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":"UFOs Over Bundaberg and a Ghostly Roommate","slug":"ufos-over-bundaberg-and-a-ghostly-roommate","published_at":"2025-10-27T06:28:05+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535/ufos-over-bundaberg-and-a-ghostly-roommate","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535","url":"https://shows.acast.com/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters/episodes/ufos-over-bundaberg-and-a-ghostly-roommate","audio_url":"https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/682c4b1955cb2b926ead64a2/e/68ff10f518bcdad2ab40bd8c/media.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters , we’re joined by Blake from Bundaberg , who’s had a series of unsettling experiences he can’t quite explain. While out camping, Blake witnessed what he’s convinced was a UFO , followed not long after by odd phone calls from unknown officials trying to convince him that what he saw was nothing more than swamp gas . The whole thing left him questioning who was really behind those calls — and why they were so eager to dismiss what he’d seen. Not long after, Blake began dealing with something even closer to home — disturbing paranormal activity inside his own house that suggested he wasn’t living alone. It’s a strange mix of UFOs, strange interference, and a possible haunting — all wrapped up in one unnerving story straight out of Bundaberg. Hosted on Acast.
