The What Cast #356 - The Khamar Daban Incident

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 Wha...

The What Cast #355 - Deep Space Weirdness

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 dis...

The What Cast #354 - Dangerous Books

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 o...

The What Cast #353 - The Buff Ledge Abduction

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 s...

The What Cast #352 - The Most Haunted Place in England: Borley Rectory

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

The What Cast #351 - People Who Appeared Out Of Nowhere

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.

The What Cast #341 - We Are All Atlanteans

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.

What is up, everysinglebody? We are living in crazy times, and we hope that everyone is able to retain some form of sanity and weather the shit storm.

The answers, and more, remain unanswered, but we hope ...

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?
