Dalby Spook Haunting Revisited - Gef Returns

Gef the talking mongoose. It sounds like a child's TV show, but in fact it was a not-very-nice poltergeist that haunted the Irving family on the Isle of Man in the 1930's. Gef is a fixture in English paranormal lore, and is now experiencing a resurgence in popularity thanks to the efforts of Christopher Josiffe, a cataloguer at London University's Senate Library, who is reopening the investigation.

Gef was mostly seen by the family's daughter, Voirrey, who discovered that this strange, yellowish creature could talk and sing. She taught him more English, introduced him to the family, and Gef was a frequent visitor to the house.

As news of the poltergeist spread, Gef was investigated by Harry Price, one of England's most celebrated and dedicated magical investigators. Gef never appeared for Price, however. He took pawprint casts and bite-mark impressions and had them analyzed by experts, but they were never associated with any known animal.

Did Voirrey and the rest of the Irvings do this for fame and fortune? There is no evidence that they ever charged for admission to their house, called Doarlish Cashen, and the constant stream of gawkers and tourists was a tremendous bother to them. No, it seems like their report of the haunting was simply factual.

Gef disappeared when the Irvings left in 1935. His legend lives on, however, backed by the testimony of Price and the assertions of Voirrey Irving, to her dying day, that Gef was real.

Now Christopher Josiffe is re-examining Price's documentation and asking for information from Isle of Man residents in an effort to further probe the mystery of Gef. What will he find, more than 70 years after the fact? Mongooses are notoriously slippery creatures, but he may yet grasp more tantalising details to add to the Dalby Spook mystery.

UFO Reporting Turns Official

UFO sightings now have an official place to be logged and recorded, thanks to Phillipe Ailleris and the International Year of Astronomy. Now relabelled Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena (UAP), strange night-time lights and objects can now be recorded, in as much detail as possible, at Ailleris' new website, UapReporting.org.

UAP are usually seen at night, when both professional and amateur astronomers have myriad lenses pointed at the sky. They are the most likely people to spot strange lights in the sky, and - more importantly - the most likely to know how to accurately report what they have seen. UapReporting.org seeks to catalog these sightings and add to the body of knowledge about UFO's, UAP's, and false alarms. The site has a comprehensive questionnaire to complete asking for specific details. It also has a section on common mistaken sightings, such as ball lightning and satellites.

We are all in favour of more detailed, critical analysis and insight into the UFO phenomenon. In our way of thinking, the more we can level a critical eye at the unexplained, the more we will find truly unusual events which will slip through our analysis like watermelon seeds.

The more we look, the more wonder we will find. Go, Phillipe! And keep us all informed of what you, and thousands of informed eyes, discover about our strange sky.

"The Human X-Ray" - Paranormal Healer In Toronto

Unexplained mysteries aren't unusual, exotic, or something only accessible to other people. They can be as close as your own city. Take Ms. Nateliya Frelova, for example, one of a number of Russian-born healers living and working in Toronto, Ontario. She runs a healing center called Speleocenter Harmony, where she matter-of-factly uses her paranormal powers, including complete x-ray vision, to promote healing.


Nateliya comes from a family of healers. When she was fifteen - a common age for the emergence of extrasensory powers - she suddenly could see people's internal organs. Frightening at first, this talent soon became useful, and now is the centrepiece of her healing work.

Another feature of her clinic is the Salt Room, an entire room coated, floor to ceiling, in salts. People sit comfortably inside and soak up the ions, reputed to be great for respiratory problems. Sounds like a wonderful spot for french fries and popcorn, too.

Look around you. If you think the unusual or unexplained might exist, then you'll find it. And it might be right next door.
