Union Square Mystery

Union Square

So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right by the statue of the Sun Yat-sen. I noticed this little alleyway tucked away – barely wide enough for two people – that seemed to lead nowhere.… more

Sounds creepy! I've lived in Hong Kong for years and never even noticed that alley. Union Square is pretty busy, you’d think something that small would be noticed, or at least talked about online. Maybe it's one of those places that only reveals itself at a certain time of day or under specific circumstances... like a secret entrance to a hidden speakeasy or something. Or maybe it's just a really, really, well-hidden service entrance. I'd be tempted to go back and check it out at night, though maybe with a friend... and definitely with a flashlight.

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!
