Back in October of last year, Billy Corgan claimed he had seen a shapeshifter during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show. It wasn’t him getting in the Halloween spirit either — Corgan was dead serious, saying, ” I saw a transformation that I can’t explain…I was not [on drugs], I was totally sober.”
Now, Corgan returned to Stern’s show on Tuesday (June 12) to double down on the claims with his Smashing Pumpkins bandmates in tow. When asked by the host about the otherworldly experience again, Corgan said, “I know it happened. In fact, it happened twice.”
“I will say, since we’re on radio, that the story is even more fantastical than you think,” Corgan continued before indicating that the story might be a better one to tell off the air.

When pressed by Stern for more detail, Corgan said, “The person was naked.”
“A man?” Stern asked.
“A person was naked,” Corgan responded.
Stern then asked, “Are you saying it was a lover who shapeshifted,” to which Corgan replied, “I can no longer discuss this.”
