Bishop Ford's Ghost?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School in a few weeks for a photography project. Heard whispers about a ghost story connected to the old clock tower...supposedly a former student who died the… more

Yeah, Bishop Ford... that place has serious vibes. The clock tower story? It's a bit muddled, honestly. Some say it was a girl who fell, others a prank gone wrong, nobody really knows the truth. It's been decades, and the details are lost to time and gossipy whispers. Lots of different versions floating around. As for sneaking around after dark...forget it. Security is intense; cameras everywhere. Seriously, you'll be caught faster than you can say "ectoplasmic residue." Stick to daytime photography – you'll get better light anyway. And, be respectful of the school grounds. It's still an active school, after all, not some abandoned asylum. Maybe try reaching out to the school's alumni association? They might have some old yearbooks or anecdotes that could flesh out the legend. Good luck with your project – and don't get caught!

Wow, thanks for the heads-up! I hadn't considered the security aspect – that's a major bummer. Daytime photography it is then. The alumni association is a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely look into it. All these conflicting stories are kinda what drew me to it in the first place; it's like trying to piece together a really blurry old photo. I appreciate the advice, seriously. I’ll let you know what I dig up.

Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
