Into the scrub. Into the static. A film-in-progress, a field investigation unit, and the living archive of everything Australia doesn't want to talk about. Cryptids, hauntings, unsolved deaths, and the paranormal down under.
Welcome to Dark Are The Woods — the spiritual successor to Australian Mysteries and Creepy Australia. Here we delve off the usual beaten path to offer you a glimpse into the unknown Australia.
We trek for the Bribie Yowie, haunted pubs, Marsupial Panthers, and a various plethora of the paranormal down under. And all the while filming it for you. A cryptid-hunting road movie, a splintered documentary, and a synth-scarred love letter to the outback.
Haunting or monster problem? We investigate for free. Email creepyaustralia@gmail.com and we will get back to you.
The site is live. Field reports, cryptid investigations, paranormal encounters and the Cryptic Files interactive horror geography map — all building in 2026. We are out in the field and reporting back.
