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 Mind Speak & UFO Encounters in rural Victoria part 2","slug":"yowie-mind-speak-ufo-encounters-in-rural-victoria-part-2","published_at":"2026-05-20T00:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cliffhanger-paranormal-and-cryptid-encounters-7396535/yowie-mind-speak-ufo-encounters-in-rural-victoria-part-2","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-mind-speak-ufo-encounters-in-rural-victoria-part-2","audio_url":"https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/682c4b1955cb2b926ead64a2/e/6a094d1868dc584edab594f0/media.mp3","summary":"In Part 2 of my interview with Marty from rural Victoria, we go even deeper down the rabbit hole. This episode focuses heavily on the bizarre connection between Yowies, UFO activity, orb lights, and the unsettling telepathic communication Marty experienced over a number of years. We discuss the apparent distrust and tension between different entities operating around the property, including what Marty describes as more malevolent and insect-like intelligences compared to the protective “forest people” he’d previously encountered. Marty also shares details surrounding rotating lights over paddocks, strange humming sounds, and the eerie feeling that something far beyond our understanding was unfolding around him. This episode gets seriously weird and explores the possibility that the Yowie phenomenon may be connected to something much bigger than just an undiscovered primate. Buckle up legends… this one goes deep. Hosted on Acast.
