Podcast Overview

<p><strong>Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters</strong> 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.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>You’ll hear:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Yowie sightings</strong> from the bush that’ll make your blood run cold</li><li><strong>UFO encounters</strong> from the outback to the suburbs</li><li><strong>Hauntings</strong> in old homesteads, abandoned hospitals, and forgotten roads</li><li><strong>Panther stalkings</strong> deep in rural Australia</li><li><strong>Ancient legends</strong> and spiritual warnings from Aboriginal lore</li><li>And strange phenomena that defy logic, science, and everything you thought you knew</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This isn’t polished true crime or overproduced horror. This is <strong>the real shit</strong> — raw, uncut, and straight from the source. We don’t shy away from swearing or fear.

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.</p><br><p><strong>Stay sharp, trust your instincts… and remember — if the bush goes quiet, you’re not alone.</strong></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Spirit Communication, Paranormal Portals, UFOs & Angelic Intervention | Central Coast NSW

<p>In this episode, I’m joined by Chloe from the Central Coast and Hunter Valley region of New South Wales.</p><br><p>We dive into a lifetime of paranormal experiences, including spirit communication, encounters with both benevolent and malevolent entities, UFO sightings, and powerful moments of angelic intervention during times of need.</p><br><p>Chloe also shares her experiences with what she believes were paranormal portals, describing occasions where spirits appeared to come and go through them. On two separate occasions, these encounters left her so drained and depleted that she spent the entire following day unconscious and recovering from the experience.</p><br><p>From unexplained phenomena and spiritual encounters to questions about what may exist beyond our normal understanding of reality, this is a fascinating conversation that explores the stranger side of life and the lasting impact these experiences can have on those who live through them.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
