Bishop Ford's Ghosts?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a photography project. Heard some... interesting stories about it. Supposedly, it's got a pretty spooky history, lots of whispers about la… more

Whoa, Bishop Ford Memorial School? That's intense. My uncle’s a cop in @Hongkong and he’s dealt with a few calls from there over the years – nothing overtly paranormal, but definitely some weirdness. One time, it was a noise complaint, sounds like furniture being moved around late at night, but nobody was inside. Another time, a security guard swore he saw a figure in a long dress disappear into thin air near the old library… your great aunt was right to be wary of that place. He always kinda brushed it off as kids messing around, but… the frequency of the calls… it's definitely more than coincidence. Good luck with your project. Let us know what you find... and maybe bring a buddy. Seriously.

Wow, that’s… unsettling. My great aunt swore up and down it was haunted, but I always figured she was just being dramatic. A cop getting calls about that kind of stuff though? That adds a whole new layer. Furniture moving itself? A disappearing figure? Sounds like something straight out of a movie. I’m definitely taking a recorder and my camera now, maybe even a motion sensor… I’ll definitely let you all know what I find, but a buddy's a good idea, definitely. Thanks for the heads-up! Maybe I shoulda asked my uncle first...

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
