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 cold UFO encounters from the outback to the suburbs Hauntings in old homestea…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T12:19:55.909785+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535"},"episode":{"title":"Attacked by an Evil Spirit | A Tarot Reader’s True Story","slug":"attacked-by-an-evil-spirit-a-tarot-reader-s-true-story","published_at":"2025-11-06T06:53:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535/attacked-by-an-evil-spirit-a-tarot-reader-s-true-story","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535","url":"https://shows.acast.com/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters/episodes/attacked-by-an-evil-spirit-a-tarot-readers-true-story","audio_url":"https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/682c4b1955cb2b926ead64a2/e/690c45cfb27ff20ceb501fd4/media.mp3","summary":"What would you do if you were attacked in your sleep by an unseen evil entity? In this chilling episode of Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, we sit down with Bon, a tarot reader from the Newcastle area whose life has been overshadowed by the paranormal since childhood. Her story isn’t just eerie… it’s downright terrifying. Bon has been physically attacked by a spirit not once, but twice, waking to find herself with real, unexplained injuries. These encounters left her shaken to the core, forcing her to confront something far darker than most could imagine. But that’s not all. Bon’s lifelong connection to the supernatural runs deep, from witchcraft and spiritual awakenings to encounters with UFOs and a glowing orb of light that once chased her along a beach in the dead of night. If you thought the world of tarot was mysterious, wait until you hear what happens when the spirits lash out. Bon offers tarot readings both in person and virtually through her Facebook page, MourningStar Tarot   https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=mourningstar%20tarot Hosted on Acast.
