Some interesting sites
Speck although a fantastic creature will have some basis in fact. I think I’ll give him his own name, and make him an everygecko species- maybe the magic coconut can give him the powers of flight.

Geckos have always been my good friends since they ate the flies and spiders in my Brisbane laundry, I thank the little fellows whenever we meet and appreciate the one who lives in our mailbox. I am sure you can find something to do with Angus–ghost searching perhaps? The CPO
Yeah ghosts sounds good! Ghosts of crickets maybe not? They might feel a bit upset with Speck..
Speck is on a ghost busting adventure and i have also found a model for him- a delightful soft toy filled with sand!
