Shadows of the Southeast: Cloaking Yowies and Forest Encounters
In this episode, we dive into a series of chilling Yowie reports from Southeast Queensland, ranging from a legendary 1988 encounter to a fresh report from just weeks ago.
The 1988 Browns Plains Sighting
Our lead story takes us back to 1988, just off the Mount Lindesay Highway near the Logan Motorway. A local resident was out early for a routine walk with his dog before school when the morning took a surreal turn. After spotting what appeared to be an unusually huge pig, he came face-to-face with something far more inexplicable: an 8-foot-tall Yowie. Most unsettling was the witness’s description of the creature’s "cloaking" ability—he could only see half of the massive frame, as if it were partially camouflaged or transparent.
Terror in Karawatha Forest
The mystery continues just down the road at Karawatha Forest. We have heard reports of four kids who were camping in the area when they spotted a Yowie and, in a moment of pure panic, began throwing rocks at the creature. Additionally, there are accounts from three years ago involving an encounter with a rare White Yowie in this same dense bushland.
Recent Activity in Riverview
Finally, we bring the investigation into the present. Only three weeks ago (late March 2026), a new sighting was reported near Riverview Primary School near Ipswich. A witness described a shaggy, brown-black creature standing 8 to 9 feet tall with broad shoulders and a cone-shaped head. As urban areas expand into the scrub, it seems these elusive beings are being seen more than ever.
Are these creatures masters of camouflage, or is there something even more paranormal at play?
