I grew up in New Zealand Aotearoa and have lived almost as long again in Australia. Both these small ex-British colonies have in many ways depended upon their bigger sibling countries like England and the United States for cultural imports. Every overseas Amityville horror or Exorcist or Rendlesham or Roswell incident titillated and thrilled us, as if we didn’t have our own spooks and mysteries to scare us. The truth of the matter is that both countries have more than enough stories to tell. This podcast will tell some of those stories. What were the mysterious lights over Kaikoura, New Zealand in 1978? Does a species of ape-man lurk in the Australian bush? What picked up and dropped the car of a family of four driving across the Outback in the 1980s? Do the moa and the marsupial lion still exist? Where are the most haunted hotspots in both countries and how can you visit them?
Over the course of this podcast, you’ll find out…until then, stay spooky!
