about

An audio exploration of the legendary 1930s poltergeist haunting, written and narrated by Christopher Josiffe, author of 'Gef!The Strange Tale of an Extra-Special Talking Mongoose', and Chris Hill (DiscountGnostic, soundscaping).

Winner of the Folklore Society’s 2017 Katherine Briggs Award.


"Brilliantly silly and irreducibly mysterious.”
Bee Wilson, London Review of Books.

During the mid-1930s, British and overseas newspapers were full of incredible stories about Gef, a ‘talking mongoose’ or ‘man-weasel’ who had allegedly appeared in the home of the Irvings, a farming family in a remote district of the Isle of Man. The creature was said to have the ability to talk in several languages, to sing, to steal objects from nearby farms and to eavesdrop on local people.

Despite written reports, magazine articles and books, several photographs, fur samples and paw prints, voluminous correspondence and signed witness statements, there is still no consensus as to what was really happening to the Irving family.

Hoax? Mental illness? A poltergeist? The possession of an animal by an evil spirit? Now you can read all the evidence and decide for yourself.
