A childhood experience that has always bothered me.

[Kezza]

Ok I had a frightening experience one night when I was 6 years old sleeping over at my then friends house when I lived in Sydney. The reason I'm sharing it here because reading into others experiences I wonder if it was a Yowie.

My friend and I use to live near the Ku-Ring Gai chase national park more so my friend because where her house was was at the end of the road where there was a lot of bushland. Ok to my experience I was sleeping over my friends house in her bedroom it was the pitch black of night. I was suddenly awoken to a sound I have never heard before nor since, it was a squealing noise outside her bedroom window. I opened my eyes and turned around to face the window, I got the biggest frieght, I swear I could see a very large dark figure standing at the window it had eyes that shined red. Whatever it was it had to be tall because the window was fairly high up the wall. I just shut my eyes and try to go sleep again but I couldn't I kept peeking to see if it was still there, it seemed to be there for all eternity.

Daylight came the figure gone my friend and I woke up, I asked my friend if she heard the noise I heard. She said yes and said he was some sort of man who visited her home sometimes from the bush and he would often stare into window. Well this had me confused there and then and I still wonder what it was today 31 years later.

This is the first time I have shared this.

Thats a very creepy story. Certainly sounds like something odd. Whatever or who it was shouldnt be looking in little girls windows. I hope she told her parents!

This kind of report seems to be quite common in sightings - maybe its the attraction of children and the safety of looking thru a window in their own environment - who knows.

Whereabouts was your friends house? I am assuming its the blue mountains/central coast or near the RNP?

North Narrabean area like myself at the time. This was about 30 years ago and I remember a fair bit of bushland in some areas at the time of living there.

I've heard the same thing many times Kezza , it would be interesting to see just how many reports contain this type of encounter .

If someone was to go through every report and categorise them I'd bet there would be some very interesting statistics and percentages regarding types of encounters , especially ones involving children .

At the time I never thought Yowie but it's something that I still wonder did I imagine it or not. But given my friend's attitude it was to, but it didn't seem human to me.

There was other weird things going on there too, like a bad smell of Sulphur which couldn't be explained by the council who investigated.

A bad smell that no one could find the cause of it. I also vaguely remember a girl who lived opposite her house use to talk of strange happens at her house like clothing going missing.

I don't know if it was a yowie or an over active imagination as kids do, but like I have stated reading on other reports I do wonder.

Childrens clothes going missing is something Neil Frost mentioned . I think he had found baby clothes in the bush which turned out had been taken from a neighbours clothesline. An aboriginal elder later told him yowies are known to do this. I cant remember the reasoning behind it .

OMG! Just looking at the Indigenous ghost story page on FACEBOOK that TheBlackStump shared in another thread. There is a story and a description very similar to mine. Hairy man/Quinkin mentioned as also it being a spirit of the land letting a person know it had been naughty in some way to the land or the people its connected to.
