The Bush Came Alive – Ancient Elemental Spirits Saved Her Life
Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid EncountersShow Notes
What would you do if the bush itself came alive to save your life?
In this gripping episode of Cliffhanger Paranormal and Cryptid Encounters, Alana from the NSW north coast shares the night she was saved by massive elemental beings — ancient guardians of the Australian bush. These towering, human-shaped entities of bark, moss, sticks and earth stepped out of the treeline and guided her to safety when her life was genuinely at risk.
But her connection to the spiritual world goes even deeper.
Alana has lived her whole life with mediumship abilities, often visited by the spirit of country in the form of snake visions that comfort her, warn her, and guide her. She’s had unsettling experiences inside haunted establishments, witnessed eerie signs about people’s health before they happened, and navigated a lifetime of spirit activity most people never see.
We also touch on my own recent experiences — including mimic phenomena, where something has tried imitating my appearance....... kind of. Whatever it is, it’s strange, unsettling, and very recent.
This episode dives into the ancient side of Australian high-strangeness — guardians of the land, spiritual protectors, visions, warnings, and the unexplained things that move through the bush when no one else is watching.
If you’re into elemental beings, spirit guardians, mediumship, haunted places, or mimic encounters… this one’s right up your alley.
Strap in, legends. The bush came alive… and the spirits stepped forward. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trent joins me from Queensland to share a lifetime of experiences that blur the line between life, death and whatever might exist in between. After being trapped beneath the surf and reaching the point where he believed he was going to die, Trent experienced something profound. An overwhelming sense of peace, followed by what he describes as leaving his body and witnessing events unfolding from above, before suddenly finding himself back underwater fighting his way to the surface. But that’s only one chapter of his story. We dive into eerie encounters with shadow people, including figures witnessed by multiple members of his family and some unsettling experiences that seem to have followed the family across generations. Trent also shares the incredible connection he believes he still has with his late grandfather. From being inexplicably drawn directly to his grave, to receiving what seemed like a warning moments before a problem aboard a flight. Near death, out of body experiences, shadow people and a bond with a loved one that may have continued long after his passing. This one goes deep. Hosted on Acast.
