Yowie Central

Today's show is an absolute ripper! Dean joins us with a few stories to share that will blow your mind. We’re in the Hornsby Heights/Galston Gorge NSW area, as well as Puckapunyal VIC where the army training base is. We’ve got UFOs and what seems like a possibly abduction, we’ve got a yowie sighting from when he was in the army training at Puckapunyal, and we’ve got a very strange story from when he was camping in the bush as a 15 year old that we suspect was yowie activity, but there are a few anomalies that are just plain bizarre. You can make your minds upon that one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We’re heading to the notorious Pilliga Forest first up this week for yet another truck driver yowie sighting! If you’re new to the show or haven’t heard of the Pilliga Forest, it’s a massive, ancient semi-arid woodland covering over half a million hectares (more than 3,000 square kilometers between Coonabarabran and Narrabri), in north-central New South Wales, Australia. The Pilliga includes national parks, nature reserves, and state conservation areas, it features rugged sandstone landscapes, rich Indigenous heritage, and immense biodiversity. The Gamilaraay Nation has a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land spanning tens of thousands of years. Recognized as a vital biodiversity hotspot, it houses hundreds of native plant and animal species, including koalas, eastern pygmy possums, rare barking owls, and malleefowl. The Pilliga is also characterized by flat sandy plains, white cypress pine forests, ironbark, and ancient rock formations. It is also a place of high strangeness where truck drivers often refuse to stop. I’ve personally taken nine reports of yowies and other strange happenings from that area over the years, and there are many more stories out there that I’ve heard and I’m sure many that I haven’t. Today we talk to one of those truck drivers, Baz. I first interviewed Baz about his yowie sighting in the Pilliga several years ago, so first up I’m going to share an excerpt of his original interview, and then I caught up with him a couple of months ago for a catch up chat. Baz shared what happened when he and a mate went looking for yowies in the Glenbrook/Blue Mountains area of NSW (another yowie hotspot) – and I’m talking a whole heap of what I’d call typical yowie activity and moments of feeling that nameless dread that so many people report. Baz also tells us about the time he had full blown sighting of a black panther, and how he’s worked out a great way to broach the subject of yowies with new people to find like-minded friends.

Imagine you’re driving at night with your teenaged daughters in the car, it’s a quiet night and there’s very little traffic. You’re driving through Rossmore on the outskirts of Sydney NSW, an area with market gardens, open paddocks and a house here and there. Suddenly, you see an 8-10 foot tall, silvery-grey, hairy being with a conical head thundering down a driveway, cross the road in two bounds and disappear down the opposite driveway! That’s what happened to Jane and her daughters about 25 years ago, she remembers it vividly and she’s going to share it with you today. The fact there were two witnesses lends even more credence to this report. Jane is also one of those people who sees beyond the veil and has had a lifetime of high strangeness going on around her - and boy does she have some fascinating, spooky experiences to share with you!

We've got a ripper of a show lined up for you! Ian’s joining us to share some seriously chilling paranormal experiences in Far North Queensland (FNQ). While out cutting timber at Blackdown Tableland, he had an experience that absolutely terrified him - and he’s an ex-professional boxer who usually isn’t scared of much. Then over to Moranbah, the Isaac River and Garrawalt Creek for yowie sightings and encounters, both his own and his friends', including a yowie that fades out in front of the eyes and a yowie seen by a large group of about forty young people; and finally over to Townsville for some spooky paranormal action.

We've got an amazing show lined up for you today as we stay mostly in my home state of VIC, but also head to Kariong NSW and Exmouth WA. I first spoke with Steve several years ago when he told me about the large, grey-coloured, weirdly-moving being he suspects was a yowie that he saw in the Valencia Creek area. I heard from him again a few years later when he reported seeing a juvenile yowie up near Kariong in NSW. Sadly, I lost that recording so a couple of months ago I reached out to him to see if we could re-record it. Steve wrote back that he’d love to speak with me, that he was unwell and had a terminal illness, and that he’d like to share a few other weird things that he experienced over the years before he passes. We’ve got bizarre golden-skinned humanoids, a huge, bell-shaped UFO, yowies in Valencia Creek VIC and Kariong NSW, and more! Ready? Buckled up? Let’s go! Hosted on Acast.

