They Own The Night

Surviving The Pilliga

By: Luka T. Jacobs, Michelle Ford

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

On the edge of the Pilliga, my family's quest for a fresh start in a new home quickly spiralled into a nightmare we could never have imagined. Initially, we had no idea that Yowies existed, but after countless terrifying incidents, we had no choice but to accept that these elusive creatures were the source of our fear. These encounters with the mysterious Yowie turned our lives upside down, filling us with terror and leaving us constantly fearing for our family's safety. This is not a tale of monsters, blood, and gore, but rather an honest and harrowing account of our real-life experiences.
