Manx history
How the Isle of Man Steam Railway Survived Against All Odds
The railway opened in 1873. Less than a century later it had closed. How part of the line was rescued and returned to steam.
On ReallyByte: the southern steam line and a Manx railway chronology on Manx Railways, and how steam engines work.
Manx mystery
Gef the Talking Mongoose: The Isle of Man’s Strangest Mystery
From 1931, a remote farmhouse near Dalby and a family who said a talking mongoose lived in their walls. Animal, poltergeist, hoax, or something stranger?
On ReallyByte: Gef: a report is not a verdict, on Manx Folklore, which keeps the story apart from the evidence.
A real Manx case
