The What Cast

Ghost stories seem to be a common pastime among kids at sleep-overs and camp-outs.  Telling spooky stories along with trying to scare each other with stupid dares seem to be a staple among kids from all generations.  Hell, adults have even been known to engage in such shenanigans. Today we are going to discuss the classic “game” Bloody Mary and discuss the traditions and background of the game, then talk about how it tends to vary by locale and generation.  We also look at a more modern game that pops up pretty frequently in creepy pasta spheres online, the Midnight Game, and the entity known as the Midnight Man. This one was a live show, so we will make references to things that popped up in chat throughout the episode.

We've often discussed the idea that paranormal entities may be feeding off of our emotional response to their presence. It seems pretty likely, doesn't it? The more a person gets scared or responds to the haunting/possession/whatever, the more activity ramps up. Recently, we discovered that the essence these things feed on has a name. That name is the Loosh. We're gonna talk about that.thanks for listening!www.TheWhatCast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

Well we at long last got to out 2nd episode of Dr. Karla Turner, legendary Alien Abduction researcher. This episode he breaks down the events from her first book, Into The Fringe. Mike read it and lets just say, he was not too happy about it. Is there more to Dr. Turners story than alien abduction? Come get shadow banned with us as we go over what she really uncovered...https://youtu.be/4Cbxhk2lhdc?si=k5wgsfsMObHWZU2Ehttps://open.spotify.com/show/6kKs4pmpW49q65lmn96D3aThanks for listening!www.TheWhatCast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

Guys! There's a new UFO documentary out!  Mike and Mateo watched it, it would be neat if you guys did, too! It's called The Alien Perspective.  After you wrap that up, come back here and give this episode a listen.  We kind of break it down and give our thoughts and opinions.  Later on, we do a deeper dive into one of the cases referenced in the documentary, the Amy Rylance abduction.thanks for listening!ADDS:This is a long one.

Over the past few years, it has seemed like we may be heading toward some sort of official disclosure. UAPs and the talk of alien bodies have moved away from the fringe to getting mainstream coverage.  Is it strange, then, that we are seeing history budget cuts to the FAA as well as budget cuts for National Parks Service?  Are these “Budget cuts” an attempt to cover-up possible evidence or witnesses to paranormal activity?  This week we discuss the Federal budget cuts and put on our Alex Jones masks to wildly speculate about the true purpose of these cuts.  We also get into discussion about the Bennington triangle disappearances, and Bigfoot is still a fairy ghost alien.thanks for listening!www.thewhatcasters.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

Ya know, its something we should have covered years ago. Luckily, Mike has gather a bunch of cool info on the phenomena of Black Hounds. Are they bringers of death? Are they protectors?

You ever go to one of those Sportsman shows were there are animal heads on the walls and all sorts of weird meat and jerky to sample?  What if there was a secret, deep underground convention for only the most extreme hunters and food connoisseurs?  The convention is filled with patrons with only the most sophisticated pallets, adventurous appetites, or sub-par IQs; those who are no longer satisfied with a meager burger, or average steak.  I'm referring to a very specific group of individuals. I'm referring to The Cryptid Eaters. This week we take a look at people that have allegedly dined on the flesh of the most mysterious beasts this world has to offer. Would you taste of the meat of the mighty Mokele Mbembe?  Are you brave enough to snake on the cooked leg of the dreaded J'ba Fofi?  In these circles, it's eat or be eaten.  Which side will you be on?thank you for listening!www.thewhatcast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatccast

In 1993, a group of paranormal researchers set out to conduct a 5 year experiment to find definitive, reproducible evidence of life after death.They did. But they didn't make contact with ghosts alone……www.thewhatcast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcasthttps://youtu.be/oqNgM6oZdgI?si=DfA-SMwLjpxguTPP

This week we dug into the bag of old Blue Book cases and dug out an oldie but a goodie.  With some of the more outlandish drone reports that have been coming out of New Jersey, we noticed that there were some similarities to things that happened in Levelland, Texas in 1957.  Is it possible that the Levelland events were a test run for what we are seeing in NJ?  Who, or WHAT is behind this nonsense?thanks for listening!www.thewhtacast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

By this point, unless you're living under a rock, you should be aware of the drone situation in New Jersey.  A fleet of unidentified aerial vehicles have been reported in the skies over New Jersey for weeks, and it seems that now there are similar reports popping up in various areas all over the country.Just what the Hell is going on?  Is it a foreign adversary? US Military operations? Aliens? Hollow Earth Deros?  This week, Mike and Mateo made their first attempt at recording a show with a live audience commenting and asking questions. thanks for listening!www.thewhatcast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

