   A dybbuk box, or dibbuk box, is a wine cabinet which is said to be haunted by a dybbuk. In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a restless, usually malicious, spirit believed to be able to haunt and even possess the living. The box achieved recognition was auctioned on eBay with an accompanying horror story.

   The term “Dibbuk Box” was first used by Kevin Mannis to describe the box in the item information for an eBay auction to describe it as the subject of an original story describing supposedly true events which he considered to be related to the box.
According to Mannis’ story, he purportedly bought the box at an estate sale in 2003. It had belonged to a Polish Holocaust survivor named Havela, who had escaped to Spain and purchased it there before her immigration to the United States. Havela’s granddaughter told Mannis that the box had been bought in Spain after the Holocaust. Upon hearing that the box was a family heirloom, Mannis offered to give the box back to the family but the granddaughter insisted that he take it. “We don’t want it”, she said. She told him the box had been kept in her grandmother’s sewing room and was never opened because a dybbuk was said to live inside it.

   On opening the box, Mannis found that it contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blonde hair bound with cord, a lock of black/brown hair bound with cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word “Shalom”, a small, golden wine goblet, one dried rose bud, and a single candle holder with four octopus-shaped legs; all items supposedly used in Jewish folklore to exorcise demons.

   Numerous owners of the box have reported that strange phenomena accompany it. In his story, Mannis claimed he experienced a series of horrific nightmares shared with other people while they were in possession of the box or when they stayed at his home while he had it.
