Episode 64 - Reptiles, Rodents, and Rumors

from Ope, A Ghost · host Heaven and Jonathan

This week, we’re diving into the wonderfully bizarre world of cryptids where folklore meets the downright unbelievable. First, we travel to the windswept Isle of Man in the 1930s, where a talking mongoose named Gef supposedly made a family’s farmhouse his home, leaving behind one of the strangest legends in paranormal history. Was Gef a ghost, a hoax, or a creature from somewhere beyond the ordinary? Then we head to the murky backroads of Bishopville, South Carolina, to meet the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp—a reptilian beast that terrorized locals and left claw marks on cars in the 1980s. With one cryptid chattering in the walls and another lurking in the shadows, we’ll unravel the tales, the evidence, and why these stories still spark fascination (and a few goosebumps) today.bBsSb5I5ltlor9uLYNJzIn Paranormal News - Possible fairy caught on camera?Fatemag - Gef the talking Mongoose / 30 years laterGarrett Collection - GefAtlas Obscura - The Bizzare Story of Gef the Talking MongooseCryptid Wiki - GefExcerpt from My Diary in the House of the Talking Mongoose pg. 39The Harry Price Website - The Talking MongooseSwamp Ape Review – Lizard ManThe City of Bishopville – Lizard ManCrypto Zoo News – Lizard ManCryptid WikiU.S. Department of Mythical WildlifeSouth of Spooky PodcastSend us Fan MailIf you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at [email protected]   You can also follow us on Instagram,  Join our Facebook group :  Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
