In 1931, deep in the isolated windswept hills of Doarlish Cashen on the Isle of Man, the Irving family found themselves sharing their farmhouse with something completely unexplainable. It wasn't a standard ghostly whisper—it was a screeching, high-pitched voice two octaves above human range reading the daily news from inside the wall panelling, hunting over 200 rabbits for dinner, and casually dropping threats like \"I could kill you all, but I won't!\"
Join Wyrdo's Craig and Andy as they dive into the utterly bizarre, hilarious, and deeply unsettling tale of Gef, the self-proclaimed \"extra, extra clever mongoose\" and earthbound spirit. We follow the paper trail from Captain McDonald's chaotic psychical investigations to celebrity ghost hunter Harry Price, and the bizarre 1930s high-court slander trial that nearly bankrupted a high-society figure over a talking fairy spook.
Was Gef a deliberate hoax, a teenage poltergeist manifestation, a local Fae, or—as some modern remote viewers suggest—a million-year-old artificial intelligence breaking out of a Bronze Age tomb?
Stick around until the very end to hear us completely lose our minds (and our voices) trying to recreate Gef in the studio.
Stay Wyrd!
