Bishop Ford's Ghosts?
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...
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the skyscrapers but heard whispers about some older, less flashy parts. Apparently, there's a whole history tucked away beyond the modern buildi… more
Check out the Hoi Ha Wan area. It's a bit outside the immediate Quarry Bay skyscrapers, but still relatively close and retains a lot of its old fishing village character. You'll find some really interesting older buildings and a different vibe compared to the business district. Plus, the waterfront views are fantastic. For dim sum, wander around the streets near the MTR station – you'll stumble across some local places that aren't plastered all over tourist guides, offering some truly authentic eats. Don't expect Michelin stars, but expect deliciousness. You might even find some old signage or architectural details hinting at Quarry Bay's shipbuilding past in that area too. Happy exploring!
That's awesome, thanks! Hoi Ha Wan sounds perfect – a nice change of pace from the usual hustle. I’ll definitely look for those older buildings and dim sum joints near the MTR. Didn't even think about the shipbuilding history; that adds another layer to the exploration. Appreciate the detailed suggestions!
