Researcher's Chilling Encounter with Mysterious Yowie in Australia

In this episode of the Paranormal Portal podcast, host Brent Thomas interviews longtime friend Gary Lynn of Australia Yowie Research (AYR). Gary shares his journey into the world of the paranormal, focusing on his experiences with the elusive yowie, Australia's version of Bigfoot. Gary's interest in the paranormal started at a young age, with a fascination for Bigfoot, ghosts, UFOs, and other unexplained phenomena. His active investigation began in 2016 when he and a friend decided to explore a location near the Queensland-New South Wales border, known for yowie sightings and even marked with a "yowie crossing" sign. Armed with flashlights, they heard strange noises and eventually encountered a yowie just 10 meters away. Although they didn't capture any audio evidence, the experience left a lasting impression on Gary. As Gary and his friend continued their investigation, they heard vocalizations from the north and northwest, while another yowie paced back and forth behind them. Over the course of an hour, the vocalizations grew louder, indicating that the yowies were closing in on their location. Eventually, the vocalizations ceased, and the forest fell silent, a phenomenon often reported in yowie encounters. During their investigation, Gary and his friend experienced a buzzing sound surrounding their heads, which they believe could have been infrasound, a low-frequency sound used by animals like elephants and tigers to disorient their prey. This encounter prompted Gary to reach out to Bigfoot researcher Dean Sullivan for advice. In addition to sharing his yowie encounters, Gary also discusses his use of night vision cameras and the importance of understanding the limitations of various investigation tools. He shares an anecdote about a chance encounter with a car sporting a "yowie" license plate, which led to a conversation about his experiences and a connection with Dean Sullivan. Now, let's delve into the fascinating world of infrasound. Infrasound is sound that is below the lower limit of human audibility, typically below 20 Hz. Animals, including elephants, whales, and tigers, use infrasound for communication and to disorient their prey. Some researchers believe that yowies and other cryptids may also use infrasound as a form of communication or to create a sense of unease in humans. Infrasound can have various effects on humans, including feelings of fear, anxiety, and even nausea. These effects are often attributed to the body's natural response to low-frequency vibrations. While more research is needed to fully understand the impact of infrasound on human perception and behavior, it is an intriguing area of study that could potentially shed light on mysterious phenomena like yowie encounters. To sum up, Gary Lynn's experiences with the yowie and his insights into infrasound offer a captivating look into the world of paranormal investigation. By examining the science behind these mysterious occurrences, we can deepen our understanding of the unexplained and appreciate the complexity of the world around us.
