The Pilliga Scrub | Australia's Cursed Bushland

Bullshit I've lived in there for 70yrs

Great effort, but please learn how to pronounce the names of the towns you mention in your story.

Can't wait to check it out! Its all BS of course but i love to freak myself out

I've worked with a bloke that's seen the princess ghost, floated next to his window as he was driving. You could still see the fear in him telling the story years later.

BONGO STORY IS CRAZY

I heard of an incident where a grey nomad couple died in their sleep in their caravan, after they supposedly forgot to turn their LPG cooking gas off. I assume it happened in one of the Pilliga's rest stops. I drove through there once and it was ok, apart from similar grey nomads with caravans going shit slow in front.

🙏🏿GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS MIGHTY HOLY NAME AMEN🙏🏿

Er....."cursed" .....nope the curse was European ignorant settlement knackering as much bush via the greed mentality of the elite illuminists so called ....

there is no such sanitorium in Australia called 'Happy Days Stay Retreat', nor has there ever been

I so feel sorry for poor Bongo....that experience made me cry totally traumatised...My daughter and myself I'm an empathic psychic drove through that place it was on dusk I was tembling and scared out of my mind the energy was horrific...finally got into town all the motels full ..One kind man took us in and put us in a family room not done up so grateful this was a motel...he said Missy lots of strange things go on around here don't travel alone with yr child again..and I didnt

We camped at the salt caves in 2016.nothing happened but it was sooo quiet.

My Dad and brother chased them nim nim lights up Roseneath Rd Watson's creek NSW in-between Armidale and Tamworth. Was funny i watched as they'd go down the light go off be up top then they go up it went down and u gotta understand it was all granite no way u walk that at night that quick. Also had a few yowie experiences there too. True but guess nobody believed it dad killed himself only my brother can vouch but he won't.❤🙏🇦🇺

I new a lady who’s mid 60’s who was raised in a area by the Pilliga Forest…she said when she was young she saw the ‘hairy man’ standing on the edge of the forest in the distance. She was a child but remembered it .

Waiting for the movie...'The Piliga'. Ghosts, Yowies, abductions in the dead of night and skinny white legs marinating in the trees....staring Bongo, the lone survivor. True story!

I play in a band and we travel along the newell from Brisbane to miss Sydney and get straight to Melbourne, we stopped in the pillga at night and sane thing there was no sound absolutely, it was weird

Aussie bush is depthly silent at night.
Once the birds and roos settle for the night its absolute silence, scary silence for people from the suburbs.
Owls, possums and foxes scare the crap out of people.,

I wonder if it took bongo East or West . If it took him east , it would be taking him deeper into bushland , which is the great dividing range and west is reasonably limited . If the story is true , then my guess would be that , he was taken east . I would like to meet bongo , if he's still alive

Honestly I believe the world is divided by a magnetic Triangle Pyramid, one such end of the Triangle is in Egypt another the Bermuda Triangle , The Pilaga scrub is another each of these areas have many things that are unexplainable,and may be the reason why the ancient people built the Pyramids in the first place

Poor Bongo, if he did experience this, my heart goes out to him

The princess is an ALIEN 👽 with long black hair.

Bongo is a top lad , poor fella had an encounter with an alien 👽 who collected legs 🦵/body part's.

My younger brother and I used to love it here. We lived in a motor home full time, and would stop in the Pilliga each time on our way up to, or down from QLD, because we used to drive inland to avoid Sydney. Anyway, my dad wouldn’t stop in Dubbo for any reason, so we used to pull up for the night at a rest stop here. Have a campfire. My brother and I would go exploring and collecting wood, looking for bugs, there are a lot of meat eating ants there, so we would feed them.

