The What Cast (Paranormal)

Have you guys every heard of the Mothman, thing?  Yeah, the one from the movie.  No. No, Richard Greer is not the Mothman.  Do you even pay attention to things?  Listen, you’ve got a lot to learn about-

 

You know what?  Forget it.  I’m not your mom.  I’m not here to harp on you about your attention to detail.  I’m here to tell you about this week’s show.

 

Coming at you this week:  The Mothman may have left Point Pleasant, but is it still around?  In 2017 reports began coming in regarding a series of Mothman sightings in Chicago.  Researcher Tobias Wayland began looking into these sightings and was able to uncover a massive amount of cases in Illinois that predates the 2017 sightings.  We have compiled the best reports and are now bringing them to your ear holes.

WIZARDS! *Queue lightning* MAD SCIENTISTS! *maniacal cackling* POLTERGEISTS! *Audible gasp*

 

This week on The What Cast we take a look at a couple interesting individuals from history.  Both considered to be wizards or sorcerers by the general public, but this was likely not the case.  Listen, just because one guy can control lightning and create new species of insects, and the other guy can stretch himself like Mr. Fantastic and make furniture dance, that doesn’t mean they are freakin’ wizards.  I mean…I can’t do that sort of stuff, but I also can’t slam dunk and last I checked Michael Jordan wasn’t a wizard…or was he?

 

I’m all confused now and my world view is quickly shifting.  I’m lost guys.  Alright, move on.  Look over there, WIZARDS!

In the past, we’ve discussed the fearsome creatures of the American Lumberwoods.  If these sorts of critters were being discussed around campfires in the early days of The United States, just imagine the similar creatures that were being discussed around ancient campfires across the world!

 

Today, we here at the What Cast, delve into the myths and legends surround the fearsome creatures of the ancient lumberwoods.  Hold on to your lederhosen!

With UFO disclosure now part of our everyday background, a recent article detailing paranormal activity and UFO sightings by an airman stationed at a nuclear weapons facility is the latest tid-bit of info.

 
This made us sit back and think about some past cases we previously discussed. This episode, we revisit the sightings and general weirdness at the bases that house America's nuclear arsenal.

In the past, we’ve discussed many different varieties of hauntings and spooky entities.  By now, we are all familiar with ghosts, and shadow people, but this week we take a look at an all new breed of haunters – phantom hands.

 

For this episode we look at a wide range of ghostly hand encounters.  Everything from hands appearing from narrow gaps, to floating creepy hands, and hairy, murderous hands.

Time to get back to the weird stuff. 

Time to get back to The What Cast!

We hope all is well! We hope you got cool goodies! 

Let's start this year out right with some Skellitoids!

Now there wasn't much on them, sadly, but there were a couple cool ones we go over. Possible explanations and foul cost of wizard protection.

Nothing says Christmas quite like a creepy Ouija board story, nomsayin?

 
This week we discuss the curious case of Pearl Curran / Patience Worth.  The story goes that Patience Worth contacted Pearl through a Ouija board session and through her wrote several books and poems.
 
Was this a case of a symbiotic spirit possession, or just delusions of an over-imaginative person?
 
Have a great Holiday!

That's right! on with the weird stuff.

This week, we are going to take a look at 2 encounters with inhumanoids both had by the same person.

The first she called a vampire but after hearing what this thing looked like, you, like us, may have other ideas of what it could have been.

The second encounter left no question. 

After that, Mike keeps us in the loop with all the UFO/UAP stuff. There has been a gathering held by some of the most powerful people on the world. 

Get ready for space war!

We’ve covered our fair share of abduction experiences over the years.  Everything from hideous reptoids, to gray aliens with the body of a human woman has been reported as being responsible for these late night visitations.  We have also covered the theory that there may be a human presence behind the abduction mysteries. 

 

Today, we delve into an interesting case that may fit into both categories.  We have a case in which the members of an abduction support group, lead by a former CIA officer, were all abducted on the same night.

 

Just what happened that fateful evening?  Were these poor souls victims of repeated torment by aliens, or where they unwilling participants to some sort of Government mind-control experiments?

Most of us have likely been to a local fair or carnival and viewed the “freaks” and oddities on display.  Most of these are very obvious fakes, but occasionally you come across one that really makes your mind wander and thing “What if this was real?”

 

Today, we decided to tackle some of the most famous of the fake critters out there.  Strap in while we discuss the Fiji mermaid and Dave Coulier-erm, I meant the jackalope.  Please forgive that slip.  Seriously.  Cut. It. Out.

