0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Samantha Faye. And I'm Deb Bowen. |
0:15.1 | And today in honor of spooky month, we're going to be sharing some spine tingling stories |
0:20.7 | that have been happening in the news recently. We're going to close out with some very scary |
0:26.5 | black eyed children's stories that are. Are you ready, Deb? Are you so excited? I know you |
0:34.4 | hold your breath all year waiting for this month. Well, some of these stories are lovely. |
0:39.6 | That's not so much. Like FYI, you did not warn me we were going to do that thing at the end. |
0:47.2 | I did not. I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. Well, okay, but you know, we have a particular |
0:52.8 | listener that I will send an email to about that. That's true. Thank you. I promised him we would |
0:58.0 | always do that for him. Okay. All right. So let's go. All right. Would you like to start us off? |
1:04.0 | Yeah, I would because this one's nice. This was about fairy circles. So a recent study which |
1:12.7 | uses artificial intelligence to examine thousands of satellite images has revealed hundreds of |
1:20.2 | fairy circles around the world when the formations were found in Africa's Nambib desert and parts |
1:26.8 | of Australia. Researchers developed an AI model designed to recognize fairy circles based on |
1:35.5 | known pictures of the phenomena. They were shocked to find 263 previously undiscovered fairy |
1:46.0 | circles in 15 different countries across three continents. The project's lead researcher said in |
1:51.8 | a press release that quote, this has allowed us for the first time to globally understand the factors |
1:59.6 | affecting their distribution. They found that all of the areas where the fairy circles were found |
2:06.4 | were in very dry areas that on an average received less than seven inches of rainfall per year |
2:13.8 | and that the soil was low in nitrogen. This research team has since created a quote, |
2:19.9 | global atlas of fairy circles to be used by researchers trying to solve the mystery of their odd |
2:26.1 | rings of vegetation. So I'm assuming that when we're describing a fairy circle here, |
2:32.5 | we're talking like a circle of mushrooms, for example, or a circle of some kind of plants. |
