The What Cast

Its that time again! Time to dig in our old bag of weirdness. This time, we got some old but familiar UFOs, Mothman's cousin-brother is living it up in Chicago and a freaky alien story! Thanks for listening!! Stay Safe! https://www.ancient-code.com/arctic-ufo-uss-trepang-ssn-674-march-1971-high-resolution-photographs/    https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2018/03/08/mystery-crashed-alien-ufo-found-near-antarctica-solved-scientists-7372180/amp/

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?   Tune in to find out!

Alright, I'm just gonna come right out and say it:  Forget all the (Insert animal name here)mans out there.  Yeah, that's right Dogman.  I'm talking about you.  What are you laughing at Goatman?  You're included, too.  Oh, and I didn't forget about you, Bunnyman.  Your time is over.  Now is the time of the Elephantman!  No, I'm not referring to the derogatory name given to Joseph Merrick.    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.   Now, go ahead, get it all out.  If you need me, I'll be over there in the corner ignoring you.   www,thewhatcasters.com https

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?! https://www.mysterywire.com/ufo/new-uap-photographs/   https://fox5sandiego.com/news/trending/mystery-wire-podcast-pyramid-shaped-ufos-swarm-above-navy-destroyer/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=t.co   www.thewhatcasters.com

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?   Yeah that's right.  Fucking devil monkeys.   https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Deridder_Roadkill www.TheWhatCasters.com www.Patreon.com/thewhatcast

Last time on the What Cast…   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.    Soooo…It's looking like maybe The WhatCast that you all know and love isn't dead, afterall.   I hope you like invisible attackers, because there won't be any chili.

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.    THEY WANT OUR GOLD GUYS! It's Nibiru and the reptilians are going to eat your babys!   Anyway, this week we discuss the possibilities of the existence of Planet 9.  Not Planet X

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? One that has had centuries to be refined.  A better question is: "Why you got that book, Mike?"

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.   www.TheWhatCasters.com www.Patreon.com/thewhatcast

It's been a while since we've discussed a classic haunting story, so this week we decided to talk about the Borley Rectory.  Dubbed "the Most Haunted Place in England" by some and an utter hoax perpetrated by the owners in connection with a team of paranormal investigators. Were the events that unfolded on the grounds of Borley Rectory real, or just an urban legend, perpetuated by those involved? www.patreon.com/thewhatcast www.TheWhatCasters.com

You guys know how we've talked about Missing 411 somewhere near one millions times, by now.  Just for kicks, we decided to talk about disappearances that had NOTHING to do with the missing 411 stuff.  This stuff is a cross between X-Files and Unsolved Mysteries.  Just weird stuff that kind of makes you scratch your head and wonder just what the Hell is going on.    Thanks for listening! www.TheWhatCasters.com www.Patreon.com/thewhatcast

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! https://www.amazon.com/Awful-Thing-Attic-Brad-Steiger/dp/1880090171

This week, we take you along on a journey with us as we explore a handful of creepy, allegedly real, footage of spooks and ghosts.    Feel free to watch along and speculate with us. We've linked all videos in our show notes playlist on YouTube.   Thanks for listening!   Vid 1 - 3 https://youtu.be/PG1Ejn9KFgw   00:00 - Locked Door 03:00 - Pinata Shop 08:26 - Headless   Vid 4 Blood - On Our Instagram   Vid 5 -  https://youtu.be/_zxeMnUy8Os   07:03 - Guard Cam

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?!

Hey everyone! This week, we take a break from Monoliths and UFOs to cover once of the strangest cases in alien encounter history; The Potosi Sheep Slayer!

By now, we've ALL heard about this mysterious monolith that just keeps popping up.  As of the time of the recording, there still had not been any confirmation on who was behind it, so please keep that in mind while listening.  We decided to take a deep dive and get into each structure that has popped up, offer speculation, and of course, we go off the deep end. It's all part of ETTBO's plan. Join us. UPDATE!! Check the links!

See. Just in time for that drive to Grandma's house. We all know about the mysterious fog that surrounds Ancient Egypt. Whether is be forbidden magics or ancient aliens, there are plenty weird rabbit holes we can go down. This week we discuss some of the mysteries found at Abydos, as well as the case of a time machine or portal, allegedly housed inside the tomb of Hannah Courtoy, that is powered using ancient Egyptian magic.   Or, ya know, maybe it's barn owls   NEW T SHIRTS UP AT OUR TEESPRING https://teespring.com/stores/the-what-cast-stuff-shop   BE SAFE
