About Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters

Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters is a bold Australian podcast exploring terrifying true stories, mysterious creatures, and eerie encounters that blur the line between myth and reality. Hosted by Ben, a Koori lad with an eye for the unexplained and a voice you won’t forget, this show pulls you into the dark corners of the world — from haunted bushland to remote valleys and hidden tracks where few dare to tread.Whether it’s the guttural howls of a Yowie shaking the gumtrees, glowing eyes in the paddock at midnight, strange lights hovering over back-country skies, or the spirit of a long-dead farmer standing at the foot of your bed — these stories aren’t folklore… they’re firsthand.Each episode features raw storytelling, cultural insight, and often chilling interviews with everyday Aussies and Indigenous Elders who’ve come face-to-face with things most only whisper about. Some tales are ancient, passed down through generations. Others happened just last week. All of them will leave you questioning what’s really out there.You’ll hear:Yowie sightings from the bush that’ll make your blood run coldUFO encounters from the outback to the suburbsHauntings in old homesteads, abandoned hospitals, and forgotten roadsPanther stalkings deep in rural AustraliaAncient legends and spiritual warnings from Aboriginal loreAnd strange phenomena that defy logic, science, and everything you thought you knewThis isn’t polished true crime or overproduced horror. This is the real shit — raw, uncut, and straight from the source. We don’t shy away from swearing or fear. We lean into it.So grab your torch, charge your recorder, and settle in. We’re here to document the unknown, share the unspeakable, and give a voice to the people who’ve experienced the unexplainable — and were never the same again.Stay sharp, trust your instincts… and remember — if the bush goes quiet, you’re not alone.

episode Yowie Mind Speak & UFO Encounters in rural Victoria part 2 artwork

Yowie Mind Speak & UFO Encounters in rural Victoria part 2

In Part 2 of my interview with Marty from rural Victoria, we go even deeper down the rabbit hole. This episode focuses heavily on the bizarre connection between Yowies, UFO activity, orb lights, and the unsettling telepathic communication Marty experienced over a number of years. We discuss the apparent distrust and tension between different entities operating around the property, including what Marty describes as more malevolent and insect-like intelligences compared to the protective “forest people” he’d previously encountered. Marty also shares details surrounding rotating lights over paddocks, strange humming sounds, and the eerie feeling that something far beyond our understanding was unfolding around him. This episode gets seriously weird and explores the possibility that the Yowie phenomenon may be connected to something much bigger than just an undiscovered primate. Buckle up legends… this one goes deep. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Yowie Mind Speak & UFO Encounters in Rural Victoria

Tonight I’m joined by Marty from rural Victoria for one of the most fascinating Yowie encounters I’ve heard yet. We dive deep into his experiences with mind speak communication, repeated encounters with a family group of Yowies and possible smaller junjudees, strange behaviour that suggested cloaking or portal-like movement, and the eerie intelligence behind these beings. We also look at some wild UFO encounters on the same property. Marty also shares his insane Junjudee encounters, bizarre vocalisations, and the subtle telepathic communication he believes he developed over time with the forest people. This is Part 1 of a massive two-part interview, so buckle up legends… this one gets seriously strange. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Yowie Contact South Coast NSW - Bretto's back!! artwork

Yowie Contact South Coast NSW - Bretto's back!!

Calling all budding Yowie researchers… if you’ve ever wanted to get boots on the ground and be part of something real, this one’s for you. We’re building a community of like minded people right here on the South Coast of NSW through SCYRA: the South Coast Yowie Research Association. It’s all about sharing knowledge, comparing experiences and getting out there together to document what’s really going on in our bush with our hairy hominid cousins. Today’s episode features a fan favourite and all round top bloke, Bretto. He’s recently had a daytime Yowie sighting right here on the South Coast, crossing a road in full view. I also discuss an experience I also had here on the South Coast where I got responses back in the form of claps, knocks and clacks. We also get into a dark and unsettling encounter involving grey aliens, including a potential abduction out bush that he’s been reluctant to speak about until now. If you’ve ever felt the pull to get involved in Yowie investigations, this is your sign. So grab a bevy, settle in and if you’re keen to be part of SCYRA, reach out 🤙 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode UFO Encounters in Melbourne & Flying Cryptid Attack Canberra artwork

UFO Encounters in Melbourne & Flying Cryptid Attack Canberra

In this episode I’m joined by Tim from Canberra, who has experienced some truly bizarre things in the sky throughout his life. Most striking of all was a close encounter in suburban Melbourne with a roiling, bubbling plasmatic red orb that appeared to be observing him and his family from above. The object burned with incredible brightness before suddenly blinking out and seemingly disguising itself as a normal star in the night sky. Tim has also witnessed more traditional cigar-shaped UFO craft and several other strange aerial phenomena over the years. We also dive into a story passed down, where his aunty was attacked in her car by a vicious pterodactyl-like cryptid in Canberra, an encounter that left her shaken and questioning what exactly is flying through our skies. From UFOs and strange aerial lights to flying cryptids, big cats and other unexplained encounters, Tim and I go down plenty of rabbit holes and share our thoughts on the possible origins of these mysterious phenomena. If you enjoy stories of UFO encounters, cryptids, and high strangeness in Australia, you’re going to enjoy this one. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Yowie Bluff Charge & Black Panther Encounter | Hunter Valley NSW artwork

Yowie Bluff Charge & Black Panther Encounter | Hunter Valley NSW

In this episode of Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, I’m joined by Sean from the Central Coast of NSW. Sean shares his experience of being bluff charged by what he believes was a Yowie in the dead of night. Something large closed the distance on him fast before pulling up at the last second. A moment that left no doubt he wasn’t alone out there. That encounter wasn’t the end of it. On numerous trips into the bush he’s had rocks and sticks thrown in his direction, felt himself being stalked by something heavy and unseen, and even experienced strange activity at his own property, including sticks deliberately jammed into the ground as potential markers. Sean also recounts seeing a large black panther through his rifle scope while deer hunting in a NSW state forest. Clear. Solid. Unmistakable. He shares his thoughts on what these mysterious big cats might actually be and where they may have originated, including discussion around the Wallace Line and the possibility of exotic species in Australia. Sean is an experienced bushman and hunter who knows the landscape well, making his encounters all the more compelling. What do you think is behind Australia’s phantom big cat sightings? And what would you do if something charged you in the dark? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
