elsewhat 

Something else.

Once a respectable English word, deriving from Old English /elles hwat/. Unfortunately it died out.

See also elsewhere, and compare elsewhen (1418), elsewho (1542), elsehow (modern).
It takes time and effort which might usefully be spent doing elsewhat. (The Face, Nick Logan)
His mind was on elsewhat that hot summer evening after tea. (Memories of the Gorbals)
But his eyes were saying elsewhat (One shining summer, Quinn Wilder)

Elsewhen 

An unspecified period of time that is different to a current or stated time, usually referring to the future.
Tom: Hey, isn't Nathan supposed to be down here in a minute?

Brad: Nah... He told me he was arriving elsewhen.

In another way; ie. elsehow is to how as elsewhere is to where.
I couldn't get an erection by looking at a picture of jessica rabitt, so I attained one elsehow.

Elsewhere 

A version of the afterlife in the brillant novel written by Gabrielle Zevin by the same title. In Elsewhere you age backwards from the time you died until you become an infant again and are reborn. Elsewhere is much the same as life on Earth, you have to have a job so you have money to spend. You can watch people who are still alive though binoculars on the observation deck. The living can send you mail via bottles thrown into the sea. In fact, communication between the living and dead involves water...but I don't want to give too much away in case you haven't yet read the novel.

There are no supernatural beings in this version of the after life but there is Marilyn Monroe and Picasso; as well as some very colorful characters.
Elsewhere is a warm and sunny afterlife with plently of wonderful beaches.

Elsewhere 

Bob's Discount Wrenches has decent deals, but, if I search thoroughly, I can probably find lower prices elsewhere.
