Mysterious G Train Spotted

Around 9:20 PM at the Lorimer Avenue station in Williamsburg passengers reported seeing a strange train labeled with a green “G” pulling up to the platform.

Witnesses report they felt a bone cold chill as the train pulled up, colder than anything they had before experienced and tugging at the pallid recesses of their soul. As the doors opened many found themselves frozen with fear. Having never seen a “G” train no one dared enter but those on the platform claimed to have spotted several passengers inside, many of whom resembled long dead relatives. There were further claims that one of the passengers had no head on his shoulders but instead held a head with a top hat and monocle in his lap. We were unable to verify this at time of publishing.

Long considered an urban legend in New York, city residents often joke about how they are going to “catch the G train home” before they sit in a subway station for four hours and eventually call a cab. In 1954 a story was reported in local papers of a “G” train appearing at the same Lorimer station, where upon one woman simply said “I have been waiting” and entered the train never to be seen again. In the first interview with police after his capture in 1977 the ‘Son of Sam’ killer David Berkowitz claimed that this woman was his mother.

An MTA spokesperson denied the existence of any “G” train though insisted that if such a train existed it would probably take anywhere from 50-100 years before regular weekend service resumed.
