In this episode of Cliffhanger: Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, I’m joined by Sean from the Central Coast of NSW.

Sean shares his experience of being bluff charged by what he believes was a Yowie in the dead of night. Something large closed the distance on him fast before pulling up at the last second. A moment that left no doubt he wasn’t alone out there.

That encounter wasn’t the end of it.

On numerous trips into the bush he’s had rocks and sticks thrown in his direction, felt himself being stalked by something heavy and unseen, and even experienced strange activity at his own property, including sticks deliberately jammed into the ground as potential markers.

Sean also recounts seeing a large black panther through his rifle scope while deer hunting in a NSW state forest. Clear. Solid. Unmistakable. He shares his thoughts on what these mysterious big cats might actually be and where they may have originated, including discussion around the Wallace Line and the possibility of exotic species in Australia.

Sean is an experienced bushman and hunter who knows the landscape well, making his encounters all the more compelling.

What do you think is behind Australia’s phantom big cat sightings? And what would you do if something charged you in the dark?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Two years ago at Swan View Tunnel in Western Australia, Em came face to face with something she still struggles to talk about.

What started as a casual night exploring one of WA’s most haunted locations turned into something far darker. Standing in the tunnel with a torch in hand, she saw a tall, unnatural figure caught directly in the beam of light. Thin. Lurking. Rake like in appearance. Not a shadow. Not a trick of the eye. Something physical.

The dread that followed was overwhelming. Her body went heavy. Her knees buckled. She could barely breathe. Even now, recalling it makes her hair stand up.

In this episode, Em shares the full encounter in detail, along with the strange paranormal experiences that led up to that night. From childhood spiritual sensitivity to shadow figures and moving objects, this story builds toward something that doesn’t feel human at all.

This one is intense.

Listener discretion advised.

Em was kind enough to draw what she saw that night. If you want to see her sketch of the rake like entity, head over to the Cliffhanger Facebook group.

In this episode of Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, we’re joined by Shane from Canberra, who shares a series of disturbing experiences that go well beyond a standard UFO sighting.

Shane describes witnessing square-shaped UFO craft in the Canberra region, sightings that challenge the usual expectations of how these objects look or move. But the encounters do not stop in the sky.

He also opens up about being harassed by unknown entities while asleep, including physical interactions that left him shaken and questioning what was actually happening to him. These experiences carry classic elements of high strangeness, blurring the line between the physical and the unseen.

The episode takes an even darker turn when Shane recounts a telepathic encounter with another person in Canberra, an interaction so accurate and unsettling that it deeply affected him and changed how he views consciousness and communication.

This is a raw and honest conversation exploring UFOs, entity encounters, and the frightening reality of experiences that cannot be easily explained.

If you’re from Canberra or the ACT and have seen similar craft or experienced anything like this, reach out.
