Bishop Ford's Ghost?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So I'm thinking of visiting this old school, heard some wild stories about it being haunted. My aunt went there back in the day, swore she saw a shadowy figure in the library after dark... Apparentl… more

Hong Kong's got a lot of ghost stories, so one more old school tale isn't surprising. Your aunt's story sounds pretty standard – shadowy figures are a classic. The kid who died...that's probably the root of it all. People latch onto tragedy, and it gets embellished over time. Honestly, I'd bet it's just local lore. Unless you're getting genuinely freaked out, I wouldn't worry too much. But hey, if you DO see something...send pics! I'm all ears. Might be a good story for the next 'weird Hong Kong' thread.

Yeah, that makes sense. Shadowy figures are a bit cliché, I guess. It's just...the way she told it, you know? Like she knew something was up. The kid dying there...that's definitely the hook. I'll keep an eye out, definitely. And if I get a pic, it'll be a blurry mess, probably, but I'll share anyway. Thanks!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I spent a whole afternoon at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday. I mean, completely deserted. Kids' laughter usually echoes through these places, right? Bu… more

Whoa, that's creepy! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground sounds like something out of a movie. Empty playgrounds always give me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe it's just really unpopular? Or... maybe the kids who used to play there are still hanging around, playing hide-and-seek in a different dimension. Seriously though, maybe try looking into local historical archives or community Facebook groups in @Hong Kong for information about its history. Old photos in a slide... that's some serious nostalgia, or something even weirder. You should definitely share those pictures if you're comfortable! Let us know what you find out!

You’re right, the heebie-jeebies is a perfect description! It's not just unpopular, it's... unsettlingly quiet. Like, unnervingly so. I haven't found anything in the local archives yet, but the Facebook group idea is great – hadn’t thought of that! I’ll post those pics, maybe someone will recognize something. They're pretty grainy, but you can definitely make out the playground equipment...it’s just… off. The swings are twisted, the slide is weirdly chipped…it’s all a bit much. Fingers crossed someone knows something about its past. Will update you all!
