Having risen to the status of international newspaper sensation, The Dalby Spook, or Gef the talking mongoose to those that knew him, was now poised to meet some of the world's most infamous psychical researchers. Unfortunately, Gef was as shy amongst company as he was talkative to the Irvings. Yet still the story of Gef persisted until eventually, his name ended up associated with a debate that took place in the highest office of the land. SOURCES Josiffe, Christopher (2017) Gef!

RR The Wire 1600Z November 20, 2023PRECEDENCE: ROUTINE RRDTG: 160020Z NOV 23ICOD: 150020Z NOV 23CONTROLS: Public ReleaseQQQQBLUF: BORDER TENSIONS MOUNT IN EUROPE. SMALL FRACTION OF J6 TAPES RELEASED. -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East Front: In Yemen, Houthi rebels have begun intensifying maritime piracy operations. Last night, Yemen seized the M/V GALAXY LEADER as part of their ongoing war with Israel. The ship is Japanese flagged and operated by Ray Car Carriers, a company registered in the Isle of Man. AC: Ray Car Carriers was founded by Abraham “Rami” Ungar, one of the richest men in Israel. This is likely why this vessel was targeted by Yemen.European Front: Tensions mount in Northern Europe as nations continue to quietly enhance their border security. Tensions remain between Estonia and Russia, the former accusing the latter of contributing to immigration woes. Finland has announced the closure of 4 border crossings with Russia, allegedly also due to immigration issues. Last week, Sweden announced plans to bolster border checkpoints in the wake of Quran burning incidents, which have inflamed significant numbers of refugees/immigrants in the region, resulting in clashes at border checkpoints.-HomeFront-USA: Some of the J6 tapes have been released. Though the House Speaker claims to have authorized the release of almost 44,000 hours of footage, at this time only 89 videos have been released comprising of 12 hours, 35 minutes, and 25 seconds of footage. If the 44,000 hours are intended to be the final goal for release, this means that 0.03% of the tapes have been released. Additionally, the Committee on House Administration uploaded these files to their Dropbox page, last editing them on September 7th, 2023. AC: Theoretically, if keeping the same upload schedule as demonstrated so far, and if an equal amount of footage is uploaded today, simple arithmetic indicates that roughly 12.5 hours of footage being released every 74 days means that it will take approximately 713.64 years for all of the files to be released. Using a more representative scenario, assuming the release of these tapes was the first action of Speaker Johnson (which it wasn't, his first official action was to support a resolution in support of Israel), it still took 25 days to release 12.5 hours of footage. Using these figures, it would take 241 years to release the full archive. It is possible that other tapes have been released on other platforms, however, per the Committee on House Administration website, this is the total amount of footage released so far. -Analyst Comments-Announcing the full release of the J6 tapes, while only releasing a tiny fraction so far results in political capital being gained, while not actually resulting in any real action. Even so far, the few hours of footage that have been released have disproven years of narrative shaping operations.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst: S2AEND REPORTNNNN
In the 1930s a peculiar story began filtering out from the towns and villages surrounding a small farm on the western coast of the Isle of Man. Reports of a talking animal, a local spook that could sing the Manx national anthem, engross itself in the local gossip and hunt rabbits better than any of the local poachers, had made their rounds locally and shot out into the wilder world, confounding anyone who gave the story the time of day. If only those interested in the affair had been as smart as the spook itself, who had cheerfully told the owner of the farm one evening, “If you knew what I know, you'd know a hell of a lot!” For almost anything, head over to the podcasts hub at darkhistories.com Support the show by using our link when you sign up to Audible: http://audibletrial.com/darkhistories or visit our Patreon for bonus episodes and Early Access: https://www.patreon.com/darkhistories The Dark Histories books are available to buy here: http://author.to/darkhistories Dark Histories merch is available here: https://bit.ly/3GChjk9 Connect with us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/darkhistoriespodcast Or find us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/darkhistories & Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dark_histories/ Or you can contact us directly via email at contact@darkhistories.com or join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/cmGcBFf The Dark Histories Butterfly was drawn by Courtney, who you can find on Instagram @bewildereye Music was recorded by me © Ben Cutmore 2017 Other Outro music was Paul Whiteman & his orchestra with Mildred Bailey - All of me (1931).

