  • 184. EP184 High Strangeness in William Creek SA 2023

    48:53||Ep. 184
    We’re leaning into the kooky and spooky today as we head to the tiny township of William Creek SA, population about 20, in an area the local first nations people call Arabana country. It’s gibber plain around there – red soil, arid, desert landscapes covered in a layer of pebbles and rocks. Pete, originally from Alice Springs, took a job working at the local pub about three years ago. He had his first day off coming up, so asked a local elder where to go for a nice walk. The elder suggested a local water hole, so Pete took off for the waterhole the next day. Unfortunately, Pete got a bit lost, and what happened next was very strange, to say the least. We'll let him tell you the story.

    02:21:00||Ep. 183
    You're going to love today's show! I had a wide‑ranging chat with Kevin and Phoebe, and they share several years’ worth of remarkable experiences from Lower Wonga, Wolvi and Dalby in QLD, and Yowrie in NSW. We’re talking yowie sightings, dogman, big‑cats, spirits, eyeshine, mindspeak, tracks, greasy handprints and footprints, infrasound, portals… even their horse was attacked by a panther! Kevin and Phoebe have so much to share with you. To quote Kevin, “As I spun around, in the beam of the torch about 30 feet from me was this huge, ginger yowie!” And that’s just one moment in a long list of experiences...

  • 181. EP181 It Was Orange, Hairy and Upright: Daylight Yowie Sighting in Weipa FNQ 2021

    02:14:33||Ep. 181
    Our guest today joins us from Weipa in Far North Queensland, right on the tip of Cape York—about as far north as you can get on the mainland. In August 2021, while hunting on the edge of a swamp, Tim spotted an orange, hairy, bipedal being with a conical-shaped head. He got a clear look in daylight (a rare occurrence with yowie sightings) and what he saw has stayed with him. After the sighting, Tim spoke with local Original Australian elders, who shared their knowledge of the hairy man. Tim will also be telling us about a UFO sighting in Werribee VIC and a black panther encounter in Mirboo North VIC.

  • 178. EP178 It Sounded Like It Was Right Behind Me! The Bellbird Grove Yowie QLD 2023

    49:38||Ep. 178
    Today we’re heading to Queensland, to the infamous Bellbird Grove, a nature reserve tucked away in the southern section of D’Aguilar National Park, just 16 kilometres from Brisbane’s city centre. This is a place rich in biodiversity, ancient forest, and...something else entirely. Back in 2020, one of my earliest witness interviews took place right here, involving a man who had a terrifying experience with a juvenile dooligarl and its parent. Fast‑forward to August 2023, and today’s guest, Mark, returns to Bellbird Grove—this time with his daughter. What they heard, what they saw, and what revealed itself in the sunlight is fascinating and deeply familiar to many other witnesses and yowie enthusiasts.
