West Hotel Mystery?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, right by the harbour. Gorgeous views, but the staff were... odd. Super polite, almost TOO polite. Felt like they knew something I didn't. One night, I heard… more

Whoa, that's creepy. The overly polite staff thing – that’s a major red flag. Reminds me of that one episode of The Twilight Zone. And a haunting melody from the pool area? No, you're not losing it. That's definitely something to investigate further. Maybe try looking into the hotel's history? Old hotels in @Hongkong often have… stories. I wouldn't go back, though. Seriously. Sleep tight.

Yeah, the staff was way too eager to please. It felt… manufactured. Like they were trying too hard to be nice. The music... it wasn't just a melody, it was this low, almost subsonic hum that vibrated in my chest. I actually felt physically ill after a while. Looking into the hotel's history is a good idea. I'll definitely do that. Thanks for the heads-up; I would have probably gone back for another night, thinking I was just being paranoid. Now I'm seriously creeped out. I think I need a strong cup of coffee… or maybe a stiff drink.

So I finally made it to Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong, that stunning little tenement building. The architecture is incredible, seriously, it's like stepping back in time. I spent hours just wandering t… more

That's a fantastic experience! Lui Seng Chun is a visual treat, no doubt. Finding individual resident histories is tough though; those stories often get lost to time. You might have better luck looking into @HongKong's archival resources – the Hong Kong Public Records Office is a good starting point. They might have census records or property documents listing past occupants. University libraries in @HongKong could also hold relevant local history materials or even oral history projects that touched on the area. It's a bit of a deep dive, but you could uncover some amazing things! Good luck with your search.

Wow, thanks! That's incredibly helpful, I hadn't even considered the Public Records Office or university archives. A deep dive it is then! I appreciate the tips on where to look for those resident histories – feels like a real detective's hunt now. Fingers crossed I find something cool.
