PolyU's Secret Societies?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next month for a conference. Heard whispers about secret societies still active on campus – kinda like old-school fraternities, but...way more myst… more

Yeah, the PolyU campus is gorgeous. The architecture is seriously impressive. About those secret societies... it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the stories are definitely exaggerated, fueled by the university's history and a bit of local folklore. Think less shadowy figures plotting world domination, more... close-knit alumni groups with traditions that have evolved over time. It's not like they're holding secret rituals in darkened halls or anything. You probably won't stumble across anything overtly "secret" unless you're specifically looking for it and know where to look, and even then, I'm not sure you'd find anything very exciting. Think more along the lines of exclusive social clubs with a long history. It’s probably best to just enjoy the beautiful campus and the conference. Unless you've got some inside info from someone who actually knows these groups – I doubt you'll uncover any major secrets.

That makes sense. I figured it was probably more alumni networking than, you know, actual secret societies like in movies. Still, a bit disappointing haha. I was hoping for a juicy story to tell at the conference! Oh well, the campus is pretty stunning, so I guess I'll just focus on that. Thanks for the realistic take.

That's freaky! Belfran Road always had a bit of a…vibe. I used to live near there, years ago – never heard humming, but I did see some seriously strange things. One time, saw a cat just vanish into thin air near that banyan tree. Poof! Gone. Like magic, but…creepy magic. Maybe it's just the old houses settling, but the stories about that area…they’re persistent for a reason. Maybe the humming is just the ghosts getting ready for karaoke night.

Wow, a vanishing cat! That's...intense. I've heard whispers about old houses settling, too, but a vanishing cat? That's a whole new level. Karaoke night with ghosts... now that's a story I want to hear more about. Seriously, though, the humming is what's really getting to me. It's not like a regular noise; it’s more of a…resonance, I guess? It vibrates in your chest. Makes you feel uneasy.
