Cryptid of the Day: Gef

Description: In 1931, the Irving family claimed their farmhouse was inhabited by a talking mongoose; a ghost in the form of an animal. The tabloid press ate up the story. It is now believed that Irving’s daughter, Voirrey, used ventriloquism to pull off the hoax

Pictured is the house the Irvings lived in with Gef. The two people are apparently Jim Irving and Voirrey.

(ID: A side view of a simple house with no discernible features between the walls and the roof. There is a small partition jutting out from the front. A young woman and a man stand next to each other.)

Gef The Talking Mongoose

One morning in the early 1930s, James Irving of the village of Dalby on the Isle of Man was getting ready to open his daily newspaper when a high-pitched disembodied voice called out impatiently, “Read it out, you fat-headed gnome!” The voice didn’t belong to Irving’s wife Margaret or his teenage daughter Voirrey—the only humans likely to be in the remote farmhouse—but though Irving may have been offended, he wasn’t surprised. He knew the voice belonged to a strange creature called Gef, who, for some time, had been living, largely unseen, in his family’s home.

The mysterious creature first showed up in the Irving residence sometime in 1931, and, according to the accounts of James, Margaret, and Voirrey, initially lived in the walls and, not yet able to speak, imitated a range of animal noises. Quickly, the unseen entity started to pick up human language from the Irvings, and, before long, introduced itself to the family: His name, he said, was “Gef” (pronounced “Jeff”), and he was a mongoose from India...

 The Strange Story of Gef The Talking Mongoose

just found this photo on pinterest and i have so many feelings and thoughts about it because i've never seen it before.. for example:

GEF WITHOUT HIS GOGGLES?? like i've never seen him without them and it gives me the same feeling as seeing some popular character without their main attribute of appearance;

TASERFACE IS SO SMOL HERE AND GEF IS LIKE A GIANT MAN. even chris seems a bit taller than taserface i just can't 😭

chris striking a hilarious pose and making a funny face. bonus points for that.

Legally Gef: Lambert v. Levita

Our story begins in 1931 on the Isle of Man, a 221-square-mile island under the control of England. For reference, the Isle of Man is one-sixth the size of the state of Rhode Island. A former piano salesman and farmer James T. Irving lived in an area called Cashen Gap with his family. In the walls of their home, they started to hear strange animal noises which were driving them crazy. Irving…

(Sorry if you're not allowing asks, you don't have to answer this + hopefully this question actually makes sense T_T) Are there any stories of Gef from the other citizens on the Isle of Man that you can find? I'm interested in how the other people in the area would view him ^_^ (like stories that people other than the Irvings have of him)

Ahhh I’m always open to asks!

I know of a couple of incidents:

A man who was working outside threw his bread crust on the ground and he saw it being carried away by an unseen force, so he attributed that to Gef.

A few townsfolk also said they could hear Gef talking behind bushes as the Irvings went to market, but they never saw him.
