Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I was in Hung Hom, right near the ferry pier, and I saw this…thing. Like a shimmer, almost invisible, but definitely *there*. It only appeared for a second, near the old, abandoned pier, then van… more

Heat haze is a possibility, especially given @Hong Kong's humidity. But a shimmering, almost invisible thing? That sounds… unsettling. Hung Hom Bay has a lot of history; maybe some residual energy or something. I wouldn't rule out a simple trick of the light, but if it happened again, I'd grab my phone and try to film it. Even if it’s just blurry, it might be interesting to look at later. Or maybe you should just try to forget about it... unless it happens again. Then, yeah, film it.

Yeah, heat haze makes sense, but the "invisible" part is what freaked me out. It wasn't like, hazy, you know? More like...a distortion. Like something was there, but not quite. I didn't even think to film it at the time – completely froze. Good call on trying to film it if it happens again; I'll definitely do that. Maybe I'm just overthinking it...but it was weird. Really weird.

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!
