The What Cast #383 - The Ghostwriter: Pearl Curran

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! Thank you! www.TheWhatCasters.com

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 What Cast #379 - The Hypnotic Alien Abduction Booby Trap

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 ...

The What Cast #378 - Known Fakes: The Fiji Mermaid and The Jackalope

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. http://www.thewhatcastersco...

The What Cast #377 - Bears Who Take Children

You ever sit there, watching your favorite Disney movie and wonder why the Hell there weren’t more talking/singing animals in the real world? 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 butto...

The What Cast #376 - The Banshee

From legends, to modern ghost stories and movies, the banshee has become a household name. Is she a harbinger of death or the actual cause? Maybe she is just super empathetic and mourns all death? This week we discussed the classic legend as well as a new variant in the new world, The Banshee of the Bad Lands, and she brought a friend!

The What Cast #375 - When Demons Attack.....down there!

We’ve talked about many different kinds of creeps and spooks that haunt the unsuspecting sleeper. There have been many episodes featuring the Old Hag, Shadow People, and the dreaded Hat Man. This week, we take a look at the absolute worst nighttime visitor, the Incubus/Succubus. Could these sex demons be the actual beings behind sleep paralysis? Are they responsible for shadow people invading your space? Maybe it wasn’t that public toilet seat that gave you crabs, after all. *TRIGGER WARNING* Fo...

The What Cast #372 - Mothman and The O'Hare International Airport

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 bec...

The What Cast #371 - Dragon Legends

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 What Cast #370 - The Dingonek

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.

The What Cast #366 - Reptoids: Aliens or Demons?

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 ac...

The What Cast #361 - Sasquatch: Tipple Murderer

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 spoil...

The What Cast #359 - The UFO Question: NO MORE!

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 ...

The What Cast #358 - Phantom Beasts

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?! Wh...

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 i...
