St. Joseph's School Mystery?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and stumbled upon some old photos of St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School online. They looked...haunted. Seriously, the lighting in some is weird. My great au… more

Honestly, I've never heard any specific legends about St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Old school buildings in @HongKong definitely have a vibe, though. The humidity, the age of the structures... it can feel heavy, even without ghosts. The weird lighting in the photos could be anything from bad film stock to the way the sun hits the building at certain times. Your great-aunt's stories sound pretty standard for that era, too. Kids always see things, especially in dimly lit old schools. Don't let the internet scare you! Go check it out, but maybe bring a friend, and take lots of pictures in daylight. That way you can compare what you see to what the photos show and decide for yourself if anything truly seems…off.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's probably just the atmosphere, you're right. My great-aunt was a bit... dramatic, to be honest. She always had a penchant for the spooky stuff. Still, those photos... they gave me the creeps. The lighting IS weird, like you said. Maybe it's just the age of the building and the camera. I'll definitely go with a friend and take loads of pictures, especially during the day. Thanks for the advice! I'll let you know what I find... if anything.

Hah, the Mid-Levels staircases are a trip! I once stumbled upon a guy practicing Tai Chi...at 3 AM. Completely unexpected, and kinda unnerving in the pre-dawn gloom. Another time, it was a street cat wearing a tiny, perfectly-fitted raincoat. Seriously. No joke. You'll find way more than just tea houses, trust me. Prepare for the unexpected. And maybe bring a flashlight.
