If you like the feeling you are not afraid - we offer to learn about the truly terrible legends associated with the underground.
10. Mysterious DNA of the New York subway
Many belong to the unknown science of DNA organisms
In 2014, a team of scientists under the leadership of Weill Cornell studied samples of genetic material found on the turnstiles, seats and ticket offices in all 468 stations of the New York subway. They found bacteria living on the skin of the person in the digestive tract or even in human feces. And on one of the stations, flooded during Hurricane Sandy, you can still identify the DNA of marine life. Scientists have also found traces of pathogens such dangerous diseases as anthrax and bubonic plague, but judging by their assurances, danger to people they do not carry. A total of 15152 were found DNA of different organisms.
This is interesting: The most surprising is that over half of the samples of the genetic code did not meet some of Known Organisms. This can be explained by the fact that live in underground unknown microorganisms whose DNA, scientists could not receive and investigate earlier.
9. Secret underground network Tokyo
Under Tokyo there are secret tunnels?
In 2002, Shun Akiba Japanese journalist published an article, which made a loud statement. Akiba argued that when comparing historical maps with modern subway he had found strong evidence of a secret network of tunnels beneath Tokyo.

Assuming that no adjustment was not made, the journalist began to investigate in detail the construction reports.
It turned out that the mystery was only the first of the seven, all of them are incompatible with the official documentation. On old maps Shun Akiba found a secret underground complex, located between the station Kokkay-Gidzidomae and the home of the Prime Minister, incomprehensible places around postwar Staff Chief of the Japanese army, and so on. D. Also, Shun found that, most likely, the "new" line subway Oedo already existed. Then it turns out that the money allocated from the budget for the construction of a network of tunnels, literally evaporated.
Akiba said that a secret underground network was built before World War II, but it is unclear why it remains a mystery even today. According to him, it can be part of the government communications, intended to protect against a potential nuclear attack. Some experts also believe that state officials have access to the secret underground complex and trains, located under the buildings of government appointments.

Mysterious dungeons inhabitants - Fact or Fiction?
People decades retell each other stories about the homeless, leaving in the subway tunnels of New York and never after that did not appear.

When the well-known journalist Jennifer He visited the subway tunnels of New York in 1993, she did not see there is no trace of mutants. But she found a community of thousands of outcasts, hermits, drug addicts and mentally ill people living in terrible conditions. As a result, the city authorities had to pay attention to the long ignored the problem and try to get all these people out of underground tunnels. An attempt has been partially successful. But in 2010, removed the video you can see that the homeless are still living in the tunnels of New York.
Rumors of these people for a long time and went to London. There they were called troglodytes.

6. "Underground 2" in Moscow
Alleged scheme of line
Under Moscow's hidden a lot of valuable things: Byzantine Library, secret cellars to torture the times of Ivan the Terrible, a system of underground canals of Catherine the Great. It is not surprising that Joseph Stalin also decided to "go deep" in the Moscow land. "Metro 2" - so called secret underground railway network, they built in the thirties. She had to let the Soviet secret police in Moscow to move, go unnoticed.
Initially the network connects Stalin's dacha, the Ministry of Defense, command bunkers and other military installations. Of course, no evidence supporting this assumption is not. But this does not prevent the legend alive and remain to this day.
In theory, the system of "Metro 2" was supposed to protect people from a possible nuclear strike. A huge bunker, presumably located at Ramenka. In it could accommodate 300 thousand people and the Soviet High Command. Rumor has it that "Metro 2" extends far beyond the present-day Moscow. That is, the country's leaders could quietly leave the capital if it has been caused by a nuclear strike. Some researchers suggest that the tunnels used by the army to transport weapons and classified material between the bunkers.

It is no secret that the Mosaic Hall of the Reich Chancellery, and many rooms were built of red marble.
This is interesting: It was in this building, Hitler made the decision to go to war. And under the Office of the bunker was located, where the leader of the Nazis in 1945, committed suicide.
During the war, the building was destroyed by Soviet soldiers. It is said that when in 1950 the East Germans were engaged in restoration of the metro station Mohrenstrasse, they simply used the material left by the Nazi palace.

There were witnesses confirmed the story. When the conductor opened the door, they allegedly saw the darkened platform. A man considered even a large room with frosted windows.
Many people are interested in this story and tried to get to the bottom. Joe Ruskin, subways researcher, said that he knew about the tunnels, which are to the east of the station Bedford-Nostrand. However, he has not heard of the premises, which would correspond to those described by eyewitnesses.
A little later, another man said he saw a man, dressed in a tweed suit, entered the train, unlocked the door on the opposite side and went to the unused portion of the platform. He caught sight of the abyss before the train pulled away from the station.
Perhaps a strange room - a common signal box from which experts control the movement of trains, more often - unmanned. Then two women who were probably employees of underground, have decided to ride in the car rather than walk on the dark tracks and climb the creaky stairs. If things so things really - nothing wrong with the above-described events there. But agree that any normal passenger would be excited, seeing how someone comes out of the train between the stations and disappears into the darkness.
3. Skull Aztecs in Mexico City subway
Where did the Aztec skull to a depth of tens of meters?
Between 2008 and 2012 workers, to expand one of the branches of the subway in Mexico City, found several human skulls. Analysis has shown that they date back to the period of the Aztec Empire.

They looked strange, so the student was trying to avoid eye contact with strangers. A minute later, a man sat down next to her and whispered that she went with him to the next station. She did so, apparently fearing a strange trio. After the train pulled away from the station, the man explained his behavior. He allegedly saw a woman that guys dragged the train sticking out the top of scissors.
Other members of Sydney spoke about a similar story occurred in his city. Recall that about 10 years ago appeared on the Internet screenshot of the e-mail, which tells the story of the doctor, which is indirect evidence realized that right in front of him in the car sat a dead woman (sandwiched between the two men).
A similar legend goes, and in New York. One night in the car, which drove the couple, the bully went 3. A few stations one of them came with the words "Good night, Dick."

Should I believe the above-stated legend - it's up to you. Some of them seem very realistic, others are likely to have been born in the turbulent imagination particularly susceptible individuals. But, it would be very interesting to wander, such as the Moscow underground bunker. What do you think - is there a system of "Metro 2" really?
