The What Cast #490 - The Highgate Vampire

Ghost stories seem to be a common pastime among kids at sleep-overs and camp-outs.  Telling spooky stories along with trying to scare each other with stupid dares seem to be a staple among kids from all generations.  Hell, adults have even been known to engage in such shenanigans. Today we are going to discuss the classic “game” Bloody Mary and discuss the traditions and background of the game, then talk about how it tends to vary by locale and generation.  We also look at a more modern game that pops up pretty frequently in creepy pasta spheres online, the Midnight Game, and the entity known as the Midnight Man. This one was a live show, so we will make references to things that popped up in chat throughout the episode.

We've often discussed the idea that paranormal entities may be feeding off of our emotional response to their presence. It seems pretty likely, doesn't it? The more a person gets scared or responds to the haunting/possession/whatever, the more activity ramps up. Recently, we discovered that the essence these things feed on has a name. That name is the Loosh. We're gonna talk about that.thanks for listening!www.TheWhatCast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

Over the past few years, it has seemed like we may be heading toward some sort of official disclosure. UAPs and the talk of alien bodies have moved away from the fringe to getting mainstream coverage.  Is it strange, then, that we are seeing history budget cuts to the FAA as well as budget cuts for National Parks Service?  Are these “Budget cuts” an attempt to cover-up possible evidence or witnesses to paranormal activity?  This week we discuss the Federal budget cuts and put on our Alex Jones masks to wildly speculate about the true purpose of these cuts.  We also get into discussion about the Bennington triangle disappearances, and Bigfoot is still a fairy ghost alien.thanks for listening!www.thewhatcasters.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

You ever go to one of those Sportsman shows were there are animal heads on the walls and all sorts of weird meat and jerky to sample?  What if there was a secret, deep underground convention for only the most extreme hunters and food connoisseurs?  The convention is filled with patrons with only the most sophisticated pallets, adventurous appetites, or sub-par IQs; those who are no longer satisfied with a meager burger, or average steak.  I’m referring to a very specific group of individuals. I’m referring to The Cryptid Eaters. This week we take a look at people that have allegedly dined on the flesh of the most mysterious beasts this world has to offer. Would you taste of the meat of the mighty Mokele Mbembe?  Are you brave enough to snake on the cooked leg of the dreaded J’ba Fofi?  In these circles, it’s eat or be eaten.  Which side will you be on?thank you for listening!www.thewhatcast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatccast
