6. The Singing Fish
Particularly around dawn and dusk, an odd phenomena that has perplexed both visitors and experts alike is the enigmatic melody that comes from the lake’s depths. Early 1900s local fishermen initially documented this phenomenon, characterising it as an ethereal chorus emanating from a school of unique silver-scaled fish. Found nowhere else in the world, these fish create harmonic sounds like human singing. Although they have researched this unusual species, marine experts cannot understand how they generate such intricate musical patterns. During particular lunar phases, the fish seem to gather in big numbers to create complex underwater performances attracting visitors from all over the world. Recording these enigmatic songs and studying their patterns, acoustic engineers have found that their mathematical framework resembles that of classical music compositions. The local indigenous people hold these fish as the reincarnated spirits of former musicians who once resided in a city now under lake water. Studies of the fish have revealed unusual anatomical traits not seen in any other species, including specialised organs that might generate the eerie sounds. The melodies can be heard from many kilometres away during especially active times, producing a natural amphitheatre effect that magnificuates the enigmatic melody over the surrounding terrain.These musical phenomena have been recorded by scientists as frequently occurring coincidental with major astronomical events, implying a possible relationship between celestial motions and fish behaviour.
