Throat singer captivates chilling woodland spirits in chilling video
A traditional throat singer has shown how his amazing vocal talents can captivate wildlife and draw in spooky woodland spirits. TikTok presence Terence MG Leano, known as Throat Sing King, set out to see if his ancient style of singing could charm local deer, but Terence, 26 and from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, seemed to have attracted some spooky spiritual watchers, too, according to some of the 1.7 million who viewed his clip. Terence, who calls himself a visionary artist, shared the clip with the message: "I was overtone singing live today when this happened." In his video, as soon as he starts his other-worldly singing, a deer stops stock still, apparently captivated by the sound. Then, say some watchers, other, more mysterious figures appear, lurking in the dense woodlands.

The TikToker, whose bio reads 'Not the king of throat singing, just a king who … [Read more...] about Throat singer captivates chilling woodland spirits in chilling video
Red Bull confirm new backup driver to Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez after Juri Vips axe
Liam Lawson will replace Juri Vips as the reserve driver for Red Bull in the wake of the Estonian's sacking for use of racist language in a video game live stream. Vips was suspended from the team's driver development programme after footage emerged of him using the n-word while gaming with friends. After a short investigation, he was then axed from the team – but kept his F2 drive with Hitech Grand Prix. It left Red Bull needing a new reserve driver for their F1 efforts, with someone needed to step in should either Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez miss a race for whatever reason. The team has now announced that two-time F2 race winner Lawson is their chosen man. The New Zealander, 20, has stood on the podium seven times in his F2 career and currently races with Carlin. Lawson's new role will also see him act as a reserve for the sister team AlphaTauri . "Well Liam Lawson steps into that role, obviously following the Juri Vips announcement," confirmed Christian … [Read more...] about Red Bull confirm new backup driver to Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez after Juri Vips axe
