It would be interesting to see an artist rendering of your interpretation of this creature that Bongo encountered. This story is very captivating, I had to listen to it twice. The first time I thought it was actually “Shape’s” voice describing what had happened, so immediately I assumed this was fabricated by you. But after giving it a second go and reading the comments and even visiting the radio’s site, its evident to me that Bongo is a real person with a real fear that shook him to his core. Can’t say I’ve ever had a similar experience, nor would I want to.

We’ve been camping in the Pilliga every year for the last 4 years. Just got back from a week out there. Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything odd. You can get a little spooked at night when you walk off from camp to answer the call of nature, but that’s to be expected with all the rumours and stories.We’ve driven around IN the pilliga at night heaps of times. Nothing to see here as far as I’m concerned. Just a nice part of the Aussie bush.
As for Bongo, good actor prank calling after a few beers, the “asylum” he speaks of doesn’t exist.

The bongo guy had never heard of the Pilliga so there is no reason for him to believe there was anything strange about the place.

Really…a faun…you think you saw a faun…are you sure you didn’t just conviently make this up after seeing that movie. I’m sorry if that’s rude but i find that just a bit out there. The indian ghosts however do sound more possible.

Personally i think that with all the fear surrounding the pilliga it’s understandable how someone might think something like happened to them, i’m not saying that Bongo’s story is fake just that the human mind is powerful and can cause us to have hallucinations when fear is introduced, perhaps he was attacked by an animal and thought it was something else.

What ever happened to that Min-min lights story you intended to add?

Hey I got an interesting story as well but I have actually been forced by friends to never tell another person because of what the repercussions could be.
