the story doesn't end there though i actually
04:25went back to those tracks a few weeks later but this time during the day and equipped with my trusty
04:30glock 17 to my surprise the train was still there despite that there was a pretty glaring difference
04:36this time around in the three spots where my tags had previously been were now ugly blotches of red
04:42paint someone had deliberately covered my work quietly i kept investigating and eventually came to a train
04:49car with its door wide open i took a look inside and it was bizarre the train car was completely empty
04:57except for a chair in the direct center and what looked like ropes and chains scattered about
05:02some of the ropes were wrapped around the legs of the chair and others were just lying on the floor
05:07the weirdest part was the smell though the whole car smelled like bleach if you closed your eyes you
05:13would have guessed you were in a cleaning supply closet i can't overstate the smell though it literally
05:18smelled like the whole train car had been doused in bleach i went to take a picture of the scene when i
05:24thought i heard a metal clang somewhere further down the train i could have imagined it but i wasn't
05:30taking any chances that was enough for me i was out of there as quickly as i had come i've told so
05:37many people this story and none of them could rationalize that psycho's actions in a way that
05:41makes sense i doubt a homeless person would be able to get their hands on a gun but i can't fathom why
05:47someone other than a homeless person would respond so aggressively and why they decided to cover up
05:52my tags as another mystery i think the most disturbing aspect of this whole thing was the
05:57chair in the middle of the train car i really want to go back to those tracks just to take a picture
06:02of what i saw but i haven't worked up the courage to i have no idea if whoever was there that night
06:08was really shooting to kill us or just trying to scare us but sometimes late at night when it's
06:14just me and my thoughts i can still hear that shot ringing in my ears
06:18as i'm writing this it's early july this story took place at the beginning of summer
06:33i usually try to hang around my college town or travel to europe in the summer as a way to avoid
06:39going home but that wasn't a possibility this time around i found myself reluctantly returning home
06:45at the beginning of the summer i just had to make it through one week and then i'd be on a plane to
06:49germany i didn't really feel like seeing any of my old friends but i wasn't too keen on staying home
06:55either so i found myself waking up early and spending my entire days hiking watching movies or even just
07:01driving around aimlessly it was my last day home i was getting bored of the stuff i had been doing
07:06and wanted to do something a little more exciting my friends and i used to train hop one of the many
07:12unruly activities that i had since cut out of my life i decided what the hell and drove to a secluded
07:17set of tracks i knew about freight trains always passed through here so i knew there would be many
07:22options the tracks were surrounded by trees and various flora part of the reason i had chosen them
07:28the last thing i needed was to be caught for doing an illegal activity after having been clean for so
07:34many years i parked my car and made my way over to the tracks let me describe the layout so it's easy
07:40to understand this specific set of tracks ran through the trees for a while before entering a
07:46tunnel there was a very small clearing on the other side of the tunnel and then a massive bridge over
07:50the water my friends and i used to ride the train all the way across the bridge but since it was just
07:56me i would have no way of getting back to my car unless i felt like walking 10 miles so i decided that
08:02i'd hop on the train and take it through the tunnel hop off and get a peaceful walk back to my car
08:07i walked along the tracks and waited for a train to pass it was probably two or three in the afternoon
08:13finally after about 10 minutes of walking i started to feel the familiar vibration in the rails
08:18i quickly ran to the side and tried my best to stay out of sight usually as far as i know freight train
08:25conductors didn't care enough to report people walking along the tracks but i didn't want to take any
08:30chances the train passed and i waited for a good amount of cars to go by before emerging from my
08:36hiding spot i picked a car that looked easily attainable and began jogging alongside the train
08:41like i had done a hundred times before once i was confident enough i grabbed hold of the ladder and
08:47swung myself up it was pretty easy the train wasn't traveling very quickly as my part of the train was
08:53about to enter the tunnel i saw a strange flash of light from up ahead i assumed it was a spark from
08:59the train or something but truth be told i had never seen anything like it before i hope there
09:04wasn't an errant wire or something dangerous in the tunnel but it was too late to hop off the train
09:10started picking up speed since the tunnel was perfectly straight and i closed my eyes as the
09:14adrenaline rush started coming on just then i felt a hand reach out from the darkness and literally
09:20grabbed my leg i lost my footing and nearly slipped but my hands were firmly gripping the train i screamed
09:27and kicked but the train sped by before i could make contact with anything before i could even
09:32comprehend what just happened i felt another hand slap against my leg i screamed again before scrambling
09:38up the ladder hopefully out of reach my heart was racing what the hell just happened the train exited
09:45the tunnel and i hopped off without thinking i waited for the train to completely pass and watched to
09:50chug over the bridge i remember pacing back and forth in the little clearing thinking about what just
09:56happened like were there really people in the tunnel and what could they possibly be doing there
10:01why the hell would they try to drag me down all these thoughts and more were racing through my mind
10:06when a stark realization struck me in the face the only way back to my car was through the tunnel
10:12there was absolutely no chance in hell i was walking back through that tunnel with those people in
10:16there especially since they'd be able to see my silhouette and i'd be walking through darkness
10:21i sat on the ground for what felt like forever there was no other option i couldn't walk across
10:27the bridge without risking my life a train could come along at any second and the bridge was too long
10:33i considered calling someone to come rescue me but i wasn't even sure if they'd be able to do anything
10:38police weren't an option i was breaking the law just being here i had no choice i picked up a rock
10:45and started making my way through the tunnel there were two people in there which i knew for a fact
10:50but there could have been more i had no idea i got about halfway to the point where i felt the second
