Any decent metro must have its own riddles and secrets, from which the blood runs cold. For example, eyewitnesses often talk about ghost trains scurrying through the subways. There is a legend about the Moscow metro.
It is said that this ghostly train moves counterclockwise of the Ring Line, appears only once a month exactly after midnight, stops at every station. However, doors do not always open.
There is a version that this is the same train that in 1962 disappeared on the stretch between stations. The ghost train is different from modern trains, and the driver and passengers are allegedly dressed in clothes typical of the 60s of the last century.
You can't get into it - everyone who dared to do it never appeared anywhere else. Although, to be precise, it is rumored that some people managed to return, or at least they simply claim to have traveled on this ghost train.
For example, a certain lady told that she was waiting for the train at one of the ring stations. None of the passengers standing on the platform noticed this train - only she went through the open doors.
The train started, but did not open the door at the next or at other stations. Violetta began to panic. For a second, the light in the carriage blinked, and then all the other passengers suddenly turned into skeletons. The woman screamed in horror, and the ghosts began to point at her with shouts of “Alive! Alive! Alive!"
Fortunately, at the next station, the doors swung open. She instantly ran away. According to the woman, her family had already considered the woman missing, since she had been absent for more than a week. At the same time, according to Violetta herself, no more than two hours passed.
As diggers exploring the undergrounds of the Moscow Metro explain, the ghost train is the embodiment of the Circle Line, which over and over again relives its past. The living, who got there, supposedly become part of it.

Meanwhile, there is no official data confirming the existence of a ghost train. The metro workers themselves explain the legends about it by the presence of so-called transit trains from other lines, which are ferried for maintenance. They do come in much older designs and rarely open their doors on platforms. At the same time, the workers do not deny that after midnight on the lines, automatic devices work, indicating the presence of a train on the tracks, although it is not there and cannot be.
