BEST of 2025 - The Strange Case of Gef the Talking Mongoose

Over 8000 of you voted on your favourite episodes of The Tape Library in 2025 and for the next few weeks we're going to count down the top 3. In third place it's Gef the Talking Mongoose... Was he a spirit, a hoax, or something else entirely? Gef the Talking Mongoose is one of the strangest paranormal cases ever recorded. In the 1930s, a small family on the Isle of Man claimed they were haunted by a mysterious talking creature with a mischievous personality. Some believed he was a ghost, others thought he was a cryptid, and skeptics called it a hoax. But decades later, the mystery of Gef remains unsolved. Join us as we explore this bizarre and chilling case. Again, can't recommend this book enough. There's so much information in it that I didn't get a chance to touch on.
