Most Moscow residents go down to the subway every day. The metro has long been a common means of moving around the city.
The Moscow subway has hundreds of stations and countless kilometers of routes. It is a complex, complex system, and, as in any similar system, much in it is lost over time, changes without a person's will, and begins to practically live its own life.
Underground, in eternal darkness, accelerated only by electric light, the metro has become the source of many legends, stories about strange events and incidents.
The researchers of the Moscow subway are sure that much in it is hidden from the eyes of passengers and even employees, and that it exists according to its own rules, far from the train schedule.
Stations on churchyards
It is believed that some stations of the Moscow subway were built where people were once buried, in churchyards and ancient cemeteries.
Some researchers claim that such a legacy may not be the best way to influence people descending underground.

One of these stations is Sokol, where the graves of those who fought on the fields of the First World War were once located, and later there was the place of execution of those sentenced to the highest measure.
Workers at this station say they sometimes feel as if someone is looking at them, they see ghosts in the form of naked, wounded people roaming the platform. The old cemetery is located near the Vladykino station, and the station staff often hear a plaintive howl at night.
Lineman
One of the most famous legends of the Moscow metro is the Lineman. It is said to be the ghost of a man who worked as a lineman for forty years. He died at the age of 82, but continues to come to work looking around the paths. His ghost has been seen many times in the tunnels.
Black machinist
Once in the Moscow metro, the train went off the rails, and the first car was on fire. The driver was able to bring the train to the station, but after a few days he died of burns.
It was stated that the driver himself was to blame for the incident, despite the fact that the train was in a deplorable state. The driver's relatives did not receive any payments. Soon, the ghost of the driver began to be seen in the metro, who appeared in the form of a burned man.
Bunker Teens
Other ghosts on the Moscow metro were teenagers building a Stalin-era bunker, allegedly located near Chistye Prudy station. According to rumors, the builders - homeless children and orphans - were no more than sixteen years old.
Nobody saw them again. This could have been a good way to hide both the location of the bunker and its features and interior layout. The ghosts of those children still haunt the subway tunnels.
