An internet urban legend about a supposedly haunted Jewish wine cabinet
auctioned on eBay in 2004 spawned not only a book and a blockbuster
horror film but also a rising trend in selling so-called “haunted” items
on eBay.
The tale of the dybbuk box has appeared on the internet on and off since 2004 but it only came to media attention with the release of The Possession, a 2012 film about a girl who is possessed by an evil spirit residing in an old wooden box. Her parents seek help from an Orthodox Jewish rabbi.
In Jewish mythology, a dybbuk (from Hebrew adhere or cling) is a malicious spirit.
