Can you share more details about scary NYC subway stories?

There have been cases of pickpockets operating in the NYC subways. One person told me how they felt a hand in their pocket and when they turned around, they saw a group of shady - looking individuals. They managed to scare them off, but it was a very frightening experience. It makes people always on edge when they're on the subway, having to constantly watch out for their belongings.

One scary story is about a strange figure that would lurk in the shadows of a particular subway station at night. People reported seeing a tall, dark shape that seemed to move very quickly and silently. It was so terrifying that many commuters started to avoid that station after sunset.

Sure. I saw a woman knitting a huge scarf on the subway. But she got so into it that she accidentally knitted her bag to the scarf. When she tried to get off at her stop, she couldn't separate them easily and had to tug at it while everyone watched and some even chuckled.

Sure. There's the story of the "Track 6 Ghost." A maintenance worker once reported seeing a shadowy figure on Track 6 late at night. He thought it was another worker at first, but as he got closer, the figure just disappeared. He later found out that a man had died on that track many years ago in a freak accident. Since then, other workers have also claimed to have had strange encounters in the same area.

Sure. There's a story where a girl was having a Zoom call with her friends. Mid - call, her friend's camera seemed to be taken over by some unknown force. Instead of her friend's face, a really old and wrinkled face with sunken eyes stared back at them. It was so unexpected and scary that they all screamed. Her friend then said she had no control over her camera at that moment.

Sure. There's a story of a catfish in a lake that seemed to be able to predict bad events. Whenever there was going to be a storm or some misfortune in the nearby village, the catfish would swim in circles near the shore. People started to fear it as they thought it had some sort of supernatural power.

The scariest aspect in many of these stories is the feeling of being trapped. In a subway car or on a platform, there's often no easy escape. For example, if there's a dangerous person or situation, you can't just run away freely like you can on the street. Another aspect is the anonymity. People can do bad things and disappear into the crowd easily.

Sure. One subway scary story could be about a figure that always appears at the same time every night on a particular subway platform. Passengers have reported seeing a shadowy form that seems to be watching them intently as the train approaches. It gives off an eerie feeling, and some say that when they look directly at it, it vanishes.

Sure. In one story, an underwater welder was working near an old shipwreck. As he was welding, some debris from the wreck got dislodged and started floating around him. One large piece almost hit his oxygen tank. If it had, it could have caused a major disaster. He had to be very careful to avoid any more potential hazards.
