The What Cast

We've talked a lot on this show about certain paranormal "hotspots", and the variety of weird situations that have occured in these areas.  What if these areas became hotspots for a reason? This week we discuss various areas of paranormal activity and how they may be related to occult rituals or magical curses. Wizards can really fuck your day up, man. www. TheWhatCasters.com www.

Friends, we invite you to join us in watching a number of videos that allegedly show anomalous creatures in the wild.  Is it Bigfoot?  Perhaps an escaped ape?  Maybe it's Uncle Jimbo, drunk in last year's Halloween costume.  Please watch along with us and let us know your opinions.  Let's start a discussion.  If you think Mike needs to stop being Joe Nickell, maybe shoot him a message and tell him...

Basically, this episode is about the occasions when exorcisms and demonic possessions turn deadly.  As if having a stupid demon sharing the space of your brain and trying to eat your soul was bad enough, now you have to worry about crazy, over-zealous religious fanatics starving you to death or chopping you and your family up into little pieces.   Let's be real, death should never be the punishmen...

When you think of the term soothsayer you likely imagine a crusty old bearded guy warning Julius Ceasar to beware the Ides of March.  Either that or you wonder to yourself what the Hell a Soothsayer is.  Whether you want to call them a fortune teller, a seer, a psychic, these guys are known for foretelling future events.  This week we take a look at the Grand Daddy of them all, Nostradamus.  Nostr...

The term "Star Gate" really kind of jumped into the public eye with the release of the Kurt Russell movie in the 90s.  Before that time, most people had no idea what the Hell a star gate was, or even that it was (maybe) a thing.    Well, friends, this week we decided to devote this episode to reviewing the Kurt Russell/James Spader classic in all its glory.  We will get into behind the sce-   Wait...

hey everyone and to those who celebrate, Marry Christmas! This episode, we found an interest subject to cover, but in true Mike fashion, he debunked the entire thing 10 minutes before we went on. Moreover, his computer took a dump mid recording, so that was fun too, but who cares?! Join us as we talk about the totally fake "Organism 46B", LIVE PD Jesus and read some show suggestions. Thank you ver...

Hey everybody sorry for the delay. This week we are talking about the Big Gray Man of Scotland. Is it a ghost? Is it a spirit of the mountains? Is it a Cryptid? Going by witness accounts the answer is yes. Join us as we talk about the first and most famous reports of encountering a big gray man. www. TheWhatCasters.com www. Patreon.com/thewhatcast

It's been a bit since we've had a guest on the show.  We decided to remedy that. This week we welcome Theresa from Theresa's Haunted History of the Tri-State to join us to talk about what got her started investigating, her haunted past and her blog.  Thank you, once again, Theresa, for agreeing to joing us! Read all about Theresa's spooky adventures at her blog:   http://theresashauntedhistoryofth...

After a week off, we really wanted to come out swinging.  We wanted something weird, something scary, something that would be interesting to our dear listeners.  I think we found it!   This week we take a look at the story of the Union Scream House.  This house, and the events that have gone on seem to have a bit of Amityville flair with an added helping of demonic possession, just for kicks.  The...

Alright guys.  It's Halloween, which means it's time for The What Cast annual Spooky-Scare-a-thon-a-palooza.  This year, Mike has decided he is going to try and summon the demon Stolas to help aid his favorite Time Lord (and yours!), Evil Time Traveling Barack Obama.  Mateo, be rightfully fearful of such things interrupts the ritual and tries to warn Mike about the dangers of summoning the evil de...

Hey everybody! This week we talk about gargoyles. We all know what gargoyles are. We've seen them all over the place growing up. We've seen them in TV shows, movies and even comic books but has anybody seen a real, living monster of stone, up close and in person? You would be surprised! Join us as we cover a couple cases of supposed gargoyle sightings and attacks!   NASA Sighting Gargoyles In Texa...

Hey everyone! This week we cover something a little bit different, that is if you don't consider evil personified paranormal. This week, we talk about some new details regarding the murderous career of Sam Little, who is turning out to be the most brutal serial killer in US history. With a body count that keeps climbing, a photographic memory and not lying about any of his crimes yet, Sam Little m...

When last we left our intrepid heroes, it was revealed that Mike's consciousness was trapped inside the old time machine from episode #200.

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...

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...

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...

Hey all! This week we are joined by our pal JG to talk about this years Silicon Valley Comicon as well as a few of the things we were going to cover a Podcast Palooza such as a comic book artist who's stories predict the future, real life sightings of superheros and the Spiderman/Disney/Marvel drama.  Thanks for listening and thank you JG! Embrace the nerdiness, friends!

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 r...

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.  She was nice enough to sit with us and tell us about what spawned her abilities, where they come from and what it's like to hone such skills such as cleansing, making wards and...

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 c...

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 re...

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 w...

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.   So this week we take a look at a UFO crash in Russia and the famous Japanese sighting over Alaska.   It's a crazy world out there, made crazier by UFOnauts.   Thanks for listening
