The What Cast #300 - Human Mutilation Part I

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 unt...

The What Cast #299 - Sounds From The Sky 2

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...

The What Cast #298 - Brutal Archaeological Finds

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 we...

The What Cast #296 - End OF Summer BS Episode

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 What Cast #295 - Miss Karen: A Witch's Tale

Hey everybody! We hope your week is going well! This episode we are joined by our friend Karen! She is a sensitive, paranormal experiencer, kick ass artist and a Witch. No, you read that right. An honest to goodness Witch.

Be sure to give her a follow! https://twitter.com/herwitchya...

The What Cast #294 - H. H. Holmes, Podcast Palooza and Comics

What’s up, goons? This week we did something a little bit different. Since The Silicon Valley Comicon is coming up, we decided to shoot the breeze about that and comics in general. We then take a sharp left turn and talk about the notorious murderer H.H. Holmes. How do these things go together? They don’t. Not at all. Did we land the transition between the subject? Probably not. We never claimed to be professionals, guys! At the time of this recording, The What Cast was scheduled to participate ...

The What Cast #293 - King Solomon: Demon Master

When you think about someone summoning demons, you don't typically think of a devout follow of God. Yet, God sent an angel to give King Solomon a magical ring to bind demons to do his will. This week we decided to cover the legend of King Solomon and discuss his history and the story told within the Testament of Solomon. Also please forgive Mateo's voice. He was pulling double duty and was recording a certain shark related video for a certain adult website. Certain things put a strain on one's v...

The What Cast #292 - Ouija Board Possessions

You know those cheesy after-school specials where they have kid actors that are “just like you” going through horrible and traumatic reenactments of possible tragedies? Usually they involve drugs, or drinking and driving, maybe a little unprotected sex. The one thing they missed out on was the PSA on Ouija board usage. Basically, don’t mess with a tool that can contact the dead as though it were the latest version of Barbie Fashion Fun House. Sheesh! Do you want to catch a serious case of the de...

The What Cast #291 - The Shaitan Mazar UFO Crash

This week we decide to take a look at crazy UFO cases that happen outside the confines of the United States. It's International UFO sighting across the world but also kind of America day.

The What Cast #290 - The Past Life Of Dorothy Eady

Do you believe in reincarnation? It’s a topic that we’ve discussed many times in the past, but there are some stories that are so compelling that they need to be discussed and speculated on. This week, we have such a story for you. Was Dorothy Eady a reincarnated Egyptian priestess? If not, how can we rationally explain the significant discoveries that were found based on her past-life memories? Tune-in, maybe you’ll find out! Thanks For Listening!

The What Cast #289 - Dragons!

Dragons! Sounds cool right?! NO! Fire breathing dinosaurs do not sound like a good time. None the less, history has a few stories of people facing them and kicking their ass. We know, we know. "Dragons were not real!" Oh yeah there were. And they hate bras. Like they should. From St. George to modern day encounters, join us as we talk about Dragons! www.TheWhatCasters.com www.Patreon.com/TheWhatCast

The What Cast #288 - UFOS ARE REAL! AGAIN!

There seems to be an uptick in the amount of coverage the UFO phenomenon has been getting, lately. It is now being covered seriously without the X-Files theme song, which is a plus. All this attention leaves us wondering why this is happening now. We know that the mainstream media is backed my massive corporations that often have ties to military contractors. Is this new attention being used as a distraction, or are their more nefarious reasons behind it? This week, we talk about the current sta...

The What Cast #287 - All That Paz! (Killing In The Name Of Satan)

Demonic possessions have been discussed time and time again. We are all familiar with the famous cases and they’ve been covered many many times. This week, we wanted to try a different take and decided to look at people that committed murder under the influence of an evil entity. We also discuss the aspects of mental illness and drug use and how it may relate to cases of possession. For our patrons, we have a special bonus episode getting into some weird shit regarding David Berkowitz that doesn...

The What Cast #286 - Dyatlov Pass Incident: Reopened

We finally got back to it, kids! It’s been a long time coming, but we finally got there. This week, we reprise the discussion we had back in episode 1. Not the awkward parts. Specifically, we are going to discuss the Dyatlov Pass incident and discuss updates, theories and talk a bit about the investigation being reopened. So with all this new information, what do you think was behind the deaths of the 9 hikers? WRONG! It was a yeti with a vendetta. Don’t fuck with Siberian yetis. You’ll have a b...

The What Cast #284 - Teresita Basa

Greetings, all. This week is kind of weird. I couldn’t get in touch with Mike for days, and I’ve still not heard from him. He left me a weird message about going away for a bit, which will be played in its entirety at the end of the episode. I’m not sure where to go from here, but we have a few episodes that we’ve recorded already and we will be releasing them over the next couple weeks. If he doesn’t get back to me by then, I’ll post something letting you guys know about the future of the show....

The What Cast #282 - What Is The Beast Of Bray Road?

There is a furry beast that lives in the rural areas of Wisconsin. The nature of this beast is disputed. Is it a wayward bear? A massive wolf? Dogman? A were-cougar? BIGFOOT?! Despite the differing descriptions, the reports continue. This week we look into The Beast of Bray Road and his hairy companions all over the rural areas of the great state of Wisconsin.

