Not on the Isle of Man you won't unless it is a smoked fish. I was there several times in the late 90s and they would publish in the Douglas Herald the crimes and punishments meted out to island folk and visitors alike. Try 14 days in jail for spitting in public, 1 month in jail for possession of 1g of Cannabis (that was reduced because the guy was a visitor from France and came forward with the drug as he thought the notice about drugs at the ferry-port was like a sort of amnesty) that sort of thing. The IoM was the last place in the UK to abolish the "Birch", the last administered birching being in 1965 to a visitor from Glasgow for being drunk and disorderly. FKW it was like in the 1930s. Nice place though.

Some people don't have that switch in their brains that tells them that it was only their imagination, for them the danger/object merely had an alternative explanation.

Fact: He says all his "th" sounds like "f" and "v" because he has enormous 2 front teeth. He can't say the "th" sound properly because the teeth are too long for his tongue to make the sound. It's not just because of the word "thoughty". Listen to all the other words he says. Like "three" is pronounced "free", "other" is pronounced "uver", etc. It's actually quite distracting considering that it can be easily fixed.

There are, however, people on You Tube who happily talk about the conversations they have with their pets. Telepathy? On another occasion, whilst tripping with a group of people, someone picked up the cat and said to it: "Look here cat! We've had this conversation before!"

I remember captain kangaroo reading it on his tv show back in the late 60/70s🥰

[@fizzie6902]

He'll never die. He is a freak.

[@Limbzbiscuits]

The mongoose's voice and dialogues has some serious dark souls vibes

[@SinPandoaa]

Dark souls 3 eeeek

I was waiting for something Ghostbusters after the “theres something strange in the neighborhood” line and you did not fail me👍

I appreciate it that you are down to earth. It was her that was doing it most likely... However you said that it replied to her and wouldn't her family notice? Maybe they decided to fake it and were all in it.

I heard that he's an extra clever, earthbound spirit that is a ghost in a form of a mongoose :)

[@SaintMatthieuSimard]

"Was Gef simply a product of Voirrey's imagination? Well... Yes. Probably." [10/10], [10/10] [10/10], [9/10], [10/10]! You gentleman win the internet for today!

[@ericbrown7990]

Thoughty2 here to give us the cold hard facts. Also thoughty2: play raid

[@MikeDragon]

"Extra clever earthbound spirit Ghost in the form of a mongoose And I have hands and I have feet I'll never die, I am a freak Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall I know, I might be small but I am a freak Thou wilt never know what I am I am the fifth dimension and I will split the atom And if you see me, you're paralyzed Pillar of salt, you're mummified" Soon as I read the title of the video, my mind went _straight_ to that song. You know the one.

[@NoelMcGinnis]

Actually I have a pet ferret named “Shoyo” who does EXACTLY the same things that Gef did. Maybe Gef was reincarnated! 🤔

[@Smorgasvord]

Wait what? He actually spoke?

[@wisdon]

@@Smorgasvord we never witnessed him spoke, but our dog bows when they meet and call him "master"

[@NoelMcGinnis]

@@Smorgasvord Yes. SHE spoke. So evidently Gef was reincarnated as a girl. Apparently six years ago since Shoyo is six. I’m just so relieved to know where she got this weird ability to speak. Not to mention the attitude. 😂

[@Loukgob]

He did come from India after all, so reincarnation doesn't seem too far fetched.

[@littlewillowlinda]

@@NoelMcGinnis time to post a video 😅

[@debrajohnson18]

Can’t prove it can’t disprove it. The Universe is vast. Possibilities endless. I believe it. You’re a great storyteller. 🤩🎤🥇Thanks 😊

[@nintendontdothat7308]

Thoughty2: Gef most likely didn't exist. Gef behind the camera holding him at gunpoint: Mention my fucking talent. Thoughty2: *sweating* He was also multilingual.

[@MrEHD-fj1bz]

I think it will be an outstanding scenario for a comedy movie

[@vendaval8431]

Now I finally understand Lemon Demon's song "Eigth Wonder". Hate that it took me so long

"Geff, tell the weather." "It´s gonna rain switch-blades you asshat Проклет да си!" "Geff is such a nice ghost."

Gef was a coping mechanism caused by her father's molestation of her throughout her childhood. Poor girl

[@AndytheWhite]

As a regular viewer from the Isle of Man, I’m afraid I missed most of this video. The involuntary “he’s talking about the Isle of Man!” Reflex kicked in and I spent the last 20mins telling all my friends. We’re a fun bunch over here.

Ah yes, I had the same reaction! 🇮🇲

Yet another great video from Thoughty2. Love your channel Arran ( & the braces are very cool too 😎) ,& all these amazing stories, no matter how weird or spooky they may be, you always make it fun. Keep up with the good work. ( Sorry but I can't help out financially with your channel).

I DID IT FOR THE DEVILMENT! Good video, man! I love this little guy. Anybody want to hear more about this awesome talking mongoose please go listen to last podcast on the left. They have an awesome series on him

[@struanwestley4329]

Another classic Thoughty! Love your work and humour bud you keep me sane and educated! Keep churning them out please bud. But take afew weeks when you need a break. Everyone needs a holiday.

How about doing a video on Raid Shadow Legends and how it has managed to dominate the ad space...

[@HansNdjaba1]

Gef: My name is Gef Me: 22 Jump Street 😂😂😂

[@montgomery9145]

An episode based on the Paranormal would be great

[@michaelmcatee221]

The production value of thoufhty2 is amazing and his narration is so spirited and full of personality!

[@Semirouser]

It was an alien who turned into a mongoose to observe humans.

[@Akashmccullum]

Ehhh thoughtyy ehhhh Love the accent man!

[@jeremybenoit759]

In all fairness to the supposed strangling of rabbits by this mythical creature, this is generally how rabbit snare traps work anyways, he didn't do anything that the average rabbit trap would not, we just usually don't use our hands lol

[@SpookyTanukiGaming]

Fun fact: Eighth Wonder by Lemon Demon is based on this mongoose.

[@ubermenschnuts81]

Yeah, I think most of the people who clicked on this knew about that song

[@ryona5476]

I knew that sounded familiar

[@Meerkat_2110]

Fun fact meerkats are related to mongooses

[@seanbrazell6147]

THAT would be one stable genius of a mongoose.

[@suzannax]

Haven't watched it yet, it's Gef isn't it 🇮🇲 Edit: btw Gef the mongoose is the name of a news site here now and even has a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram page.

[@PiousLifejannah]

”scratching” ”barking” growling” ”spitting” ”blowing” oh my geff knew what he was doing lmao.
