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:
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.

A podcast where real stories meet real terror. From Yowies in the bush to ghostly apparitions in military bases, ancient Aboriginal legends to unexplained lights in the sky—Cliffhanger is your portal to the strange, eerie, and downright unexplainable.
Hosted by Ben Clifford, a Koori lad from the South Coast with a lifetime of eerie encounters, this show dives deep into the paranormal from both lived experience and cultural perspective. Expect interviews with Elders, eyewitnesses, researchers, and everyday Aussies who’ve seen and felt things they can’t explain.
In this pilot episode, Ben kicks things off by sharing his own personal origin story: strange happenings from childhood, bizarre run-ins while serving in the Royal Australian Navy, and a deep spiritual connection to the unseen that’s shaped the way he sees the world. This is where it all began.
If you’re into Yowie lore, haunted places, cryptid creatures, and paranormal happenings with a uniquely Australian flavour—subscribe now and settle in. Because when the bush goes quiet… you’re not alone.