We're heading to Cooloolabin QLD as Emma joins us to share her amazing yowie experiences. When she moved into her current place, she felt the dooligarl presence straight away. Emma set out to made friends with them, and I think you'll agree she did a fantastic job. From chittering, hooting, whistling and running around her home to red eyes and an intense energy wave that hit her in the chest, Emma's dooligarl experiences are remarkable. Emma also shares a fascinating idea she had as to why dooligarls seem to like gifting marbles. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I’ve got a fantastic show lined up for you today, my friends. Nick joins us to share some seriously freaky experiences he had in the Macedon and Wombat State Forest areas. One night, Nick and a friend snuck out and saw what they could only describe as a werewolf. Yes, a werewolf! Or was it a dogman? You can decide that for yourselves. Nick also had a few other seriously scary experiences that he's going to share with you today. Ready? Good! Let's get into it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today's episode is a real treat! We're joined by Jason Lord, a proud Arrernte man from central Australia. Boxing saved him from a difficult path when he was a child and set him on a course to become a champion and mentor for at-risk youth. He became an Australian boxing champion in his youth, and he now changes lives for the better with the boxing program he runs for young people and for people about to be released from prison. Jason’s gifts go beyond the physical — he sees into the world beyond the veil, and today he’s sharing some of his most spine-tingling stories, from a yowie sighting to haunted highways, portals, black magic, and ancient indigenous lore.

I’ve got a very special show for you today and I'm so excited to share it with you! Six years ago, almost to the day, I did an interview that went on to become one of the best-known, if not the best known, yowie sighting of all time. Yes, I’m talking about Hickeys Falls. It’s the one story that people always bring up to me when they mention their favourite yowie sightings. Many people have also told me that it was this story that made them believers in the existence of yowies. Many people were moved by not just the sincerity of the witness but also the residual fear clearly audible in her voice ten years after the event. With all of that in mind and with the sixth anniversary at the end of this month, I thought I’d reach out to the Hickeys Falls witness and see if she was up for a catch up chat. And thankfully, she was. So, today Yowie Central proudly presents the re-mastered original interview with the hour-long catch up chat I had with the courageous and articulate Hickeys Falls witness. For those not familiar with Hickeys Falls, it’s located in NSW at the southern end of the notoriously spooky Pilliga State Forest. It’s a small but stunningly beautiful waterfall surrounded by cliffs that form a natural amphitheatre, located just off the Newell Hwy. There’s a rest stop there, where you can park or stay the night or have a picnic and swim in the waterholes at the bottom of the falls. If you dare... Hosted on Acast.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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... Hosted on Acast.

I’ve got an absolute ripper for you today! My guest is one of my favourite humans— Bigfoot Michigan Rob , host of Brunch with BMR and Bigfoot Michigan Rob and Beyond. Rob’s one of those people who’s been seeing beyond the veil since he was a kid. In this chat he shares some of his wildest experiences—plus stories his listeners have trusted him with. We get into his terrifying Bigfoot sighting—and the tragic events that followed. His weird stickman sighting. Dogman and shadow people. Creepy small towns and the secrets they keep. And then there’s the Vegas story… honestly, it’s one of the trippiest things I’ve ever heard—Rob thinks he may have bilocated and ended up in Vegas playing poker with the Devil! We also talk about the recent film about the Patterson–Gimlin footage. Quick heads up—there are a couple of F‑bombs in this episode, so if little ears are around, maybe save it for later. You can buy Rob's books True Cryptid Encounters Books 1-3 on Amazon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our guest today is Natalie Seigne, who’s going to share her yowie sightings in the Northern Rivers NSW area, amongst other fascinating topics. Natalie is a trained spiritual healer who runs women’s retreats that focus on spiritual guidance, deep healing of past trauma, helping people connect with their own spirit and spirit guides and helping them create happy and purposeful lives. She is also professional medium, and we discuss the difficulties with predicting the future, the importance of mental health training for mediums and lots more. Hosted on Acast.

