Published on: 1st December, 2020

🦶 In this debut episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash head down under to explore one of the most terrifying and mysterious creatures in cryptozoology — the Yowie, often called Australia’s Bigfoot.

🌏 From Aboriginal legends to modern-day sightings deep in the Australian bush, we examine chilling encounters, theories behind the Yowie’s origins, and how it compares to Bigfoot, the Yeti, and other ape-like cryptids across the globe.🎧 Are these encounters hoaxes, misidentifications, or genuine glimpses of a hidden species?We look at:


  • 🐾 Eyewitness reports of 7ft tall beasts in Queensland
  • 👣 The connection between Yowie and indigenous folklore
  • 🧬 Possible explanations — natural, paranormal, or extraterrestrial?


🛸 Whether you’re into cryptids, conspiracy, or creatures of the unknown, this episode kicks off the weird in style.

Greg & Ash

Pursuit of the Paranormal is where curiosity meets cold spots. Hosted by Greg & Ash, we dive into ghosts, UFOs/UAPs, cryptids, hauntings, and high strangeness with an open mind and a healthy dose of evidence-led thinking. Each week we investigate historic locations, unpack famous cases, and bring on researchers, experiencers, skeptics, scientists, and investigators for unfiltered conversations that challenge what we think we know.
From shadow figures in stately homes to lights in the night sky, we chase the stories, the data, and the people behind them—no clickbait, no fluff, just credible, curious, and occasionally creepy explorations of the unknown. Whether you’re a seasoned investigator, a late-night listener, or just “paranormal-curious,” you’re in good company here.
Hit follow, share your encounters, and join us as we document the unexplained—one case, one interview, one eerie EVP at a time.
