A Yowie… in the outer suburbs of Melbourne?

Most people picture Yowie encounters happening deep in the ranges or hidden valleys but sometimes, they’re a lot closer to home than we’d like to think.

In this episode of Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, we hear from John a current police officer with over three decades on the force as he recalls the single most terrifying night of his life.

More than forty years ago, John was just twelve years old, camping with his younger brother and cousins on a quiet property near Ringwood, Victoria. What started as a night of laughs and shenanigans quickly turned into raw, paralysing fear when something massive began circling their campsite in the dark. They never saw it but they could hear it. Heavy, deliberate footsteps… and the unmistakable sound of deep, powerful breathing from something with lungs far too big to belong to any ordinary animal.

When the fear finally became too much, the kids tore off to the house terrified, shaking, and certain they’d just come face to face with something impossible.

Later, it became clear this wasn’t an isolated incident. The neighbours had been losing poultry some time and looking back now, John believes this hairy lad had been making easy meals of the local animals for a while.

Even all these years later, the memory still sends shivers down his spine and knowing what he knows now, John suspects he may have even felt the effects of infrasound that night.

So settle in, legends this is one you won’t forget. A chilling Yowie encounter from Melbourne’s outskirts that proves… they’re not always as far away as we think.

What would you do if you were attacked in your sleep by an unseen evil entity?

In this chilling episode of Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, we sit down with Bon, a tarot reader from the Newcastle area whose life has been overshadowed by the paranormal since childhood. Her story isn’t just eerie… it’s downright terrifying.

Bon has been physically attacked by a spirit not once, but twice, waking to find herself with real, unexplained injuries. These encounters left her shaken to the core, forcing her to confront something far darker than most could imagine.

But that’s not all. Bon’s lifelong connection to the supernatural runs deep, from witchcraft and spiritual awakenings to encounters with UFOs and a glowing orb of light that once chased her along a beach in the dead of night.

If you thought the world of tarot was mysterious, wait until you hear what happens when the spirits lash out.

Bon offers tarot readings both in person and virtually through her Facebook page, MourningStar Tarot

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.

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.
