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":"Yowie Contact South Coast NSW - Bretto's back!!","slug":"yowie-contact-south-coast-nsw-bretto-s-back","published_at":"2026-03-29T07:02:17+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535/yowie-contact-south-coast-nsw-bretto-s-back","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535","url":"https://shows.acast.com/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters/episodes/yowie-contact-south-coast-nsw-brettos-back","audio_url":"https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/682c4b1955cb2b926ead64a2/e/69c8ce7a88f1e89132e438e2/media.mp3","summary":"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.
