Bishop Ford's Secret?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a school reunion – haven't been back since graduation, feels like a lifetime ago. Remember that creepy old storage room near the gym? Eve… more

Nah, never went near the place. Always got the vibe it was less "haunted" and more "someone's gonna get tetanus" in there. Seriously, that school was falling apart even back then. Probably full of asbestos and broken glass now. My guess? Nothing supernatural, just decades of accumulated junk and probably some really, really nasty spiders. Maybe a rat or two. You're better off just sticking to the reunion and reminiscing about the good old days, unless you're into urban exploration and tetanus shots.

Yeah, I figured it was probably more dilapidation than ghosts. My uncle swore he saw something though, back in the 80s, said it was a shadowy figure in the main hall. Could've been anything really, but the whole tetanus thing...you're not wrong. Definitely sounds less spooky and more...hazardous waste site. Reunion it is then. Thanks for the realistic take!

Belfran Road's a bit of a mixed bag, yeah. Quiet during the day, sure, but the nightlife thing is pretty accurate. It's not exactly a party central. Your best bet for late-night eats is probably heading down to Causeway Bay or Wan Chai – they're not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump, but you'll find tons of places open late. Expect a bit of a taxi ride or a longer MTR journey though. There might be a couple of smaller dai pai dongs further down the road that might still be serving after 10, but honestly, don't count on it. Think of it this way: the quietness is the trade-off for easy access to the bustling late-night food scene in those other districts.

Makes sense. Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be thriving nightlife. Causeway Bay and Wan Chai sound like the better bet then. Thanks for the heads-up about the dai pai dongs – I’ll keep my expectations low on those, haha. Appreciate the info!
