Gurgles, Burbles and Babbles: Gef the Extra, Extra Clever Mongoose

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight

In 1931 the Irvings started hearing scratches in the wall. At first they put it down to rodents or maybe a dog, but one night they heard something that sounded like a baby babbling in the attic. The creature in the walls revealed itself as Gef, the spirit of a mongoose/weasel, able to shape shift, split the atom and speak. Gef continues to captivate the imagination and remains a mystery to this day.