Join us as we welcome Jake Cassar —survival and bushcraft teacher, conservationist, and author of a novel called The Cave , which tells the story of a young man ambushed and taken captive by yowies. Jake is also one of the witnesses of Old Fire Hands , an infamous yowie active in the Woy Woy and Kariong area of New South Wales. Today, he’s going to share what happened when he saw Old Fire Hands on a camping trip for his 17th birthday, along with some bushcraft wisdom and insights into his new book.

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. Hosted on Acast.

Today we’re staying right here in my home state of Victoria, and we’ve got some seriously chilling yowie encounters to share. While these weren’t full visual sightings, I think once you hear them, you’ll agree they have all the hallmarks of yowie activity. Celeste and Lach join me to talk about their encounters from 2024 in Koorool and 2025 near Lake Tyers. Lach also shares a chilling experience from his childhood near Licola. These stories tick a lot of familiar boxes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s our first show of the year—happy new year, everyone! And what a show we have for you; Mike Paterson from Sasquatch Ontario is here, bringing jaw-dropping stories of his encounters with the Sasquatch people, including one remarkable Sasquatch family. Mike’s been deep in Sasquatch research since 2008, and his ongoing contact since 2012 has completely changed his view of reality. He describes Sasquatch as interdimensional ancient humans, reaching out to us and expanding our understanding of the universe, and I’d have to agree whole heartedly with him. Together with his research partner, Dwayne, Mike has experienced everything from hours and hours of Sasquatch vocalisations—especially from a Sasquatch named Neph—to footprints appearing in the snow in real time, marbles materialising out of thin air, physical contact, and even written communication. Today, we’ll dive into all of that, plus the photos Dwayne snapped of Neph, mysterious orbs and the Sasquatch-UFO connection, CE5, dogman, and so much more. So, buckle up—this episode is going to blow your mind! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s the final show of the year, and what a year it’s been! We’ve had mind-boggling interviews, fascinating information, and a growing sense of awe for our bush friends and the real world around us. Our guest today hails from Bundaberg in QLD. Terry is a kind-hearted soul and a natural born, gifted medium, but didn’t explore that side of himself until much later in life. We had a wide-ranging conversation, and he shares how he realised he had to utilize his gifts, he tells us about the dooligarls that visit him on his property and their messages to us, his interactions with spirits and entities both good and bad, to what to do when there’s a negative spirit around, why not to fear death, black panthers and so much more!

Now, buckle up, because today’s episode is absolutely epic! We’re kicking things off with a cool yowie sighting from way back in 1989, deep in the Wombat State Forest in Victoria. But that’s just the beginning! Next, we’re heading up to the Daintree in Far North Queensland, where our guest Tony managed a cattle farm right on the edge of the national park. What Tony and his family went through over three years is nothing short of extraordinary—think escalating dooligarl and paranormal activity, the kind of saga that brings to mind the infamous Skinwalker Ranch in the United States. Tony, his wife, and their four young kids lived peacefully for the first eight months. But after devastating floods in 2019, the property owner decided to turn the place into an eco-tourism spot, and Tony was tasked with building the first glamping site. That’s when things got, in Tony’s words, ‘insane’—and just kept getting weirder. We’re talking dooligarls, junjadees, dogman, mysterious orbs, invisible beings, and even a bizarre purple humanoid that absolutely terrified Tony’s wife. And to add another layer, the property itself has a dark past—the original Kuku Yulanji people were killed and displaced from what was their home. Whether that history played a part in what happened, who can say? But what unfolded was a mind-boggling series of strange, spooky, and sometimes downright terrifying encounters. Hosted on Acast.
