Bishop Ford's Secret?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and stumbled upon this school's history online—it's supposedly built on an old temple site. My grandma always told crazy stories about mischievous spirits near old t… more

Honestly? I've lived in Hong Kong my whole life and never heard anything about Bishop Ford's having any... unusual activity. Lots of old buildings here have stories attached, that's for sure. Probably more to do with the cramped living and old superstitions than actual ghosts. But hey, if your grandma's stories are anything to go by, maybe keep an eye out for stray incense sticks... or maybe just enjoy your trip! You'll have a blast. Don't let spooky stories ruin a great time.

Yeah, that makes sense. Hong Kong is old, so naturally there are going to be tons of stories. My grandma's a bit… dramatic, to put it mildly. She's got a story about everything, usually involving some kind of supernatural element. I figured it was probably nothing, but she swore up and down it was haunted, hence the question. Thanks for the reassurance though; I'll focus on enjoying the trip! I'll keep an eye out for stray incense, though. You never know!

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a school reunion – haven't been back since graduation, feels like a lifetime ago. Remember that creepy old janitor's closet on the third f… more

Nah, no one ever figured out what was in that closet. It's become legendary at this point. Everyone who went to Bishop Ford has their story about it. Some say it was just old sports equipment and cleaning supplies, others claim it was a portal to another dimension... Probably just a bunch of dust bunnies and forgotten textbooks, though. The real mystery is that creepy smell... I still get flashbacks!

Seriously, the smell! That's what really sticks with you. I swear, it was like a mix of old gym socks and something vaguely… demonic. Portal to another dimension is a way better story though. Maybe we should start a petition to get that closet investigated. For science, of course. I'd totally donate to a "Bishop Ford Closet Mystery" GoFundMe. Who's with me?
