Every Man's Mongoose talks to him!

England's top researchers Investigate Case of 'Gef' the talking Mongoose from the Isle of Man! Perhaps as at Stonehenge, they will 'ferret' out the truth at last

The story of Gef is awesome. It's essentially about an Indian born ghost-demon-mongoose that turns up on the Isle of Mann and proceeds to trash talk everyone in a variety of languages.

As weird tales go, it's one of the best. Utterly bonkers.

Mine must be mute.

Currently I'm seeking out Riki Tiki Tavi to see what he has to say.

Screwy stuff from the mongoose there, especially considering it was 1931.

I love the fact he claimed to have been born in Delhi on June the 7th, 1853...I mean, what the hell?

Little guy was one some serious mongoose drugs.

It's a great story.