In 1933 Mr J B Keig published a booklet of nicknames used in Ballaugh to distinguish between so many people who had similar surnames (though probably unrelated) and forenames. It provides an interesting social history of the parish in the period from 1860 to 1900. In our Manx translation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dr John Seward has been summoned by an urgent need for his patient, Renfield, to talk to him. Having read the transcript of Dr Seward's diary, three of his companions accompany him to talk to Renfield - Professor Van Helsing, Arthur Holmwood (Lord Godalming) and Quincey Morris.

David Dorricott has commissioned possibly his most ambitious piece of Bible-inspired artwork to enhance the 25-acre site at Mountain View Innovation Centre, on Jurby Road, just outside Ramsey, where his business - AFD Software - has its headquarters. The work of artist James Sutton, the piece - which took some 3 years to create - was fully installed recently and on today's programme both James and David reflect on it. Visitors are welcome at Mountain View - walk in the grounds, or have a coffee or a snack in Babbage's Bistro, which is also on the site. In October, twelve young people from the Island attended 3Generate - the children's and young people's assembly of the Methodist Church. Six of them - Onnee, Ailish, Ealish, Kitty, John and Daniel explain why it was such an amazing experience - and they've got an invitation for YOU too! Music is from The Enchanted Voices, and 80's worship band 2nd Chapter of Acts There's notice board news, too - email your items for inclusion to judithley@manxradio.com
A bit of déjà vu on Agenda this week as the Bishop's vote is once more called into question this time by the House of Keys who narrowly voted to allow Lawrie Hooper to introduce a private member's Bill to remove the vote from the Bishop. Mr Hooper was accused of having malevolent purpose and being distracted by trivial matters when he should be getting on with the day job of fixing health services. We consider the latest debate on Agenda. Is the vote of the non elected Bishop any different to the votes of the other eight democratically unaccountable LegCo members? Or is this a necessary change to bring our parliament into the 21st Century?

And, fine, yes, also Mark, with our favourite quizmaster and Film Stories writer coming back to talk about Russell T Davies's most personal drama. Set across the early years of the AIDS crisis, It's a Sin has a cast full of breakthrough young stars, memorable cameos from acting veterans, plus Olly Alexander, whose day job in Years and Years allows us to cover the show. Not that we need much of an excuse to talk about it, or indeed Davies's day job showrunning Doctor Who for its imminent 60th anniversary specials. There's also space for digressions on Prime Ministerial cameos, the real-life inspirations behind the central characters, an appreciation of Erasure and why Russell T Davies must be hopping mad at Stranger Things right now. The T stands for "Thatcherism has left a legacy of death and division", by the way. If you want to fund our dreams of leaving the Isle of Man and becoming an actor, you can donate to our Patreon where you'll get a monthly bonus episode of this show - currently it's one about Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, as if you needed further incentive - plus our other podcasts Last Night... and From the Video Aisle. You'll also get weekly written reviews of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and The X-Files, classic Asian genre cinema under the microscope in Fantastic Asia, and more.

The Isle of Man Government Risks Fanning the Flames of a World on Fire according to the Green Party's Andrew Langan Newton but is he right? The claim is made as government looks to vary the conditions of Crogga's gas exploration licence which has received intense scrutiny in recent Keys sittings. There does seem to be a growing chorus of international organisations and governments suggesting that further attempts to find fossil fuels will cause real danger to the future of humanity but is this just scaremongering? More screetchy green washing or a wake up call for our future - you decide?
Port St. Mary renewables meeting, government funds for building, Crogga Gas possibilities, onshore wind opinion & 35% of incomers leave within five years. It's Mannin Line with Andy Wint #iom #manninline #manxradio

