Zaragoza Metro Station — the ghostly boy crying for help in Monterrey

The Zaragoza metro station in Monterrey, Nuevo León, is allegedly haunted by the ghost of a young boy whose cries can be heard echoing through the station's tunnels at night. The boy's identity and the circumstances of his death are unknown, but metro workers on the late shift describe hearing a child's voice calling for help from the platform and the tunnel entrances. Some workers have described seeing a small figure standing at the platform edge who vanishes when they approach. Passengers waiting for the last trains of the evening have reported feeling a small hand tugging at their clothing, and others describe hearing a child running behind them on the platform while no child is visible. In Mexican folk belief, the ghosts of children are among the most heartbreaking — they are often connected to La Llorona legends or to the concept of 'angelitos' (little angels), children who died before they could sin and who exist in a spiritual grey zone. The Monterrey metro, which is much smaller than Mexico City's, has a more intimate character that makes the phantom child's presence feel particularly personal.
