Case 122: Gef The Mongoose: Demon? Entity? or Hoax?

During the mid-1930s, the British and overseas newspapers were filled with extraordinary tales of Gef, a creature referred to as a "talking mongoose" or "man-weasel," which was said to have appeared in the home of the Irvings, a farming family residing in a remote area of the Isle of Man.According to reports, the creature was capable of speaking in various languages, singing, stealing objects from nearby farms, and eavesdropping on local individuals.Despite the presence of written reports, magazine articles, books, several photographs, fur samples, paw prints, extensive correspondence, and eyewitness accounts, there is still no real agreement on what precisely happened to the Irving family.Was it a hoax?An extreme case of shared psychosis?A poltergeist? The result of an animal being possessed by an evil spirit? This case was so unique it attracted Nandor Fodor and Harry Price as they tried to figure out what was really going on.There are many theories - which on is true?Let find out more about this story and see if we can come to a conclusion.What do you think is the truth?Consider supporting our work by buying us a "cup of coffee" https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenataORbecome a Grand Poobah Patreon supporter, and join our inner circle of craziness!https://www.patreon.com/anneandrenataJoin us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

Case 121: The Church of Bones Sedlec Ossuary Czech Republic - A place where death is around every corner

The Church of Bones | Sedlec Ossuary“The house smelled musty and damp — and a little sweet, as if it were haunted by the ghosts of long-dead cookies.”So… what kind of place smells like dead cookies?Welcome to the Sedlec Ossuary — better known as The Church of Bones.From the outside, this small Gothic church near the picturesque Czech city of Kutná Hora looks unassuming, even quaint. But descend into the basement and you’ll find something profoundly unsettling.Chandeliers made entirely of human bones.Towering bone pyramids.Skulls marked with bullet holes.This is not a set piece.This is not folklore.This is real.The bones of tens of thousands of people were exhumed, bleached, carved, and arranged into ornate — and deeply macabre — works of art that now coat the walls, ceilings, and altars of this underground chapel.Why were they placed here?Who decided this was sacred art rather than sacrilege?And does a space built from the dead ever truly rest?In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata explore the history, legends, and chilling atmosphere of one of the most disturbing religious sites on Earth — a place where mortality is impossible to ignore, and the dead quite literally surround you.☕ Support the podcastBuy us a “cup of coffee”:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenata👑 Become a Grand Poobah PatronJoin our inner circle of chaos and curiosity:https://www.patreon.com/anneandrenata📘 Join the communityFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcast🎙 More from Anne & Renata• Diary of a Ghost Hunter — our real lives as female ghost hunters (no bulls**t)• Seriously Weird — spooky storytelling on YouTube• Frightfully Good Misadventures — travel with a dark twist📱 Follow us everywhereFacebook | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok@AnneAndRenata#anneandrenata #truehauntings #paranormalpodcast #sedlecossuary #churchofbones #hauntedczechrepublic #bonechurch #skeletons #darkhistory #hauntedplaces #frightfullygood Hosted on Acast.

Case 115: Licking County Jail - The Closest thing to Hell

Described as “The Closest Thing to Hell,” on a sign made by an inmate incarcerated for stealing chickens, the Licking County Jail ceased operations in 1987 after 98 years of operation.Experienced investigators and guests have captured full blown apparitions, recorded ghastly EVPs that chill to the bone, encountered disembodied voices, chanting and the slamming of jail cell doors. This place has had some very sensational, and memorable inmates, including Laura Devlin, who was given another name after her dastardly crime, so it’s highly likely that many of them will still be calling this place home.In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we lock ourselves away with the dead and deadly inmates of Old Licking County Jail.Many thanks to Adelaide's Haunted Horizons for their soundscape from Licking Jail.Check out their YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/@haunted-horizonsPlease share with your friends, and consider becoming a Patreon (Grand Poobah is the best one :) but we are grateful for all support) and supporting our workpatreon.com/anneandrenataJoin us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.