You know how in most cop movies, there are always 2 partners that go out an get involved in shenanigans, and solve crimes?  What if that sort of thing happened in paranormal investigations?  Maybe instead of 2 humans, you get 1 human and his spirit partner.  Well, folks, apparently that is an actuality. For those that missed it, Netflix has been running new episodes of Unsolved Mysteries for 5 seasons now.  The latest was just released a few weeks ago, and one of the episodes centers on a gentleman named Dom and his spirit partner “Becky”.  We decided to focus on this episode, in particular, and discuss the tests that Dom had to undergo to prove that “Becky” was real, and whether or not “Becky” is what she claims to be. www.patreon.com/thewhatcastfor add free episodes, monthly hang outs, art prints and The Sticker Club!www.thewhatcast.comthank you for listening!

We've been at this thing for over 11 years.  Absolutely bonkers, isn't it?  We've come a long way in that time, both from a quality standpoint, as well as the evolution of our beliefs in the paranormal.  Today, we decided to take a look back on where we started and have a little chat about how our beliefs have changed over the years, and what markers lead us down that road.thanks for listening!www.thewhatcast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

We dare you not to piss your pants in rage!thank you for listening!Be safe!

This mothman guy…He just won't go away, and apparently has a penchant for travel. We've talked about the OG Mothman so many times, but we've also discussed the more recent Lake Michigan mothman sightings.  Is this the same creature?  How did Mothman travel from West Virginia to Chicago and is it a shapeshifter? This week we take a look at the last episode of the latest season of Unsolved Mysteries and discuss the Chicago Mothman, as well as other flying humanoid sightings. Seriously though, is Mothman a shapeshifter?  I NEED TO KNOW!www.thewhatcast.compatreon.com/thewhatcast

Hey there guys.  Last week was a pretty eventful week for the Dastardly Duo.  Mateo was able to hit up a comic book convention in his neck of the woods.  Meanwhile…across the continent, Mike was attending a Sci-Fi Horror convention.  Lots of doings a-transpirin'! Since we both had great experiences, we though we'd share them with you in our double length convention extravaganza!  Don't worry, we'll get back to the weird stories about ass goblins and moon fairies next week.thanks for listening!!!Sorry for all the adds.

The 60's were a wild time, or so I've heard.  In addition to the obvious hippie/Vietnam stuff, we also get some of the best alien encounter stories.  This week we discussed a pair of encounters from 1967 involving strange beings that were small in stature, but not your classic grays or “little green men”. thanks for listening!www.patreon.com/thewhatcastwww.thewhatcast.com

Hey.  You guys ever heard of a little band called R.E.M.?  They had a song that came out in the 90's called What's the Frequency Kenneth.  Not many people know the story behind the song's title and even fewer are aware of the strange turn this story took after the song was recorded. Kenneth, what is the frequency?www.thewhatcasters.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

Goblins seem to be popping up all over the place.  It's like Middle Earth in the modern world!  In parts of Zimbabwe, it seems that the little green bastards are getting particularly bold in their attacks.  We have recent stories of schools and a police station getting shut down due to goblin infestations. After doing a bit of digging, it seems that this is nothing new.  Is Zimbabwe actually Mordor?!  Should we start worrying about a dark tower and  flaming eye?thanks for listening!www.thewhatcast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

For any long-time fans of Unsolved Mysteries, you're likely familiar with the Allagash Abduction case.  It's a classic case that we haven't covered yet, so we wanted to delve into it a bit.  While the original presentation by Unsolved Mysteries was pretty compelling, it seems there have been some red flags raised in the years since.  What do you think? Is this an authentic recollection of a genuine alien abduction, or was this merely the dilussions of a traumatized brain, bolstered by poor hypnosis?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM2DFl1FJpswww.thewhatcasters.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

You guys have heard of the Abominable Snowman, right?  The legendary Yeti of the Himalaya's.  The Bumble that bounces (Bumbles always bounce!). What if I told you that there is an underwater Abominable Snowman, but it has nothing to do with snow or they Yeti?  To be completely honest, there is absolutely nothing about this underwater cryptid that even resembles the lovable bumble.  Why was it even called an aquatic Abominable Snowman anydamnway?!  Mateo offers a possible explanation, but I don't know if Mike is buying it.https://www.kronosrising.com/carnival-cruise-monster-super-predator/

As promised, we've returned for the 2nd episode this week!  A day or 2 after we recorded the previous episode, information started to come out regarding a declassified proposal for another Government UAP program called Kona Blue.  There was a lot of things that overlapped with our previous episode, so we decided to get right back on the What Cast horse and talk about it. So this is us discussing Kona Blue, Government projects, and veering off into other digressions. Thanks for checking us out!