Well first off, put down that pipe.  Secondly, me too.  Thirdly…I’ve lost the point I was trying to make.

 

Anyway.

 

This episode is about a special breed of interdimensional, talking, child-stealing bear.  I really don’t think more needs to be said about it.  You know you want to listen and find out more about the bear thing.  Just do it, man.  Hit that play button.

The name “Mothman” instantly brings to mind the town of Point Pleasant, John Keel, and to many, Richard Greer.  The most famous events involving the Mothman are forever linked to the events in Point Pleasant, WV.  For many, the story died with the collapse of the Silver Bridge.

 

What if that wasn’t the end?

 

Recently, there have been a number of Mothman sightings around the area of the O’Hare airport in Chicago.  Not only had the Mothman been lurking around the area, but the airport seems to have become a hotspot for all manner of anomalous activity, including UFOs, and even Greys reported on the ground.

 

Join us and we delve into the weirdness surrounding this famous international airport.

In modern times, the image of the dragon is reserved for big budget movies and art on the covers of fantasy novels.  In times past, however, things were much different.

This week we dive into some of the legendary tales from the past that depict dragons and their interactions with humans.  Sometimes we get cautionary tales, others times we get stories of a bad ass warrior who is sent to save the land from a marauding fire breathing beast.

Join us, as we discuss mythical tales from times past, and the dragons who haunt them.

You guys surely must remember Percy Fawcett, the bad ass explorer that mapped parts of South America, and reported back on monstrous animals and an alleged city of gold. 

 

In a similar vein, we are going to cover a story that was reported by famed adventurer and big game hunter Edgar Beecher Bronson.  Mr. Bronson related a tale told to him by his fellow hunter, John Alfred Jordan, about an unknown reptilian creature that lurks along the Maggori River in Africa.  According to Jordan, he witnessed the best, known as the dingonek, when out on an expedition.

We have heard lots of tales coming out of the more remote areas of Africa that involve impossible creatures, monsters from another time.  Is the dingonek among these famed beasts or this just a case of Africa’s version of Creatures from the Lumberwoods?

By now, I’d imagine everyone is familiar with the reptilian conspiracy.  You know the one.  Reptilian aliens are living amongst us, disguised as politicians and other people that wield great power and influence in order to subjugate the human race and eat our babies.  This episode isn’t exactly about that, but it also kind of is.

 

You see, fair listener, this week we reviewed a documentary that was claiming that the cases of reptilian “showing” themselves in public (wardrobe malfunctions) are not actually an error occurring with the costume, it’s the fact that these people have been possessed by an evil entity.  In this scenario, the reptoids are similar to demons or djinn, and they will enter the body of a host and possess it.  When we see the shape shifting, this is the entity showing itself.

 

So, just what is going on here and will Crystal butt plugs protect you?

Everyone loves a good phantom menace, roaming the streets of Victorian London.  We’re all familiar with The Spring Heeled Jack, and Jack the Ripper (no relation), and who could forget SPANKO?!

 

Tonight, we have a story that predates these fearsome brutes.  Tonight we present to you the tale of the Hammersmith ghost.  This tale is not so much about the ghost itself, but the murder trial that followed.

 

In the second half of the show, we present the creepy and sad story of Sam, the Sandown Ghost Clown.  He wasn’t a ghost, or a clown.  Weird, I know.

In the past, we have covered a couple cases where a bigfoot or a group of Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) act out violently, and in some cases, murderously.

 

When we heard about the documentary series Sasquatch, that investigates the story of a particularly ornery Bigfoot that kills three cannabis farmers in Northern California, we jumped on it.  We could not wait to go on that ride! 

 

So this week, we are going to be covering this series.  We will start with a general discussion, but we get VERY deep into spoiler territory, so do keep that in mind.

 

Just what happened to these unfortunate souls?  Was it THE Bigfoot, just some dude named Bigfoot, or maybe the monster truck named Bigfoot?  Did the murder even happen?  What’s with these rhetorical questions anydamnway?

Ya know what?!  I’m just trying to tell you guys what this episode is about, but you’re making it really difficult!  Quite frankly, I don’t appreciate it.

 

Since you apparently want to interject, I will just straight to the point.  This week we discuss the elephant people and maybe they are related to the Bunyip, or maybe they are just similar.  Who knows, I’m certainly not their biographer.  Not that you’d care about that, anydamnway…

 

Also, another UFO update.  Lots of those happening lately.

