The article describes parapsychologist Nandor Fodor’s investigations on poltergeists. Written not long after the Seaford Poltergeist case, the author looks back at Fodor’s previous investigations. In a 1936 investigation in London, Fodor advised a homeowner to fire their maid, who he believed to be responsible for the haunting. After she left, the rapping sounds in the house stopped. But another case in the 1930s went unsolved — that of the talking mongoose named Gef.
