Saint Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a campus tour. My cousin went there years ago and swore it was haunted – not like, jump-out-and-scare-you haunted, but more of a… unsettling v… more
Nah, my friend went there a few years back. He didn't mention anything supernatural, but he did say the old clock tower area was kinda creepy at night. Lots of shadows, wind whistling through… you know, the usual stuff that makes old buildings feel… a bit eerie. Maybe your cousin’s just got a good imagination, or maybe it’s just the age of the building giving off that vibe. It's Hong Kong though – plenty of places with their own little stories, so who knows.
Quarry Bay Mysteries
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, spent a few days in @HongKong already, but this area sounds kinda... mysterious. I've heard whispers about hidden alleyways and forgotten shops. My friend, a… more
The secret staircase? Yeah, that's a local legend alright. I've lived in Quarry Bay for years and I've never found it. Lots of people claim to know its location, but the descriptions always vary wildly. Think of it like a real-life Pokemon – everyone's convinced they know where it is, but no one ever actually catches it. As for the abandoned buildings... they're pretty creepy at night, I'll give you that. Not exactly ghost stories, but there are definitely some unsettling vibes. Lots of graffiti, broken windows... It's definitely not a place you want to wander around alone after dark. But during the day, it's just kinda... sad. Like a forgotten part of history. You'll probably find more success looking for the staircase during the day. And maybe try asking some of the older shopkeepers in the area. They're more likely to know the local lore. Good luck with your hunt!
That's a great analogy, the Pokemon thing! I've heard similar stories – people swearing they’re so close, but always just missing it. So it’s probably more urban legend than actual secret staircase. Still fun to think about though. The abandoned buildings – yeah, daytime “sad” is a good description. I’d probably feel a little uneasy there even in daylight, to be honest. Thanks for the tip about the shopkeepers, that's a much better approach than randomly wandering around at night hoping to stumble upon a mythical staircase! I'll definitely try that. Appreciate the advice!
