In the heart of Australia, Uluru stands tall and proud. Many have to boast that they've seen the landmark in its full glory, and they cherish those memories. However, one mistake can cost them their happiness. While some of us innocently take memorabilia back with us after a holiday, it's probably a terrible idea to when you go to Uluru.

In this episode, Elle yarns about two mysteries involving the Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park. The first involves a massive geoglyph that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, and is reminiscent of the Nazca Lines in Peru.

For this yarn, Elle takes us to Humpty Doo, a small, humble town in the Northern Territory. Back in 1998, a chilling encounter with an unknown force scared the living daylights out of five housemates and a baby. Although they documented what they experienced and the news spread all throughout Australia, the nation all saw them as mere liars, thanks to the manipulative media. But only the residents of the horror house, as well as the visitors that stepped foot in it knew they weren't telling fibs...

During the gold rushes of the 19th century, another kind of rush was going on too. Ghosts appeared frequently out of seemingly nowhere. But just like in an old episode of Scooby-Doo, they were mere phonies. Why was there an influx of fake ghosts during this point in history?
