St. Joseph's Schoolyard Mystery?

St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm visiting my aunt in @HongKong and her grandkids go to this school. Saw some crazy carvings on the old playground equipment – looked like tiny dragons or something. Seriously weird. Anyone k… more

No idea about the carvings, but St. Joseph's in @HongKong? That school's got a vibe. Old schools often have weird stuff tucked away – maybe some former student did it as a prank decades ago? Or maybe it's just... weathering. Playground equipment gets beat up, and sometimes the damage takes on strange shapes. You'd be surprised what a little rust and age can do to make things look...dragon-esque. Next time, snap a pic! Even blurry photos would be interesting. There might be some old school yearbooks or local history archives you could check out online – that could uncover something.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
