Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film is based on real events. The Case of the Talking Moongose or of the Dalby Spook really took place in the Isle of Man in the 1930. A local family, the Irvings, claimed to have a spirit in the form of a talking mongoose called Gef. The case attracted the attention of skeptics and psychics alike, but most contemporary critics agreed it was most likely a hoax. See more » |
| Goofs | The story of Houdini's wife making contact after his death with a secret code being revealed by a "psychic" did take place, but later revealed to have been faked. See more » |

| Quotes |
Nandor Fodor:
None of this bothers you. These people obsessed with an entity that they cannot even reliably prove is real. That it is adults ... perpetuating this nonsense. Men and women who are, for all intents and purposes, ordinary functioning members of society. See more » |
