The What Cast #388 - REAL WIZARDS
WIZARDS! *Queue lightning* MAD SCIENTISTS! *maniacal cackling* POLTERGEISTS! *Audible gasp* This week on The What Cast we take a look at a couple interesting individuals from history. Both considered to be wizards or sorcerers by the general public, but this was likely not the case. Listen, just because one guy can control lightning and create new species of insects, and the other guy can stretch himself like Mr. Fantastic and make furniture dance, that doesn’t mean they are freakin’ wizards. I mean…I can’t do that sort of stuff, but I also can’t slam dunk and last I checked Michael Jordan wasn’t a wizard…or was he? I’m all confused now and my world view is quickly shifting. I’m lost guys. Alright, move on. Look over there, WIZARDS! Thanks for listening! https://www.TheWhatCasters.com https://www.patreon.com/TheWhatCast

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

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 all abducted on the same night. Just what happened that fateful evening? Were these poor souls victims of repeated torment by aliens, or where they unwilling participants to some sort of Government mind-control experiments?

Most of us have likely been to a local fair or carnival and viewed the “freaks” and oddities on display.

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* For those that are sensitive to this sort of thing, we do discuss sexual assault by an unwelcome entity.

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 become a hotspot for all manner of anomalous activity, including UFOs, and even Greys reported on the ground. Join us and we delve into the weirdness surrounding this famous international airport. Thanks for listening!

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.

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. Mr. Bronson related a tale told to him by his fellow hunter, John Alfred Jordan, about an unknown reptilian creature that lurks along the Maggori River in Africa. According to Jordan, he witnessed the best, known as the dingonek, when out on an expedition. We have heard lots of tales coming out of the more remote areas of Africa that involve impossible creatures, monsters from another time. Is the dingonek among these famed beasts or this just a case of Africa’s version of Creatures from the Lumberwoods?

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 actually an error occurring with the costume, it’s the fact that these people have been possessed by an evil entity. In this scenario, the reptoids are similar to demons or djinn, and they will enter the body of a host and possess it. When we see the shape shifting, this is the entity showing itself. So, just what is going on here and will Crystal butt plugs protect you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vf_st6sFNY
