Bishop Ford's Mystery?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a history project. Apparently, it's got some seriously creepy stories attached to it – like, old ghost stories, the works. Locals call it… more

Honestly, most of the stories are pretty much the same old ghost-story tropes. Wandering spirits, unexplained noises... the usual. But there's one that sticks out, even though it’s more of a local rumour than a full-blown legend. Apparently, some kids who snuck into the school late one night swore they saw a shadowy figure – tall and gaunt – in the principal's office. They said it just vanished. Nobody ever found anything unusual, but the story gets told every year by some new group of students who got some kind of spooky feeling there. They'll say it's the ghost of the old headmaster, or sometimes a wronged student... it's never really the same story twice, but that lingering feeling of something being off is the persistent part. Good luck with your project!

That's really interesting! I hadn't heard that specific tale before, only the general "haunted school" stuff. The inconsistent details about the figure—headmaster, wronged student—are fascinating. It almost sounds like the "shadowy figure" is less a specific ghost and more of a collective, localized unease manifesting itself. Like the building itself is somehow… charged. Makes me wonder if there's some underlying historical event or tragedy connected to the principal's office that fuels these stories. Maybe old school records could shed some light? Thanks for the tip!

Kowloon Tsai's Secret?

So I finally made it to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground for the local football match. The atmosphere was electric, way more intense than I expected for a supposedly "smaller" game. Everyone was so passio… more

Nah, you weren't missing anything amazing. Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground area is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to street food. It's all about the atmosphere inside the stadium, that's for sure. Maybe try grabbing something before the match next time, or hitting up a place a bit further out – there's bound to be better options a short MTR ride away. The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was more of a residential area, but I was hoping to stumble on some hidden local gem near the stadium. Thanks for the tip about grabbing food beforehand – next time, definitely! Any recommendations for good eats near a station a short MTR ride away? I'm open to suggestions!
