Imagine you're tucked into bed... and something in the walls starts talking back.

This week, Nancy tells Lindsey one of the strangest, funniest, and most bizarre paranormal stories ever documented: Gef the Talking Mongoose. From the quiet Isle of Man comes a tale of a mysterious creature that claimed it could speak, sing songs, spy on the neighbors, insult visitors, and become a beloved member of the family.

Was Gef a mischievous spirit, an unusually clever animal, an elaborate hoax, or something no one has ever been able to explain? We follow the remarkable timeline of the Irving family, the investigations that brought international attention to their tiny farmhouse, and the outrageous things Gef supposedly said and did.

This episode is packed with unbelievable quotes, hilarious tangents, and one of the most entertaining cases in paranormal history.
