In 1931, a rascally mongoose began to speak from the walls of Doarlish Cashen... Gef's antics transcended his Isle of Man home to become a tabloid sensation and a precedent-setting lawsuit. But was he real, a figment of a family's imagination, or an outright hoax? Renowned author and paranormal aficionado Thomm Quackenbush invites you to an adventure through one of the most peculiar mysteries of the 20th century. Explore the testimonies, interviews, and evidence that will make you wonder if the truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.
Thomm Quackenbush is an author and teacher in the Hudson Valley. He has published four novels in his Night's Dream series (We Shadows, Danse Macabre, Artificial Gods, and Flies to Wanton Boys). He has sold jewelry in Renaissance England, confused as a mad scientist, filed away ten thousand books, and tried to educate the learning disabled, adjudicated, and gifted.
He is capable of crossing one eye, raising one eyebrow, and once accidentally groped a ghost. He finds that friends do not enjoy the extremes he goes to in order to research books, as these involve mortuaries and UFO support groups.
