From cursed objects and orbs darting through the night to lights vanishing on lonely highways, figures in mirrors, phones ringing from nowhere and even a chilling mimic under his bed as a kid. His family line is no stranger either — with UFO encounters stretching back generations and a bushman’s story of coming face to face with a Yowie. This is part one of Sidney’s journey through paranormal chaos and malevolent forces that seem to follow him through life. Hosted on Acast.
