What happens when an Australian teacher builds a house in the wilderness — and finds out they weren’t alone? In this unforgettable episode, we travel to the Blue Mountains of New South Wales to meet Neil Frost, author of Fatfoot: Encounters with a Dooligahl. Neil's 50 years of research into Australia's three marsupial enigmas — the Quinkan, the Junjudee, and the Dooligahl — has led to chilling encounters, from guttural growls in scout camps to trees violently shaken in the moonlight. With engineering ingenuity, indigenous knowledge, and relentless curiosity, Neil and his neighbors formed a group called The Octopus to track the creatures roaming their bushland. You’ll hear about stolen baby clothes, eerie vocalizations, and the moment Neil realized something had been watching his children. From terrifying night thumps to an emotional goodbye with a familiar forest giant, this story reveals what happens when a family lives side-by-side with the unknown.
