Description

Gef! The Strange Tale of an Extra-Special Talking Mongoose by Christopher Josiffe In the mid-1930s, a mysterious creature known as Gef, a "talking mongoose" or "man-weasel," appeared in the home of a family on the Isle of Man. The creature was said to speak in several languages, sing, and steal objects from nearby farms. Despite numerous reports, photographs, and eyewitness statements, the true nature of Gef's appearances remains unclear. Was it a hoax, a case of folie à plusieurs, or something more unusual? This book presents the first comprehensive examination of the case in over 70 years, drawing on seven years of research and interviews with surviving witnesses. It includes previously unseen photographs and a wealth of correspondence and other evidence. With its enigmatic subject's own words, Gef! offers a unique insight into one of the most bizarre and intriguing cases of its kind. By reading all the evidence presented in this book, you can form your own opinion about what really happened to the Irving family and their mysterious visitor, Gef.