10:55set of hands when i heard something a faint clicking was coming from somewhere in the tunnel it sounded like
11:02a human clicking their tongue but it could have been made by a machine it was honestly hard to tell
11:08i froze and thought to myself continuing to walk this tunnel was a death sentence i felt a rush of
11:14confidence and pulled out my phone you better stay back or i'll shoot i threatened my words echoing
11:20off the tunnel walls there was a moment of silence the clicking stopped as quickly as it had begun
11:27i was obviously bluffing about having a gun but i figured it was better to bluff than just walk in
11:31silence i then pulled up a video on youtube of a gunshot sound effect turned up my phone's
11:36volume and played it it was honestly louder than i was expecting and with the echo of the tunnel i
11:42prayed to god that whoever was in there bought it without waiting another second i sprinted full
11:48speed into the darkness bracing myself for a fight i didn't stop running until i had reached the other
11:53side by some miracle no one tried to grab me after making it out of the tunnel i looked back there was
12:00another flash from deep in the tunnel this time though it subsided long enough for me to clearly
12:06see two silhouettes standing on the tracks facing me that was it for me i turned to leave but as i
12:12was jogging away the nastiest screech i've ever heard emanated from the tunnel it sounded barbaric
12:19definitely human but far from normal i don't plan on ever train hopping again
12:34the new york city subway system is a scary place i've been an mta worker for seven years and nothing
12:40really surprises me anymore when friends and family ask if i have any stories though there is one that
12:45stands out among the rest one that i can't explain this happened to me about two years into the job
12:51but i remember it like it was yesterday i was pretty acclimated to everything at that point and
12:56things had become routine i was stationed in brooklyn at the time and i was doing some routine
13:01maintenance in high street station there wasn't a soul on the platform it was actually kind of eerie
13:07you're used to these subway stations overflowing with people so seeing them empty and almost
13:12deserted looking was a strange adjustment to make i hadn't seen a person on the platform in hours
13:18and it was dead silent except for the buzz of the lights and the occasional passing train
13:22out of nowhere i heard a clang from somewhere down the track
13:27it startled me so badly that i dropped my mop in shock the sound wasn't something i was used to
13:32hearing the best way i could describe it to you is that sound that a rock would make if it had been
13:36dropped on a metal rail i stopped what i was doing and looked into the tunnel listening for other
13:41noises after a while i concluded that whatever i heard had either been caused by an animal or a
13:48falling piece of cement after all these stations were pretty old i went back to work not thinking
13:53too much about the sound about 10 minutes later the same sound shook me from my concentration only this
14:00time it was probably about twice as loud this time i actually became a little concerned dare i say scared
14:08was it really possible that two chunks of the ceiling had fallen in the span of 10 minutes
14:13i put down my supplies and walked over to the tunnel entrance trying to be quiet i peered into the
14:18darkness and couldn't really see anything i debated whether or not it was a good idea to call out into
14:23the tunnel and ultimately decided against it i still figured it was nothing but after the initial fear
14:29had worn off i was more confused than anything i kept trying to think of things that could make it sound
14:35like that not once but twice it was especially bizarre since the second sound was louder i tried to
14:41keep my mind off the sounds and went back to work finding a good rhythm again i was almost done with my
14:47work on this platform and was pleased that i'd get to leave this weird station soon as i was wrapping
14:52things up i heard something that gave me the chills a child's voice called out for help from inside the
14:58tunnel and he sounded like he was in distress i instantly stopped what i was doing and made my way over to the
15:04edge of the platform i hesitated for a few seconds before deciding that a child in anguish wasn't
15:10something my moral conscious would allow me to ignore i walked down the steps leading onto the
15:14tracks and waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness i shouted into the tunnel asking that kid
15:20if he was okay no response that's weird i thought starting to feel nervous about this encounter just then
15:28the kid's voice rang out again repeating his call for help i yelled back asking him if he could hear
15:34me he responded yes and i asked where specifically he was there was a brief moment of silence before he
15:41just said in front of you just keep walking i really didn't want to but couldn't just leave some
15:47helpless kid all alone on those tracks it was dangerous i began walking forward when something dawned on me
15:54i yelled into the darkness one more time this time asking the kid what was wrong an uncomfortable pause
16:01again before the kid responded just keep walking i didn't like that this whole thing was off my eyes
16:09finally adjusted to the darkness and i was able to slightly make out what was in front of me there
16:14actually was what looked like the shadow of a kid just up the tracks but there was something else that
16:19almost made me scream in fear another shadow this one much taller obviously an adult my blood ran cold
16:27and i stopped in place this wasn't happening to me as slowly as i could i turned around and made my
16:35way back to the platform luckily i wasn't chased on the way back the kid shouted wait where are you going
16:41once i reached the platform but i wasn't sticking around another second i made my way up the stairs and
16:47called the police as soon as i got cell service i told them everything and police were swarming the
16:53platform in a matter of minutes i waited to see what they turned up after about 20 minutes of searching
16:59they did find something chilling there was a single kid's shoe just lying in the tunnel which the
17:04police hypothesized could have signified a struggle after hours more of searching and scouring every
17:10available database for missing children we were told we'd receive a call if anything ever came up
17:16it was concluded that whoever had been down there though had hidden somewhere in the tunnels
17:20i have no idea what to think of this experience this is the best theory i can come up with some
17:26psycho kidnapped a child and forced him to yell for help in an attempt to lure some unsuspecting
17:30good samaritan into a trap or hell maybe it's their own kid who they're raising to also be a psycho
17:36i can't think of any other reasonable explanation besides this one but if i'm right i can only imagine
17:42what that kid must be going through
