VYS0053 | The Mongoose Files - Vayse to Face with Gayle Fidler - Show notes
Ever since their childhood days reading the Usborne Book of Ghosts, Hine and Buckley have been obsessing over the mysterious mercurial mammalian Manx marvel - Gef the Talking Mongoose. And finally bringing Gef chat to Vayse is writer, paranormal researcher and selectively supportive spouse to a lard eating champion, Gayle Fidler.
In recent years Gayle and her curious collective of cryptid-hunters have made a pilgrimage to the Isle of Man to investigate Gef and immerse themselves in strangeness of his story. Her incredible adventures include some uncanny synchronicities, an unlikely team-up with a movie star, an unexpected connection to Aleister Crowley... and the unpredictable guidance of a certain Dr Allen Greenfield...
