Description

A mysterious creature that lived on the farm Dorlis Cashion near the village of Dalby on the Isle of man.

The story about the talking animal, who called themselves the Indian mongoose Jeff, in the mid 1930-ies were actively discussed on pages of the British press. He felt a thump, a clatter, sahami and spoke in a thin voice (the voice of the creature sounded two octaves higher than a human, but sometimes fell below the level of the usual range). He also threw objects. It was described as small, like a rat creature with a long bushy tail.

The researchers of the phenomenon (in particular, Harry Price and Nandor Fodor's) could not come to a final conclusion about who was actually Geoff: a kind of poltergeist, cription or a character of local legend, created by the owners of the house.
