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.

I live in Sweden and me and my cousin found a really weird creature once few years ago, just outside my cousins house. I don’t expect anyone to believe me (my father didn’t and he has been the only one I have told about it) but I’ll tell about it anyway.
Me and my cousin was outside his house a sunny day and I looked at him while he was playing with his dog when I suddenly notice some weird, white, whip cream-looking mess at the first stair step to his house. It was not well hidden but it was not something to notice that easily either and this mess was about as large as a fist. I walked towards it to take a closer look and saw that the grass that had been in contact with it had died, as if it was poison or something. I took a stick and poked away carefully this mess to see if I could find out what exactly it was when I saw a really creepy thing in there that looked like a thin peace of pink flesh that was a little bigger than a thumb and had almost the same shape as a snail, but was almost flat, without eyes, mouth, legs or nose or whatever that could have made it look like a living creature.
I thought at first that it was some kind of flesh witch had somehow got there in some way (I didn’t know really) but when I carefully poked it with the stick it moved a little. I got really scared since I know a lot about animals but have never seen anything like this before and I called for my cousin to come and take a look. He asked what the hell that was and I said that I didn’t know but it was something living and poked it again with the stick and it started to move again. Slowly both of us started to freak out and my cousin called my brother since he knows pretty much about abnormal things. He had never heard of something like that before and said that we should capture it in something and freeze it down so he could take a look at it. My cousin ran into the house to find something to keep it in while I kept an eye at it. It started to rain a little but it was still light outside and finally he came out with a half cola-can (or whatever you say in english) and succeeded to get in that creature in it.
We looked a little at the almost slimy-looking thing in there as the rain fell down and got truly surprised that whenever a raindrop dropped on it, it started jumping! No shit it started to jump! We heard, saw and felt how it was jumping in there and I don’t really remember but I think it stopped jumping whenever we got inside. My cousin took some plast and covered the half cola and laid it in the freeze.
A week after, when I wasn’t there, my brother visit my cousin and took a look at it. Its flesh-pink uuh “skin” (I don’t know if it was skin but I don’t believe so), had turned into blue. My brother said that it definitive was a spineless creature, but again, he had never seen anything like it before just like the rest of us.
Sorry this was a very long story but I just wanted to have a chance to tell it. I don’t think I will dare to do it again I don’t want to get locked in like poor Bongo but I’m not as frighted, I just cant believe I have seen all this its like a chock in some way. Really strange things is going on in- and outside my cousins house both he and I have heard, felt and seen creepy stuff there.

I drove through the Pilliga a couple of weeks ago, in daylight, and the forest looked great. I’ve been through the Pilliga many times over decades, and it’s always ultra-scarey at night. This stretch tends to have more stories of phenomena that any other stretch along the entire highway.

It’s easy (and lazy) to dismiss Bongo’s story for whatever preferred alternative. But, he is not alone! Many other drivers have had a frightening encounter with something inexplicable along the same stretch. I hope I never get stuck in the Pilliga at night. Bongo saw something that genuinely unhinged his grip on reality. It’s the first I’ve heard someone say they were taken by something!

Bongo has been in care ever since the event. Some of you think that means he was nuts before he started driving. Some think its due to what he experienced on that trip. Isn’t it fickle that we can’t tell the difference? So I reckon it’s a good starting point to presume a person is telling the truth, then find the facts to support that, if possilbe.

The Pillaga is being explored to mine coal-seam gas – methane. Maybe the Min-Min lights have been balls of methane igniting under certain freak conditions? Violent shaking of cars/trucks could be due to freak weather events, such as willy-willy’s (dust-devils, dry tornados), with atmospheric instability; or possibly minor seismic events.

As for the rest of Bongo’s story, remember this was back in 1978, perhaps he was taken when he went to pee, was drugged and escaped back to his truck? Outlandish altered perceptions are common with drugged victims in shock. Intuitively, I feel Bongo is telling us the truth as he remembers it. Are there any unsolved missing persons in the region? Could the Pilliga have been a hideout for someone, with reason to scare people away?
