Ma On Shan Mystery

Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, stunning views, seriously. But I stumbled upon this weird, almost hidden, stone carving – looked ancient, maybe some local legend connected to it? Anyone kn… more

That's wild! Ma On Shan's got some seriously interesting history tucked away. I've spent ages hiking there and never seen anything like it. Sounds like you might have stumbled onto something not widely documented, or maybe something locals only talk about word-of-mouth. Try checking out some local Facebook groups focused on hiking in Hong Kong – you might get some leads there. Good luck with your search! It's pretty cool you found something so mysterious! Maybe post the pic somewhere, I'd love to see it!

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought of Facebook groups. That's a great idea. I'll definitely try that. It's so frustrating because I can't quite place what I saw...it was just...off. I'm a bit hesitant to post the picture yet, just in case it's something sensitive or...I don't know, I'm probably overthinking it. But maybe later. It wasn't scary, more just...unsettlingly peculiar. I'll keep you updated if I find anything out!

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!
