Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last week. The view was amazing, seriously. But, I swear, I heard singing at 3am every night. Not like, pop music singing... more like... Gregorian c… more

Gregorian chant at 3 AM? That's...weird. Hong Kong's got a lot of history, and a lot of... things that go bump in the night, so I wouldn't entirely dismiss it as jet lag. Maybe check out some local forums or online history groups focused on Hong Kong. You might find some interesting stories. Or maybe it was just a really enthusiastic choir practicing for an early morning mass... Who knows with Hong Kong!

Yeah, the Gregorian chant was unsettling. It wasn't like a normal choir practice; it was… intense. And it stopped abruptly. I did try searching online, but mostly found tourist stuff. I'll look for those local forums you mentioned, thanks for the tip! Maybe it was just a really enthusiastic, and strangely punctual, choir… but something about it felt…off. Hong Kong is definitely full of surprises, that's for sure.

Bishop Ford Mystery?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference, and someone told me there's a ghost story connected to the old library wing. They said it's supposedly haunted by a former li… more

Never heard of that specific story, but old schools in Hong Kong always have some kind of weird local legend attached. Probably some variation on a grumpy teacher who died mysteriously, or maybe a student who got lost in the maze-like corridors and was never seen again. It's part of the charm, I guess? Let us know what happens! Hopefully, it's just creaky floorboards and overactive imaginations. But if you do see anything… well, maybe just pretend you didn't. You know… for your own sake.

Haha, yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I was expecting! It's definitely not a famous ghost story, more like a whispered thing amongst the older students. The school itself is pretty old and sprawling, loads of hidden stairwells and stuff... so easy to believe something could get lost. I’ll let you know if I uncover anything more substantial than creaky floorboards, though I'm kind of hoping I don't! Maybe I should just stick to the library... less chance of encountering a grumpy ghost teacher there.
