The following is an urban legend commonly told in Brooklyn, New York.

There are people who say that if you go to the above ground section 4th Avenue-9th Street subway station late at night, a man will appear at approximatley 11:34 PM. Attempting to leave the station at this point will result in your death. After 10 minutes pass, he will Walk over to you.

Once he does this, he will ask 'Have you been here before?' If you answer 'No' he will nod his head, and walk away. If you answer 'Yes' then two swords will appear: One at your feet, and one in his hand. He will then ask 'Do you wish to fight me?' If you say 'No' he will break your leg. However, if you say 'Yes' then you must fight him to the death.

If you win, then he will evaporate into black mist. A piece of paper, a pencil, and a lighter will appear where he stood. The paper will say 'Congratulations on defeating me. On here, you must write any wish you can think of. Once you are done, you must burn this.' After doing this, you are allowed to leave the station. You will soon find that your wish you wrote on the papaer has been granted.

If you lose however, then your soul will be cursed to walk the platforms at night. Only when you finally defeat someone, will you be able to move on to the afterlife.

I have never tried this myself, but I know many people who have tried this. One thing worth mentioning, is that my brother tried this one time. We never saw him again.
