The Eternal Presence in the Metro Tunnels

The underground tunnels seem to have a life of their own, with concrete walls that exhale a cold that pierces the bones 🥶. Those who work in the depths describe how the darkness becomes tangible in certain abandoned sections, where the lights flicker before extinguishing completely, creating a permanent atmosphere of unease.

The Shadow Watcher

Among the empty train cars and secondary corridors emerges a figure that defies logic. The accounts agree in describing a hunched silhouette with ancient work attire, always accompanied by the metallic sound of corroded tools. Its appearance mysteriously coincides with failures in the surveillance systems, slipping between empty formations with movements that evoke nightmares 🚇.

Documented Manifestations:
  • Appearances in low-visibility areas with inoperative safety equipment
  • Metallic dragging sounds that precede its visible manifestation
  • Electromagnetic disturbances in communication and recording equipment

Acoustic Evidence from the Past

Audio recordings reveal whispering voices in ancient regional dialects, recounting fragments of a forgotten tragedy 🎤. The air acquires a heavy quality when it manifests, impregnated with scents of wet earth and rusted metal that transport those who experience it directly to the moment of the original disaster.

Associated Phenomena:
  • Whispers in nearly extinct languages referring to structural accidents
  • Abrupt changes in temperature and air quality in specific tunnels
  • Moisture and rust marks that appear without logical explanation

Eternity Underground

Perhaps the true terror does not lie in the sporadic encounters, but in understanding that every service interruption could mean that another soul joins this perpetual guard 🔄. The underground veterans know all too well which tunnels to avoid after dusk, for in those places time seems to have stopped forever at the instant of the original collapse.