Welcome to a special edition of Island Influencers! We've hit the incredible milestone of our 100th episode! From its humble beginnings, born during the challenging times of the pandemic, the Island Influencers podcast has grown and flourished, and it's all thanks to the unwavering support of our remarkable island influencers and the fantastic Isle of Man community. A heartfelt thank you to each of you who has been a part of this project. As we celebrate this milestone, I'm stepping out of my usual role as the host. I am the interviewee, the Island Influencer of the week! I'm a proud Manx native, and in this episode, I delve into my my childhood memories, relationships, my love for sports and music, which have all been a significant part of my journey. From navigating a career in a male-dominated world to taking leaps of faith, I share the highs and lows that have shaped me into who I am today. It's a candid exploration of my life not forgetting the people who have helped me all the way. Most of all my family and my business family at Thornton Chartered Financial Planners. But this episode isn't just about me. It's about the incredible stories we've shared on this podcast from athletes to entrepreneurs. Episodes are brimming with not just knowledge and inspiration, but genuine stories that will have you laughing one minute and perhaps shedding a tear the next. It's been a privilege for me to hear these stories and an absolute honour to share them with you. Looking ahead, I've got exciting plans for the future, not just involving bagpipes and greenhouses! But I do have an overarching deep passion for helping people. So here's to the next 100 episodes, filled with more knowledge, inspiration and fun.
BERMUDA SHORTS – TECH TALKS S01 E16Technology by nature is a constantly changing industry, and with the introduction of AI technology, more changes are surely coming. In this ‘Tech Talks' episode, members of Appleby's Technology & Innovation practice in Bermuda discuss some of the changes – and the inherent challenges, threats and opportunities for Bermuda, and more broadly. The technology team includes our podcast host, Partner Jerome Wilson, who speaks to Partner Duncan Card about AI technology, Associate Carl Meyer about the digital asset industry, and Associate Karim Creary on how Bermuda's tech industry growth may bring more alternative energy sources to the island such as energy storage centres and modular reactors, and what regulation will be needed to support this growth.

The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That's the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don't care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)==========HOUR TWO: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth? Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it's now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018? (The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You'll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Robert Ressler came up against a lot of resistance, but his dedicated focus on the minds and motives of serial murderers created what we know today as criminal profiling. (The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't.

First, Celestia goes over her high points and low points of CSI Con 2023, then we move on to a few tidbits Ben came across. Sharon Hill joins us again, this time for a main segment on Gef the talking mongoose, a celebrity on the Isle of Man back in the 1930s. A new movie delves into (and somewhat mangles) the mystery, featuring Simon Pegg as Nandor Fodor and Christopher Lloyd as Harry Price. The "mystery" of Gef tapdances around so many facets of Forteana... a talking animal, "earth spirit," clairvoyance, poltergeists, psychic manifestations, and a clever young girl with time on her hands. With Sharon's help, we go over what the records say, what British libel law curtailed the records from saying, and what the movie tries to say today.

Her Instagram is @freiraum.buch In our conversation we talk about what brought Aurelia to the Isle of Man, a small, independent island off the coast of England, and her study at West Dean College of Art and Conservation. We talk about what happens when you get a book restored, and Guy recommends the bookbinder in Colchester who restored his copy of Alfred Hutton's The Sword and the Centuries. (Colin Brown, at Cuckoo Farm Studios. bindingarrangement.co.uk). The aim is not to modernise the book, but instead to make it look as if nothing has been done to it. No modernisation. Aurelia describes how to repair paper and how to clean it. Amazingly, if dry cleaning doesn't work you can just wash it, and she explains how it's done. Click here for some before and after images of books and paper that Aurelia has worked on: https://swordschool.com/podcast/washing-paper-and-restoring-books-with-aurelia-sedlmair/ Of course, this wouldn't be the Sword Guy Podcast without talking about swords. Aurelia is a rapier and smallsword fencer, though there's not much of it happening on the Isle of Man. We talk about the brilliance of smallsword and also about how to encourage beginners to give historical martial arts a try.

Scott Pelley sits down with FBI Director Christopher Wray and intelligence chiefs from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand to ask whether the Israel-Hamas war has raised the terror threat at home in the United States and around the globe. Margaret Brennan conducts the first interview with one of the five American prisoners freed from Iran last month. With 200 hostages reportedly being held in Gaza, and 13 Americans unaccounted for, Emad Shargi's harrowing story is a stark illustration of the difficulties and perils involved in bringing citizens home. Cecilia Vega profiles international punk rock, pop princess, Alecia Moore - also known as Pink - as she hits 25 years of her successful music-making career. Vega meets Pink at her home in California, stops backstage on her tour and traces her somewhat troubled journey to superstardom. Bill Whitaker reports from the Isle of Man on the longest-running and most dangerous motorcycle race on earth: The Isle of Man TT. Once the seat of a Viking Kingdom, the 30 mile-long island sits in the middle of the Irish Sea, with England to the east and Ireland to the west. Whitaker examines the distinct Manx identity and the role a collision of cultures played in shaping such a wild and improbable race.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