For decades, researchers have been seeking proof that the UFO phenomenon was real.  For the longest time, they had to suffer through grainy, blurry photos; listen to a wide range of eye-witness accounts, with varying degrees of believability; and constant Government cover-ups.

Then we got the tic-tac video, and things started to change.  First, the footage was released, then the pilots were interviewed, and FINALLY the US Navy admitted that this footage was real, and unexplained.

Now, in 2021, we get more declassified documentation that pilots in the Navy are still having run-ins with these things and documenting their encounters.

 

How much longer do we have to wait until the aliens show up for dinner?!

Hey there, Fancy Pants.

 
It's been a while since we did anything with weird animals on the show, so we decided this week to discuss phantom animals.  Now these aren't ghost animals, these are more out of place animals...but maybe also cryptids.
 
For instance, one of the things we cover this week is phantom, or out of place, kangaroos.  Sounds pretty straight forward, right?  Escaped kangaroos, running amok across the hillside...
 
What if I told you they aren't kangaroos but actually DEVIL MONKEYS?!  What do you have to say now, Big Mouth?  Huh?

The show came full circle and Mike declared that the show (as you know it) is over and in its place, a haunted cooking show was proposed. 

 

After taking a couple weeks off to prepare for this momentous new direction, we gathered together to do a little cooking and cast some whats around.  Unfortunately, as is the way of The What Cast, things didn’t go as planned.

This is it you guys. We have come full circle. We started with the show with strange deaths in the Russian mountains, and here we are, 8 years later talking about a different case of mysterious deaths in the Russian mountains. 

 
The 2 cases are very similar, yet separated by several decades. So today we speculate about the events that caused the deaths of 6 hikers, leaving only a single survivor.
 
We hope you enjoy the final episode of the What Cast. Join us next week when we start to Cast some What's.

Planet X is back, baybay!  WOOOOO!

 

Ok, so it’s not the fabled Planet X that everyone over the age of 30 grew up on.  That being said, there is new evidence to suggest that there might be some massive planet, lurking somewhere in the outer rim of our star system, slowly creeping back toward the Sun and past Earth, where it will deploy the Annunaki to come back and enslave us all over again.

Throughout history, mankind has tried to harvest the power of magic. It has been used to decide the fates of wars, tell the future, find love. From rituals to sacrifice, we as a species have done every horrible thing imaginable just for a chance to wield such power. A power passed down through the ages in the form of instruction. As books.

Thank goodness all that stuff was lost to time. 

Or was it?

This week we cover cursed books and books of dark magic. 

What's freakier than a 600 year old book on how to summon demons?

Today, we look into the Abduction at Buff Ledge.  This is one of the earlier abduction cases, but it ticks all of the boxes that we have come to associate with the abduction phenomenon.  While there are sceptics that claim this was a fabricated story, there was a significant amount of research that went into the case, as well as assessing the mental fortitude of the victims.  As a way to support the claims of these unfortunate individuals, there were independent witnesses who also claimed to have seen strange lights over the water of Lake Champlain on that fateful night.

 

Was this a real case of alien abduction?  Were the memories that were uncovered part of a screen memory to hide what REALLY happened?  Perhaps 2 bored adults just decided, on a whim, to concoct an alien abduction story, 10 years after the fact, with no chance of profit or gain.  Yeah.  That last one seems legit.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/Christmas/Whatever.

Welcome back to another episode, we thank you ever so much for listening.  You’re all good eggs in our book.  This week we take a gander at Brad Steiger’s book The Awful Thing in the Attic.  This book kind of documents some of the cases that Mr. Steiger has researched over the years.  We discuss a few of the cases documented in his book, such as the bleeding wall murder house, the sucking jelly bags, and the Horrible Hag of Detroit.  If this suits your fancy, go grab a copy!

Guys. Guys. GUYS! I know! We are late.  We left you hanging for 2 weeks with no show.  We didn’t write, we didn’t call.  What a couple of jerks.  We know!  But, come on, guys.  It was the holiday season! The end of the year!  It was an exhausting year, too.  You know! You were there, too! And you…and you…and…YOU! Plus, we got an email from Dave, witch means you know your messing up.

All that is over and we decided, since we left you all hanging, that we would put out a show early this week.  For the first show of the new year, we decided to tell you about some Brother-Cousins of the Mothman.  This week we take a look at West Virginia’s own Devil Dog (AKA The What Thing. AKA Sheepsquatch)  and the Grafton Monster.  Both of these guys have been spotted in the areas around Point Pleasant.  Some sightings have even occurred around the infamous  TNT plant where the Mothman was said to dwell.

