Publisher's summary
After encountering Harry Price, the Doctor decides to solve an infamous case before the paranormal debunker can.
But Liv and Helen are more concerned for the girl at the centre of events. What is really going on at the remote Isle of Man farmhouse? And who is Gef, the talking mongoose?
Plot
Part one
The Doctor, Liv and Helen materialise on the Isle of Man after the psychic paper received a message containing coordinates. They visit the Douglas Gaiety Theatre and are surprised by Mister Timms' abilities when he asks for a Liv who arrived in a blue carriage, but the act is interrupted by Harry Price. Price labels him a fraud and claims that he gets his information from the manager of the Caledonian Hotel; the reason he has come to the Isle of Man, however, is to expose the talking mongoose Gef, known as the Dalby Spook.
