## Resource

Preyed on by the Paranormal: When Darkness Strikes at Our Most Vulnerable. on Part One, Sidney shared a lifetime of encounters with cursed objects, shadow figures, strange orbs and UFO contact stretching across generations. But his story doesn’t end there — Part Two takes us even deeper into the chaos. This episode covers Sid’s unsettling visions out bush that felt driven by something malevolent, terrifying bouts of sleep paralysis, and an unforgettable Yowie encounter to close it out. But beyond the paranormal, Sid shows incredible courage by opening up about his struggles with depression and addiction, and how those darkest moments left him vulnerable to forces that seemed to feed on his pain. This is one of the rawest and most powerful conversations yet on Cliffhanger . It’s a mix of chilling encounters, supernatural interference and the resilience of someone brave enough to step forward and share their truth. Hosted on Acast.