Just what is going on in West Virginia, anydamnway?!

It’s all part of ETTBO’s plan.

In ancient times, three generations of Egyptian pharaohs wrote about an ancient group of people that are referred to simply as “Sea Peoples” that regularly plagued the Egyptians with raids and attacks.  Some historians speculate that this mysterious group of sea raiders may have been responsible for the decline in the Egyptian civilization, as well the Bronze age collapse.

Who were these mysterious people?  Were they a wandering band of pirates or mercenaries?  Warmongering Atlanteans?  Magical giants from a far off land?  One thing we can say, with relative certainty, they were not Lovecraftian fish men.

This week, we run down the theories and discuss the mysterious SEA PEOPLES!

You may have heard about the documentary that is being dubbed as “one of the most important documentaries of the year”.  Well, this week, we decided to discuss Phenomenon, the documentary that aims to open up the discussion of the reality of UFOs. 

In sticking with that theme, we also review some recent UFO sightings videos and give our thoughts.

We are living in crazy times, and we hope that everyone is able to retain some form of sanity and weather the shit storm.  In order for us to stay a bit grounded, we decided to go back to the old days and talk about our past.  We discussed how our interest in the paranormal started and some of our earliest experiences from our childhoods.

Was a young Mike probed by aliens?  Did Mateo REALLY take a ghost to the prom?  The answers, and more, remain unanswered, but we hope you listen anydamnway.

For centuries, vampires and werewolves have been sworn enemies, fighting a secret war beneath the night sky.

 
This week, while not exactly talking about a war between vampires and werewolves, we decided to discuss a case of a murderous man, that claimed to have turned into a wolf, and there is some evidence to back up his claim. We also discuss the case for vampires in Seattle and the possibility that black eyed kids may actually be vampires.

You ever wonder why it is that it’s typically people that have strong religious fate that wind up the victims of demonic possession?  Is it that the Devil, himself, is trying to punish the faithful?  Maybe, it’s that these people have a form of schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder, and it’s their faith that creates provides the paint for their disturbed canvas.

 

This week we delve into a few, seemingly holy, people that displayed symptoms of demonic possession.

If you were to hear the term Devil’s Hole with no context, what would be your first thought?  Would you rush to Urban Dictionary to find out what sort of ungodly sex act it was?  Maybe you’d be flooded with visions of a taco night gone awry.  Maybe you’d just think it’s another name for Hell.

 

Well friends, all of those instances, you’d be wrong.  You see, the Devil’s hole is a name for cave near Niagara Falls, NY that holds an evil spirit that is known for cursing European explorers.  While researching this particular Devil’s Hole, we found that there is another place in the Western United States that is potentially the home of a subterranean race of humanoids.

 

Fart jokes and mysterious abound, this week, on The What Cast.

We are back at it again, folks.  We are here to discuss another curse!  We know that everyone loves a good curse story, and when you can involve a tale of lost love and combine it with a vengeful murder ghost, it gets even better.

This week, we look into the Curse of Lake Ronkonkoma.  What causes these drownings?  Is it bad luck? Chance? The ghost of a sad native girl seeking her lost love? If it’s the ghost option, then what’s up with the weirdness described in old Native legends in the area that seem to predate the story of Princess Ronkonkoma?

No matter what the cause, The What Cast will be hosting a post-COVID beach party on the shore of Lake Ronkonkoma.  Floatation devices will be optional!

Basically, this episode is about the occasions when exorcisms and demonic possessions turn deadly.  As if having a stupid demon sharing the space of your brain and trying to eat your soul was bad enough, now you have to worry about crazy, over-zealous religious fanatics starving you to death or chopping you and your family up into little pieces.

 

Let’s be real, death should never be the punishment in these cases.  Sometimes a good dose of mental help would go a long way in clearing this up.

 

So…if you or someone you love is possessed by a demon thing, try not to kill them, k?

When you think of the term soothsayer you likely imagine a crusty old bearded guy warning Julius Ceasar to beware the Ides of March.  Either that or you wonder to yourself what the Hell a Soothsayer is.  Whether you want to call them a fortune teller, a seer, a psychic, these guys are known for foretelling future events.  This week we take a look at the Grand Daddy of them all, Nostradamus.  Nostradamus is known for predicting many future events using vague and poetic language.  Some of these prophesies are hoaxes, spread around the internet, others could be misinterpretations.  Maybe some are legit.  Look, man.  I don’t claim to know the answers to the future, that’s above my pay grade. 

