In this mind-bending mini-episode, Brain Bamboozle dives into the eerie true story of an Australian town haunted by mysterious night sounds — only to discover the culprits were singing fish! Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about wildlife and urban legends.
Here’s a quick real-world backup:
- In places like Darwin and around the Adelaide River in Australia, residents reported strange, low-frequency humming at night, especially in the 1980s and 1990s.
- Scientists eventually traced it to fish mating calls, specifically from marine species like the blackspotted croaker(Protonibea diacanthus).
- These fish gather in huge numbers and their combined "singing" (vibrations) is so loud it can rattle house windows and confuse people into thinking there’s industrial or alien activity!
