From snakes to scorpions, the Australian Outback infamously contains a wealth of fearsome animals. But legend also states that this vast wilderness is home to more than one mythical creature, including a Bigfoot-like beast called a Yowie. Though accounts from Europeans only date to the 19th century, stories from Australia’s Indigenous Aboriginal people are believed to go back much further. These tales speak of an enormous beast similar to an ape, earning the creature nicknames like the “hairy man of the wood.” This week, we dive headfirst into the lore that has built the sasquatch from down under.   Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.    This week’s episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive subjects.    High Stress Situations Animal Attacks Violence Against Animals Knife Violence Isolation   Check Out Our Friends!   BeneBenPlayin https://www.youtube.com/@benebenplayin   Mothmen 1966 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1755030/Mothmen_1966/   Bigfoot https://www.bigfootplay.com/   Articles:  https://allthatsinteresting.com/yowie   https://www.ancient-origins.net/unexplained-phenomena/australian-yowie-mysterious-legends-tribe-hairy-people-003605   Books: https://a.co/d/gKXprtS   https://a.co/d/cbbJBHr   Adverts!   Support Campfire on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettling   Satisfy All of Your Merch Needs: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702   Join the conversation on social media at  www.campfirepodcastnetwork.com    Discord:  https://discord.gg/43CPN3rz   Instagram: instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcast   GoodPods: https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplb   Twitter: www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau    Facebook: www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcast   Visit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info: https://linktr.ee/Campfirepodcast   Special Thanks:   Gregg Martin for music contributions!
