The more I hear about cryptids, the more I admire the audacity of the Gef the Talking Mongoose story. No fleeting glimpses, no possibly that it's a bear. This is an annoying little beast who won't shut up. We reached a truce where we wouldn't try to kill him and he would let us know if we left the stove on. He said his name was Jeff but he spelled it Gef because mongooses can't spell. Now that's a cryptid.
