Gef: The Extra Extra Clever Mongoose
Manage episode 393424485 series 3411306
Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the shop, Kara is telling us all about a very Clever little Mongoose
This week we're veering off the beaten path to the intriguing world of mongoose. Not just any Mongoose however. This week we are talking about a particularly clever Mongoose that can talk and states his name is Gef!
In 1931 the Irving family starts to become haunted by their new Pal, Gef the mongoose. First they have sightings, then a faked death. Soon Gef learns to speak to the family and states he is the ghost of a Mongoose.
Over the course of ten years the family learns to live with the clever creature. Join us as we talk about Gef's antics, the investigations where people, including the famous Harry Price, set out to provide proof of Gef's existence. Finally, we will wrap up with providing our own theories as to what Gef may actually be!
