In the vast, unforgiving landscape of outback Australia, strange lights have been appearing for over a century, hovering, following, and vanishing without a trace.
In this episode, we head deep into the red desert to explore the legend of the Min Min lights.
You'll hear accounts from those who’ve encountered them, stories passed down through generations, and theories that range from the scientific to the supernatural. Are they a trick of the light, a product of isolation, or something far more mysterious?
Join us as we follow the glow and ask: what really haunts the outback after dark?
