We're all familiar with the telltale signs of ghost hauntings like mysterious, unexplained sounds, and disembodied voices.

But what about when a spirit takes a more unique approach?

This was the experience of a British family in the early 20th century.

So today, let's discuss the facts and fiction behind the peculiar case of Jeff the Talking Mangus.

This is Red Web, the podcast all about unsolved

mysteries, true crime, and of course, the supernatural.

I am your resident mystery enthusiast Trevor Collins.

Joining me, hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz. You think it'd be April Fols? But it's not.

We're closing in on October. Yeah. Interesting.

Very interesting. I don't this one I think probably for the first time has really thrown me.

Do we get a talking mongoose named Jeff? I mean there's not much to go off of there, huh? There's not too much to go off of. I don't quite know where this is going.

Right. It's an interesting case for sure. I mean, already I'm intrigued.

Yeah, I feel like April Fool's is definitely a good rapper for this type of thing

Mongoose has been one of those topics that we've talked about adding to the kind of

a fun ghost one rather than a terrifying

I'm deeply unsettled kind of supernatural story.

Oh interesting yeah a fun ghost one we got a fun ghost like a Casper out here yeah it's a fun ghost one. We got a fun ghost like a Casper out here.
