cryptid-wendigo:

Some of the things that Gef the Talking Mongoose had said were written word for word in James Irving’s personal diary. It is thought that Voirrey Irving was behind it all using ventriloquism. 

• “I am not evil. I could be if I wanted. You don’t know what damage or harm I could do if I were roused. I could kill you all, but I won’t.” 
  

• “I am a ghost in the form of a weasel, and I shall haunt you with weird noises and clanking chains.” 
  

• “Of course I know what I am, and you are not going to get to know, and you are only grizzled because I won’t tell you. I might let you see me some time, but thou wilt never get to know what I am.” 
  

• “I have three attractions.  I follow Voirrey, Mam gives me food, and Jim answers my questions.” 
  

• “I’ll split the atom! I am the fifth dimension! I am the eighth wonder of the world!” 
  

• “If you are kind to me, I will bring you good luck. If you are not kind, I shall kill all your poultry. I can get them wherever you put them!”
