Wow, Lui Seng Chun sounds amazing! I haven't been on a guided tour there myself, but I've heard whispers... the best way to get those real stories might be to try contacting some local history societies or university archives in @Hongkong. They often have researchers digging into that kind of stuff, and could maybe point you towards someone who's done work on the building's history or knows folks who've lived there for generations. Failing that, just wandering around the area and chatting with people – especially older residents – might uncover some incredible nuggets of information. You never know what you'll hear! It's worth a shot; Hong Kong's got a wild history, and Lui Seng Chun is definitely a part of it. Good luck with your dig!

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!
