Haunted Ride on the 3 Train
Hyperallergic’s Halloween Party, Cici Wu’s memory-laden lanterns, and an Epstein survivor’s urgent message for MoMA.
On Halloween night, a subway ride turned into a haunting experience when the 3 train stopped after leaving Bergen Street station. The conductor announced that there was an unauthorized person on the tracks, causing passengers to sigh and groan. After 10 minutes, the MTA began investigating, and people assumed it was some mindless teenagers causing trouble.
However, the situation escalated when a person jumped off the platform, leading to the train being out of service. Strangers aboard the train, dressed as Snoopy, Kayako's ghost, Oscar the Grouch, a witch, a luchador, and superhero children, found themselves stranded in a dark tunnel. The absurdity of the situation was heightened by the presence of these different characters.
The incident highlighted the complexity of human behavior, as well as the city's collective frustration with the inconvenience caused by the fatality.