The What Cast #281 - Flying Snakes, The Golden Jelly Fish and The Fish Bear

Hey guys! This week, we take a turn for the weird with a few cases of some creep shit people have seen fling in the sky. No no no no, not UFOs. Creepier. Sausages? God, no that's not even creepy. That sounds like a dream come true, but that's besides the point. Birds, they belong in the sky. Snakes do not. Oh look at you now. Not creepy enough.

The What Cast #280 - Australian Abductions

Alien abductions are always an interesting topic. We’ve covered them in various forms over the years and most of what we have covered seem to come from within the borders of the United States. This time around, we decided to take a gander Down Under and see what manner of insanity the Australian aliens bring to the table. One thing to bear in mind, Australia is the ONLY place in the world that has a native population of wild kangaroos. This may be a bit too convenient for my liking. Do with that...

The What Cast #279 - Everything Is Connected: A Mike Rant

Guys. Synchronicity seams to be the big thing nowa days. Some people see synchronicities as funny little things that just happen. Some folks take them as messages from beyond! Some think they are such strong indicators of proof of the paranormal, they make entire documentaries on them! Well Mike wanted more than similarities and coincidences. So he went into hardcore mode. Quit the pills, switched from whiskey to beer and started making some pretty interesting connections to a lot of things that...

The What Cast #278 - Reservation Weirdness with Jade

Remember those pesky goblins in Kentucky? The ones in Hopkinsville and Hellier? What if we told you that these things aren’t just found in Kentucky? We’ve discussed aliens in relation to the myths of the faerie folk, and I think we can also lump goblins in with that mess. To further this point, we welcome a lovely young woman from Canada, Jade on to discuss so myths and legends that are part of the lore of the Native Cree people. At this point I think we can just admit that the goblins are in le...

The What Cast #277 - The Weirdest War

Hey everyone! We have returned after being forced to take last week off. We ran into some technical issues, but after a few trials and errors, we are back on track. This week, we sit down and talk about some of the strangest cases to come out of The Vietnam War. UFOs? Go bigger. Criptids? Try creatures so weird, we don't know what the hell to call them.

The What Cast #276 - Hellier: The Return Of The Hopkinsville Goblins

GUYS! Do you remember the case of the Hopkinsville Goblins? They were the little gremlin looking things that terrorized a family farm in Kentucky? Crazy story, right? Well…things get crazier. There is a new documentary series on YouTube called Hellier that centers on the mystery of these small entities acting in a similar manner and freaking people out in the small hamlet of Hellier, which is also in Kentucky. Wanna know what is even weirder? These events may be tied to the Mothman/Indrid Cold s...

The What Cast #275 - Jungle Whale and Other Out Of Place Animals

Recently, in the news, there has been coverage of a whale that was found dead in the jungles of Brazil at the mouth of the Amazon river. The weird thing about this is that the whales should have been in Antarctica this time of year. What the Hell was this whale doing?! This got us looking into other cases where ocean animals appear on land in place they should not be. Mike also talks about a couple of mysterious plane crashes that appear to suggest that the planes ended up somewhere they were no...

The What Cast #274 - The Philip Experiment

Remember when you were a kid and your friend got a Ouija board and you guys stayed up late to try and summon ghosts at midnight? Some how, the planchette moved and no one would admit that they moved it, so it must have been a ghost, right? What if it was really you and your friends that created the ghost you were communicating with? This week we take a look at the Philip Experiment and delve into the notion of tulpas and thought forms. Here's a thought to consider...What if Mike and Mateo are ju...

The What Cast #273 - Ghost Makers and The Devil's Tree

What is a "ghost"? We've talked many times about various theories on what exactly a "ghost" could be. If "ghosts" are not the left over energies from a deceased human being, then why do they seem to linger around areas where murders or brutal battles took place? This week, we take a look at some stories involving true crimes that resulted in a haunted location. Is it a magical murder cult trapping souls all over the world? Demons that are drawn to profound suffering that decided to stick around?...

The What Cast #272 - The Gravity Knife Story

Guys, we've talked about personal ghost stories before. Mateo's late night Easter Bunny visits, Mike's weird pale ghost figure, shadow people, unnatural fear, all of that. This week, we are talking about strange experiences at Mateo's mom's house. You see, dear listener, this house seems to be a highway for wayward spooks and maybe time travelers. Is ETTBO paying personal visits to Mateo's mom? Let's hope not, but there is a chance we will have a Maury Povich style paternity test prepared for ET...

The What Cast #271 - Black Knight Debunked

Hey guys. Today we are going to take a massive shit in your cereal and debunk the Black Knight satellite. Well, at least those really cool pictures that look like a neat spaceship. We also talk about the possible alien space probe, Oumuamua. Sorry for the quirks in Mike's sound. Never before have our efforts been so bluntly thwarted by ETTBO. Alas, we prevail. Although, not unscathed. http://www.jamesoberg.com/sts88_and-black-knight.pdf www.TheWhatCasters.com www.Patreon.com/thewhatcast...