Yes, after almost a century, we've finally returned!  Not only that, but we're gonna put out 2 episodes this week! For the first of this 2-episode extravaganza, we begin with a nice looooooooooong detour discussing comic books.  I promise you, this is NOT a comic book episode.  We get into the weird shit, but it's been a while.  We had to take a minute (or 86) and nerd out.  Once we get that out of our systems, Mike gets into some recent UFO sightings, a strange ocean anomaly, and the testimony from an anonymous whistleblower talking about what he learned during his time on a UFO crash retrieval team. The second part will be the second part and I'll tell you about that when we get there.  Simmer down and enjoy the ride, we've got a lot to discuss!Alien Ocean Particles:https://youtu.be/VNHU-fsABJM?si=o1UVfKIypLrYwhTPMikes going on vacation:https://suno.com/song/81b35793-155a-4526-9310-9fa2e220a630

It's well documented that we love wizards on this show.  We also have a great fondness for goblins.  It's time we combine these two loves and get down to talking about the Wizard of Yester and the Goblin Hall? Was the Yester Castle the Scottish equivalent to Solomon's Temple?  Was powerful magic used to force demonic entities to build a fortress for their master?  Is there an army of ghostly goblins that still haunt the chamber under the ruins of the old Castle?Yes.Yes. Probably.Thanks for listening! We know we are draggin ass. Lots of doc appointments. Results were worse than we thought. We will right as rain soon.

Alien cover-ups are common place in our area of interest. Many conspiracy theories are based off of this assumption. What if this sort of cover-up is not just limited to aliens and UFOs? What if the government is actively covering up violent attacks perpetrated by a group of bloodthirsty monsters? This week we take a look at a few cases involving fatal attacks by an unknown animal or animals…or perhaps these unfortunate souls met their end at the clawed hands of a dogman!Thanks for listening!!www.thewhatcasters.com

Hey folks!This week we ponder the possibility of a real life seam monster attack. Sure, a lot of sea monster encounters ARE considered attacks but in actuality, some people got a good scare.We are talking an actual attack.Were people died.5 go in the water and one comes out.Could this be real? Did someone kill their friends at sea?You be the judge.www.thewhatcast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcastwww.ko-fi.com/thewhatcast

Remember that movie The Blob? The one with the alien blob monster that absorbs and eats people, growing larger after every meal? Sure it might seem schlocky by today's standards, but at the core, it is a genuinely terrifying idea. With that in mind, this week we take a look at a few different sightings of gargantuan underwater blobs that display some rather odd behavior and abilities. Are these giant jellyfish? Shoggoths? Alien blob monsters? Or maybe just made up sea stories. Mariners are known for the penchant for embellishment, afterall.https://www.TheWhatCast.comhttps://www.patreon.com/TheWhatCasthttps://www.TheWhatCast.comhttps://www.ko-fi.com/thewhatcast

In the past, we've talked at length about the Men in Black and the scare tactics they employ in order to silence UFO witnesses. This week, we decided to take a look at one of the more bizarre cases of MIB contact. Was John Stuart getting so close to the truth in his research on UFOs that the Men in Black had to silence him? Or, maybe he was a man so overcome with guilt that he had a mental breakdown resulting in an imagined reality.thanks for listening!www.TheWhatCast.compatreon.com/thewhatcastwww.ko-fi.com/thewhatcastThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5449426/advertisement

No one likes public transport…Well almost no one. There is that weird creepy guy that leers at passengers from the back of the bus. I wonder what he is always fiddling around with in his pocket. He seems to be having a good time, must be some sort of fidget toy or something. I digress… MOST people do not enjoy public transportation, but you know what? I could always be worse! This week we take a look at some weirdness that was witnessed/experienced on various forms of public transportation. We talk about the recent bigfoot footage that was filmed from a train, haunted subway lines, a strange occurrence on a boat, and a bus detour that leads to spooky cult activity.