The only weird vibe we ever got from the place was from another camper in a van, who seemed to be set up there rather permanently, and the van was a lot deeper into the bush than the rest stop went. Otherwise, it all seemed pretty chill every time we stayed the night. Mum and dad did mention that it was meant to be haunted, but let us wander however far we wanted to. I actually liked it there a lot. I would like to have seen something, but the place just didn’t strike me as being haunted or having a bad vibe. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Don't forget that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

We drove through the Pilliga on the Newell hwy last Saturday afternoon.
I didn’t know any of these stories.
I kept saying to my husband who was driving, we need to get out of here before dark.
It was just a feeling, we stopped at the pottery place for coffee & our dog was acting weird, she wouldn’t lie down she was on edge.
The Forrest looks beautiful but something felt off, it’s a weird feeling.

I know the Pilliga well my advice don’t go there

I need to go here..

This stuff is real.
I had some friends who were traveling along a track somewhere south west of Canberra.
It was a land cruiser and a caravan.
They walked a couple of k to the nearest farm house and asked for help.
The farmer refused to help them or leave the house as it was starting to become dark. He told them about some sort of large humanoid creature that freaks out and maybe? Attacks the animals at night.
So he cooked these complete strangers (to him) dinner and let them stay the night because he didn't want them to leave the house either.
He helped them out of the bog in the morning.
But it's Australia, that's just what it's like.
The person telling me about this, the guy it happened to is a doctor and I've never known him to bullshit or embellish a story. His wife confirmed it too.

Lived on a Station close to the Pilliga.Drove it day and night. Nothing. Other people are trouble.

I think bongo is referring to good days mental health service??

The "Happy Days Retreat" guy is a promo for a movie based on The Pilliga - but you already knew that huh

Hi mate, I'm Australian and I've been an interstate truck driver for over 40 year's ( now retired ) and have been through Piliga on the Newell highway many times and I've seen some weird shit down there, one night around midnight and right at the end of my high beam I saw something huge walking across the road ( walking on 2 leg's ) really fast from left to right, I honestly thought I was seeing thing's, I knew it wasn't from being tired as I had just had a 6 hour sleep, to this date I still think about it 🤔 this was in 1999, also back in the late 70s I used to go pig hunting a lot on my mate's property, one day we went into the Piliga to cut railway sleepers and whilst we were there we ran into a couple of old bloke's who lived in the Piliga for years in this old tin humpy and some of their stories of strange thing's you hear in the night, it gave me goosebumps.
Great video mate.

Experienced the MinMin lights, big black cat and dad who travelled through there regularly has seen Pilliga Princess.
Weve hunted out Pilliga since 80s, Dad always said its Kadijah country, dont wander off. Kadijah man point bone at you and you'll never be seen again. Others have told me its bad magic land and Kadijah Woman lives there. Having some Kamilaroi blood in me I know somethings not right out there as it Kamilaroi country

I swear when my old man and myself were going through the pilliga about half way through there we started having car problems we pulled up to check and we heard nothing but total silence and the only noise we heard were strange crying sounds all-around from women and children we got back in the car and with some luck got to where we were going very eerie

Bongo is a bullshit story

It’s a shame that none of the footage showed is anywhere near and nothing like the actual PilligaScrub or the area around there.

The pilliga is a great place. Been all through that scrub.

I grow up in Coonabarabran, heard alot of story's about piliga forest.

Didnt believe them until i was stuck out there hunting with a mate

Has anyone seen the Pilliga princess

I deliberately drove Newell through pillaga at 3Am. Nothing to report however i was on full alert . Its when your not ready is when the phenomenon gets you.

I'm heading straight into that piligia scrub like a fly on shit....come at me bruh

I lived there my whole life creepy things happen a lot if people see her ghost a lot including my uncle that was a truck driver she appeared in the cab with him.thank you for sharing the story ❤

have you ever ever been out there mate?

I’ve camped out in the pilega pig hunting I’ve never been in a patch of scrub where I’ve felt like I’ve been watched the whole time spooky place

As horrific as the experiences on this thread are - and they are - what’s more so, is the blithe dismissal of punctuation and careless grammatical structure presented for all to read.

If it is a true story involving Australians then there would be friends informing on one another to the police & stealing from each other.

If I wasn't I'm south Australia I would camp there it be something I want to do

That place is fucked up was there late 80s x trucker never stay there even the local🎉

X truckers get it
