The What Cast

Last time on the What Cast…   The show came full circle and Mike declared that the show (as you know it) is over and in its place, a haunted cooking show was proposed.    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.   ...

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....

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.    TH...

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...

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 t...

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?...

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.    Thanks for listening! www. TheWh...

Good morning/afternoon/evening/Christmas/Whatever. Welcome back to another episode, we thank you ever so much for listening.  You're all good eggs in our book.  This week we take a gander at Brad Steiger's book The Awful Thing in the Attic.  This book kind of documents some of the cases that Mr. Steiger has researched over the years.  We discuss a few of the cases documented in his book, such as t...

This week, we take you along on a journey with us as we explore a handful of creepy, allegedly real, footage of spooks and ghosts.    Feel free to watch along and speculate with us. We've linked all videos in our show notes playlist on YouTube.   Thanks for listening!   Vid 1 - 3 https://youtu.be/PG1Ejn9KFgw   00:00 - Locked Door 03:00 - Pinata Shop 08:26 - Headless   Vid 4 Blood - On Our Instagra...

We are late.  We left you hanging for 2 weeks with no show.  We didn't write, we didn't call.  What a couple of jerks.  We know!  But, come on, guys.  It was the holiday season! The end of the year!  It was an exhausting year, too.  You know! You were there, too! And you…and you…and…YOU! Plus, we got an email from Dave, witch means you know your messing up. All that is ov...

Hey everyone! This week, we take a break from Monoliths and UFOs to cover once of the strangest cases in alien encounter history; The Potosi Sheep Slayer! If you thought The Chupacabras was the only creature that had a problem with farm animals, think again. Join us as we talk about chopper chairs, llamas and a bad ass young lady with a baby on her back and a billy club in her hand. https://www.jj...

By now, we've ALL heard about this mysterious monolith that just keeps popping up.  As of the time of the recording, there still had not been any confirmation on who was behind it, so please keep that in mind while listening.  We decided to take a deep dive and get into each structure that has popped up, offer speculation, and of course, we go off the deep end. It's all part of ETTBO's plan. Join...

See. Just in time for that drive to Grandma's house. We all know about the mysterious fog that surrounds Ancient Egypt. Whether is be forbidden magics or ancient aliens, there are plenty weird rabbit holes we can go down. This week we discuss some of the mysteries found at Abydos, as well as the case of a time machine or portal, allegedly housed inside the tomb of Hannah Courtoy, that is powered u...

Music is a very special thing.  It has the ability to take us back in time, feel special feels.  Music can soothe an angry soul, or act as an outlet for rage and aggression. In short, music is magic.   This week we welcome our good friend Martin Adil-Smith back to the show to discuss the magic of music and his newest Skorum music project – Freyja's Song.  Please go check out his Indie Go go page:...

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.  Some historians speculate that this mysterious group of sea raiders may have been responsible for the decline in the Egyptian civilization, as well the Bronze age collapse. Who were these mysteriou...

Hey everyone! This week we cover a documentary Mike stumbled upon that blew our minds. Krista Alexander's Lights In The Sky may sound like a documentary about something we all find interesting: lights in the sky, but what if we were to tell you that she has found something in the lights. Something.....that possibly moves right past UFOS. Hold on to your Mocha Frappe Nipples because shit just got w...

Greetings and salutations, one and all! You may have heard about the documentary that is being dubbed as "one of the most important documentaries of the year".  Well, this week, we decided to discuss Phenomenon, the documentary that aims to open up the discussion of the reality of UFOs.  In sticking with that theme, we also review some recent UFO sightings videos and give our thoughts.  Spoiler al...

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.  In order for us to stay a bit grounded, we decided to go back to the old days and talk about our past.  We discussed how our interest in the paranormal started and some of our earliest experiences from our childhoods. Was a young Mike probed by ali...

For centuries, vampires and werewolves have been sworn enemies, fighting a secret war beneath the night sky.   This week, while not exactly talking about a war between vampires and werewolves, we decided to discuss a case of a murderous man, that claimed to have turned into a wolf, and there is some evidence to back up his claim. We also discuss the case for vampires in Seattle and the possibility...

Hey everyone! We hope you are well! This week, Mike is moving, so we had to dig into our bag of odds and ends stories. Things that we don't have enough to do a whole show on, things we can't do enough research on that sorta thing. As Mike mentions, we will have to take next week off so he can finish moving. Thanks for listening and STAY SAFE!

We've seen at least 10,000 movies depicting alien wars, whether it be colonial Marines vs Xenomorphs or Rebels vs the Empire, the idea of space battles or skirmishes against alien tech has long been part of our pop culture.   This week, we decided to talk about recorded times in history where the aliens brought war to Earth.   Check us out, we're funky!   www. TheWhatCasters.com Our Patreon   Celt...

Creepy crawlies abound this week as we discuss the dreaded J'Ba Fofi, or The Great Spider that dwells in the deep jungles of the Congo.   We also get into some pretty strange worm critters, like the Tatzelworm and the Mongolian Death Worm. Mike breaks down his solid theory on the Death Worm's origin.   Be sure to check out our YouTube channel to listen to the beautiful Death Worm Death Metal. It's...
