queerkeitcoven:hellyeacreepyshit:The Dybbuk Box (or Dibbuk Box) is the commonly used name of a wine cabinet which is supposedly haunted by a Dybbuk; a Jewish spirit. The box achieved recognition after it was auctioned on eBay with an accompanying horror story.The origin of the box dates back to November 10, 1938, the date when a group of women living in the Lodz ghetto of pre World War II Poland were supposed to have conducted a seance during which the women attempted to trap an evil spirit they had helped to manifest from the “other” side Having survived the holocost of World War II, the original creator of the Dibbuk Box was supposed to have emigrated, with the box, to the United States where she died in 2001. Mannis, a writer and small business owner, purportedly bought the Dibbuk Box at an estate sale/auction of the woman’s estate that year. The survivor’s granddaughter told the buyer that the box had been kept in her grandmother’s sewing room and was never opened as a dybbuk - an evil spirit from Jewish folklore - lived inside. The furniture restorer offered to give the box back to the granddaughter, who became hysterical and refused to take it.On opening the box the buyer found that it contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blonde hair bound with hemp cord, a lock of brown hair bound with hemp cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word Shalom, a small wine goblet, two dried rose buds, and a single candle holder with 4 octopus shaped legs.[2]Numerous owners of the box have reported that strange phenomenon accompany it. Iosif Neitzke, the last person to auction the box on eBay, claimed that the box caused lights to burn out in his house and his hair to fall out. The furniture restorer claimed that the box was responsible for a series of horrific nightmares shared with other people while they were in possession of the box. His mother is supposed to have suffered a stroke on the same day he gave her the box as a birthday present - October 31. Every owner of the box has reported that a smell of cat urine, and Jasmine flowers and nightmares involving an old hag accompany the box.Source Wiki.some seasonal spookiness of the Jewish magic variety! -- source link
