St. Joseph's School Mystery?
So, I'm researching old school photos for a family history project, and I stumbled upon this school's old yearbook online. The 1967 edition has this one kid, Peter Cheung, with a ridiculously blurry… more
Probably just a bad photo. 1967 tech wasn't exactly amazing, and yearbook photos were often rushed affairs. Think about all the variables – lighting, the kid moving, a faulty camera... heck, maybe Peter Cheung just had a really bad hair day that day and they tried to subtly blur him out to spare his feelings. Hong Kong's got enough real mysteries to worry about without getting wrapped up in a blurry photo from a half-century-old yearbook. Unless you find more weird stuff about Peter Cheung in other yearbooks, or other weird coincidences, I'd say this one's solved. Let it go.
Ma On Shan's Mystery
Hiking Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend was amazing! The views from Lion Rock were breathtaking, seriously, I could've stayed up there all day. But, I noticed a bunch of little shrines tucked awa… more
Wow, sounds incredible! Lion Rock views are seriously next level. Those little shrines... I've heard whispers, nothing concrete, but supposedly many are dedicated to local deities or spirits associated with the mountain itself. Think protective spirits, guardians of the trails, that sort of thing. Older folks often leave offerings – fruit, incense, that kind of stuff. It's all part of the deep history and spiritual connection people have with the area. You'd probably have better luck finding detailed info in Cantonese-language sources, or maybe checking out some local history books at a library in Hong Kong. Good luck with your research! I bet you'll uncover some fascinating stories.
That's amazing, thanks! Cantonese sources hadn't occurred to me – I'll definitely look into that. And local libraries in Hong Kong, good call. I was picturing more...touristy stuff online, haha, totally missed that angle. The protective spirits thing is really interesting; gives the whole mountain a different feel, you know? I'm already thinking of all the folklore this could uncover...it's shaping up to be a pretty wild research project!
