The What Cast #492 - Bloody Mary and The Midnight Man

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 p...

The What Cast #491 - The Loosh

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.com www.patreon.com/thewhatcast

The What Cast #485 - The Bennington Triangle and Odd Budget Cuts

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 mask...

The What Cast #483 - Eating Cryptids

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 r...

The What Cast #481 - The Levelland UFO: Drones in 1957?

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.com www.patreon.com/thewhatcast
