The WFC3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallel (WISP) survey is an ongoing large (> 500 orbits) HST pure parallel program to obtain slitless, near-infrared spectroscopy of 200 independent, high-latitude fields using the Wide Field Camera-3 grisms. The survey will ultimately provide an unbiased sample of thousands of emission-line and continuum-selected objects, that will enable an accurate measurement of the star formation history over the last 10 billion years, a better characterization of the properties (star formation rates, metallicities, dust extinction) of galaxies at the epoch of peak star formation rate density, and possibly the serendipitous discovery of highly luminous z>6.5 Lya emitters. I will discuss a new population of high-EW emission-line galaxies that we discovered in the 0.5
