Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters
Podcast Description
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 coldUFO encounters from the outback to the suburbsHauntings in old homesteads, abandoned hospitals, and forgotten roadsPanther stalkings deep in rural AustraliaAncient legends and spiritual warnings from Aboriginal loreAnd strange phenomena that defy logic, science, and everything you thought you knewThis 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.

In this episode, I’m joined by Matty, who grew up not far from the infamous Pilliga Forest and has experienced strange and disturbing phenomena since childhood.
Matty shares his experiences with dark and potentially demonic entities, along with encounters involving both angelic and demonic beings around his childhood property.
We also get into what he believes could be a family curse stretching back to the bushranger Captain Thunderbolt, who Matty is distantly related to.
Then we head into Yowie territory, including Matty’s sightings of potential Yowies that appeared to almost glide across the ground, a strange detail that continues to pop up in Yowie and Bigfoot encounters.
This one genuinely has a bit of everything. Yowies, dark entities, angelic beings, family curses and a lifetime of experiences that have left Matty with plenty of questions.
