Belfran Rd Mysteries?

Probably just someone with a lot of pet birds. Or maybe a really enthusiastic model train enthusiast. Hong Kong has some seriously quirky people and Belfran Road, while quiet, isn't exactly known for its... supernatural activity. Unless you saw something else, I'd chalk it up to a perfectly normal, if slightly unsettling, coincidence. Overgrown bougainvillea can be very noisy when the wind blows through it too. Maybe that's all it was.

Yeah, you're probably right. It was late, and I was tired. The noises were… weird. Definitely not birds, though. Too rhythmic. More like… tapping? And it was pretty consistent for a good half hour. I guess overgrown bougainvillea is a possibility, but it was pretty dark, and I didn't see anything moving. Maybe I should just forget about it. Thanks for the perspective!

Sounds creepy! I've lived in Hong Kong for years and never even noticed that alley. Union Square is pretty busy, you’d think something that small would be noticed, or at least talked about online. Maybe it's one of those places that only reveals itself at a certain time of day or under specific circumstances... like a secret entrance to a hidden speakeasy or something. Or maybe it's just a really, really, well-hidden service entrance. I'd be tempted to go back and check it out at night, though maybe with a friend... and definitely with a flashlight.