Anyway, this episode, Mateo goes over a bunch of poems that point to the future apocalypse and Mike tries to convince him that Nostradamus was just writing biblical fan fiction.

After a week off, we really wanted to come out swinging.  We wanted something weird, something scary, something that would be interesting to our dear listeners.  I think we found it!

 

This week we take a look at the story of the Union Scream House.  This house, and the events that have gone on seem to have a bit of Amityville flair with an added helping of demonic possession, just for kicks.  The Union Scream House seems to be a place where the walls between our world and the unknown are breaking down, allowing entities from beyond to enter into our world and terrify families of those who enter the seemingly innocent home. 

 

As we all know, these places are not areas to mess around with.  Let’s settle in and find out what happened, shall we?

Alright guys.  It’s Halloween, which means it’s time for The What Cast annual Spooky-Scare-a-thon-a-palooza.  This year, Mike has decided he is going to try and summon the demon Stolas to help aid his favorite Time Lord (and yours!), Evil Time Traveling Barack Obama.  Mateo, be rightfully fearful of such things interrupts the ritual and tries to warn Mike about the dangers of summoning the evil denizens of Hell.

As always, we hope you enjoy.  If you enjoy the show, please feel free to leave us a nice review on iTunes, or tell you friends and family to tune in, or just download every episode on every device you own and then listen to every video on youtube and then, just to be safe, download every episode a second time.  Or, you know, just keep on living your life, man.

Hey everybody! This week we talk about gargoyles. We all know what gargoyles are. We’ve seen them all over the place growing up. We’ve seen them in TV shows, movies and even comic books but has anybody seen a real, living monster of stone, up close and in person? You would be surprised! Join us as we cover a couple cases of supposed gargoyle sightings and attacks!

Hey everyone! This week we cover something a little bit different, that is if you don’t consider evil personified paranormal. This week, we talk about some new details regarding the murderous career of Sam Little, who is turning out to be the most brutal serial killer in US history. With a body count that keeps climbing, a photographic memory and not lying about any of his crimes yet, Sam Little may be earths most dangerous man. Sorry Ken Shamrock. We also get into a discussion about the Butcher Baker. This guy was not a candlestick maker.

Well it looks like everything has come to a head. Mike going missing for a spell. Constant technical issues. Deleted episodes. Bad gas. All of it. 

This is what was recorded during our attempt at the Human Mutilation episode. The events were so traumatic, so devastating, that it will need to be broken up into 3 parts for publishing do to the condition our equipment is now in.

This is part 1.

Part 2 is available now to Patreons. 

For our safety, we will delay the public release of parts 2 and 3 until next week, when we will be certain other threats will be eliminated.

We are fine. We are alive and we will not stop.

Happy 300th episode

Picture this:  You’re relaxing after a stressful work day, kicked back in your recliner, adorned in your jammies, waiting for Matlock to start.  Suddenly, the entire neighborhood begins to tremble as you hear what sounds like and explosion in your living room.  The weird part?  There was no explosion and no explanation for the sound or tremors.

 

Unnerving, to say the least!

 

This week we take a look at mystery booms and “Sky quakes”.  Are these things caused by natural phenomena that occur in the earth and atmosphere?  Are they hargingers of an impending alien invasion?  Perhaps a top secret government construction project?

 

Give a listen and let us know what you think is behind this most mysterious mystery.

The life of an archaeologist is not always as glamorous as Indiana Jones movies might have you believe. For every amazing discover there are thousand if examples of broken pottery and shell fossils. 

 
Then there are those times when something is uncovered that seems to prove that evil exists in men across the centuries. Pits filled with cannibalized babies, skeletons nailed to their coffins, and secret stashes of severed hands are just some examples of the horrors that have been uncovered.
 
This week we discuss some of the more terrifying finds.
 
Thanks for listening!

Guys…I’m gonna be honest, we didn’t have a plan this week.  It’s the end of Summer, our kids are gearing up for another year at school, Mike is dealing with kids return back to college, Mateo has had to fight a particularly nasty duo of ostriches that are hellbent on using his toilet, for some reason.  I dunno, man.  Listen, it’s a busy time of year for us and we could not find any spare time to research something for this show this week.  Rather than not skipping a week, we decided to just turn on the mics and see what happens.  It ended up being another talk about disclosure and reviewing released military UFO footage.  Tangents abound in this one, kids.

Please forgive us!  We loved youuuuuuu!
