604: Cryptids Vol. 4 | Bunyips, Yowie an...

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
About this episode
Australia's Outback hides more than deadly snakes and crocodiles. Ancient creatures stalk the wilderness, leaving behind torn campsites, blood-stained trees, and terrified witnesses.

The Yowie towers eight feet tall, attacks isolated hikers, and left researcher Dean Harrison scarred for life. Water-dwelling Bunyips drag victims underwater while museums hide skull evidence that proves their existence.

Most disturbing are the Yara-ma-yha-who - red tree vampires that drink blood slowly, transforming humans into creatures like themselves. Aboriginal elders warned about these predators for centuries.

Police reports document modern encounters. Veterans and park rangers describe glowing amber eyes watching from shadows. Victims return from the wilderness changed, missing time and memories.
