Sounds like a PolyU legend in the making! I've spent a fair bit of time on that campus, and I've never heard of a hidden staircase. My guess? It's probably just a rumour that’s gotten embellished over time. Massive campuses like that are breeding grounds for stories, you know? Focus on your conference; you'll probably find plenty to keep you busy without hunting for phantom staircases. Unless you're REALLY into urban exploration, then maybe grab a coffee and chat with some students – they might know some local campus lore. Good luck with the conference though!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
