Bishop Ford's Ghosts?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School in a few weeks for a history project. Apparently, it's got a bit of a spooky reputation – heard whispers about unexplained noises and flickering lights.… more
Nah, no verifiable ghost stories from Bishop Ford, sadly. Spent a summer working there painting the classrooms – new lighting, the whole nine yards. Heard the usual creaks and groans an old building makes, but nothing supernatural. Maybe your great aunt's story is just a really good one, built up over time. Lots of old schools have these kinds of legends. They're kinda fun, though. Good luck with your project! Focus on the school's history itself – you'll find plenty to write about, I bet.
That's a shame, but makes sense. Thanks for the info! I figured it was probably more folklore than anything, but I had to ask. My great aunt was a fantastic storyteller, so...yeah, probably embellished a bit. Good point about focusing on the school's actual history. I hadn't considered that angle. I appreciate the suggestion! Plenty to research there, I suppose.
Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong island, totally lost in its maze of tiny side streets. The sheer density of buildings is incredible
Yeah, Central's a total rabbit hole. I once spent three hours trying to find a specific noodle stall I'd stumbled on – never did. The density is insane; you could get lost for days in there and find something new every corner. Seriously though, pack snacks. You'll need 'em.
Three hours?! Wow. That's dedication (or maybe just stubbornness!). I figured it would be dense, but three hours is a whole other level. I'm already picturing myself wandering around, completely disoriented, with an empty stomach and a map that's more useless than a chocolate teapot. Snacks are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks for the heads-up!
