 Haunted Hills Podcast on Patreon

Small towns big stories – with more on Patreon

Become a Patron!

On Patreon you’ll find an episode about the Gentlemanly Bushranger, is that an oxymoron or what? We discuss that. A coin counterfeiter, which feels like he kept copying himself over and over, did he ever get it right? Another is of a tragic architect, how does one fall from such an esteemed position to die as a footnote of his apprentice’s story? What brings a policeman, mailman and publican together in one episode? It’s murder. The Shady Creek Murder. I have also become obsessed with the small ghost of Yallourn, Victoria. It fuelled the majority of the power industry in Gippsland. There is an hour and a half on the bushfire and subsequent 1944 Royal Commission, with more episodes coming about the SEC and Yallourn. Top tier patrons will have access for free to all Haunted Hills content including digital tours.

Due to the current health crisis and stay at home requirements I have increased the number of content Patreons are receiving while keeping it free. The reason it is on Patreon is to help me maintain control over the content so I can monetise when people are in better times. However, I will return to my normal posting schedule as I will have returned to a normal social and time off schedule. For more information you can read:

Patreon Goals

When the Patreon reaches $2000.00

  • An extra bonus episode (Total 2 per month)
This means Patrons will have 4 episodes a month.

When the Patreon reaches $7500.00

This would allow me to work full time on the Podcast
  • Increase regular episode release to 4 per month
  • An additional bonus episode (3 in total)
This means 7 episodes for Patrons a month

When Patreon reaches $15,000 per month

Adding Radio Plays (one per month = total of 8 episodes per month)
While I enjoy telling the historical stories, there are some stories that have really touched my heart that want to share more of the stories in a fictionalised story style.
This amount would include other actors and more time in creating.
This would also allow for additions to the team to create more content – like artwork, music and better animation/moving videos as well.
An example is 4b Tragedy on the Banks of the Latrobe River these stories prior to commencing the podcast.

Coming up

Loading… Loading…
So far that’s as far ahead that I have researched as bonus episodes. However, as I research more I find more things that take my fancy and I share that with my patreons.
If you want to share a story with us, we’d be greatly appreciated. Or suggested story you’d like to see us cover.

Why is the podcast named Haunted Hills?

The Haunted Hills is a place where the hills rumble and cows won’t stay – it inspires us. The show is named after the Haunted Hills as is our first podcast. More stories of other small towns featuring their history, crime and paranormal are coming.
We’re turning Haunted Hills into a podcast. You can listen where ever you are, or if you have the nerve listen on location in a small town or ghost town. Podcasting gives us the ability to tell the stories of more small cities with big stories.

Haunted Hills Podcast on Patreon

When I ran crime tours of Yallourn North and Rosedale, tour participants played judge and jury. On Patreon you can be part of the show – you judge and sentence. Then on the podcast, I will divulge how the past dealt with the crimes. Patrons get the facts of the case to give their judgement, which will either be publicly shouted out or anonymously (your choice). Patrons can upload an audio file, or type the suggestion, and a faithful accounting will relay in the audio. There are already crimes to judge and sentence right now on Patreon.
As long as I have been doing tours, people have been sharing paranormal stories relating to big recent local stories and wishing I would cover them. I always said I’d never cover, but for patrons (in exclusive content tiers), on Patreon, I will go there.
In addition to signing up right now on Patreon:
  • You can fully participate in all the activities
  • Access all the podcasts released early and ad-free
