Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters

Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
