Axe Murder

Today I am writing to you about a more well-known story, the story of the Dybbuk Box.

A dybbuk box starts it’s life as a wine cabinet and at some point becomes haunted by an ancient and evil spirit.

The dybbuk box we are talking about today came up for sale on eBay, along with it’s unsettling back story.

In this story there was a yard sale, selling the belongings of a lady who was 103 years old. She survived the Nazi concentration camps and emigrated to the USA. She only brought three things with her and a wine cabinet was one of them. The person purchased the wine cabinet and the woman’s granddaughter explained that her 103-year-old grandmother had always kept the box hidden away and it must never be opened because it holds within it an evil spirit.

The buyer took the cabinet home to his shop. Immediately things started going wrong, lights all suffered broken bulbs, the shops security gates would lock, a rank stench of cat wee filled the shop and sounds would emanate from the cabinet. The buyer did not believe in the box being cursed and gave it to his mther as a gift and she immedeatly suffered a stroke. She survived in hospital but was non verbal, she was able to spell out to her son that she hated the gift however.

The buyer attempted to offload the box to others but it always returned, he started having nightmares, as did everyone who had been around the box. The he started seeing shadow people at the edges of his vision.

He finally tired to sell the box on eBay and was successful, it was purchased by Jason Haxton who wrote a book about it which was made into a film, The Possession.
