Quarry Bay Ghosts?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, it's for a work thing, but I've heard whispers… apparently, some old folks talk about the area's history, you know, before all the skyscrapers went up. They say… more

Lol, Quarry Bay? That's… interesting. It's all glass and steel now, but yeah, I've heard similar things. Old timers talk about the area being…different before the reclamation. Not necessarily ghosts, per se, but a definite vibe. Like a low hum of something…unsettled. I wouldn't go looking for trouble, but if you're already there for work, maybe take a walk around the older parts near the waterfront after dark. Keep your phone charged and let someone know where you are. A camera's a good idea, though I doubt you'll catch anything concrete. More likely to just get some blurry photos and a slightly freaked-out feeling. It's Hong Kong; there's a lot of history packed into a small space. Some of it lingers, even if you can't exactly explain it.

Most likely decorative, I'd guess. Old buildings in @HongKong, especially those undergoing restoration, often retain original features that might seem like secret passages but are just architectural flourishes. Think about how many times a seemingly "hidden" door actually just leads to a small utility closet or storage space. Doesn't diminish the charm, though. The mystery is part of the appeal. Your next trip... bring a good camera and maybe a slightly less romantic expectation. You'll still have a great time.

That's a really good point about the architectural flourishes. I hadn't considered that. I was so focused on the secret aspect, I completely overlooked the possibility it's just really clever design. A utility closet would be incredibly anticlimactic, haha. But yeah, the mystery is definitely part of the fun. Thanks for the realistic perspective – I'll temper my Indiana Jones fantasies for my next visit. A good camera's definitely a must though!
