Listen "Episode 64 - Reptiles, Rodents, and Rumors"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we’re diving into the wonderfully bizarre world of cryptids where folklore meets the downright unbelievable. First, we travel to the windswept Isle of Man in the 1930s, where a talking mongoose named Gef supposedly made a family’s farmhouse his home, leaving behind one of the strangest legends in paranormal history. Was Gef a ghost, a hoax, or a creature from somewhere beyond the ordinary? Then we head to the murky backroads of Bishopville, South Carolina, to meet the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp—a reptilian beast that terrorized locals and left claw marks on cars in the 1980s. With one cryptid chattering in the walls and another lurking in the shadows, we’ll unravel the tales, the evidence, and why these stories still spark fascination (and a few goosebumps) today.bBsSb5I5ltlor9uLYNJzIn Paranormal News - Possible fairy caught on camera?Fatemag - Gef the talking Mongoose / 30 years laterGarrett Collection - GefAtlas Obscura - The Bizzare Story of Gef the Talking MongooseCryptid Wiki - GefExcerpt from My Diary in the House of the Talking Mongoose pg. 39The Harry Price Website - The Talking MongooseSwamp Ape Review – Lizard ManThe City of Bishopville – Lizard ManCrypto Zoo News – Lizard ManCryptid WikiU.S. Department of Mythical WildlifeSouth of Spooky PodcastYou can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at [email protected] You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!
