About this listen

Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters is a bold Australian podcast exploring terrifying true stories, mysterious creatures, and eerie encounters that blur the line between myth and reality. 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 homesteads, abandoned hospitals, and forgotten roads
  • Panther stalkings deep in rural Australia
  • Ancient legends and spiritual warnings from Aboriginal lore
  • And strange phenomena that defy logic, science, and everything you thought you knew


This isn’t polished true crime or overproduced horror. This is the real shit — raw, uncut, and straight from the source. We don’t shy away from swearing or fear. We lean into it.


So grab your torch, charge your recorder, and settle in. We’re here to document the unknown, share the unspeakable, and give a voice to the people who’ve experienced the unexplainable — and were never the same again.


Stay sharp, trust your instincts… and remember — if the bush goes quiet, you’re not alone.

  • UFOs Over Bundaberg and a Ghostly Roommate
    Oct 27 2025

    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.

  • Freemason Curse and Demonic Torment - Gabrielle’s Chilling True Story
    Oct 8 2025

    What if the darkness haunting your family wasn’t just bad luck… but a curse?


    In this chilling episode of Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, we sit down with Gabrielle from central Victoria — a woman who’s endured years of torment after a generational curse was placed on her family through their involvement with Freemasonry.


    Gabrielle opens up about the demonic activity that plagued her life and reveals how she finally broke free from it. Her story dives deep into spiritual warfare, ancestral ties, and the unseen forces that can affect generations.


    If you’ve ever felt something dark following you or holding your family back, what Gabrielle shares might just help you too.

  • Aussie Skinwalker Ranch - Yowie family, orbs and secret activity
    Sep 15 2025

    What would you do if you stumbled onto a full family of Yowies on your own property — and caught the whole thing on thermal camera?


    In this episode, Jarrod from the New England region of NSW shares his mind-blowing encounters, including thermal footage of what looks like a family group of six Yowies moving through the land around his home. We’re talking massive shoulders, gorilla-like builds, and even one of them appearing to eat or hold something in its hands.


    But it doesn’t stop there. Jarrod has also been hit with bone-rattling infrasound, witnessed strange orange “min min” lights appearing and vanishing, and even suspects there’s secretive government activity tied to the phenomena happening right under his nose. His property gives off full “Skinwalker Ranch” vibes — multiple layers of high strangeness stacked on top of each other.


    If you want to see the footage for yourself, make sure you head over to the Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters YouTube channel, and get ready — this is some of the most compelling Yowie evidence ever shared on the show.
