The Dibbuk Box Contains an Ancient, Malevolent Spirit
A dibbuk box is a wine cabinet which, according to Jewish folklore, is
said to be haunted by a restless, evil spirit that is capable of
haunting and possessing the living. One particular dibbuk box became
famous when it was listed on eBay along with a terrifying backstory.
The
story began in September of 2001, when an antique buyer and refinisher
attended an estate sale in Portland, Oregon. The auction was held to
sell off the belongings of a 103-year-old woman, and her granddaughter
informed the antique dealer of the woman's past when she noticed that he
had purchased a simple wooden wine cabinet. The old woman had been
Jewish, the only one of her family members to have survived her time in a
Nazi concentration camp during World War II. When she immigrated to
the United States, the wine cabinet and two other items were the only
things she brought with her.
The woman's granddaughter explained
that her grandmother had always kept the box hidden away, and said that
it should never, ever be opened because it contained a malicious spirit
called a dibbuk. She requested that the box be buried with her, but
since doing so went against Jewish tradition, her family did not oblige.
When the antique dealer asked the granddaughter if she would like to
keep the box for sentimental reasons, the woman vehemently refused,
becoming very upset and saying, "We made a deal! You have to take it!"
The
dealer took his purchase back to his shop and placed it in his workshop
in the basement. Immediately, strange and frightening things started
happening. He was called by his frantic shop assistant, who said that
the lights had gone out, the doors and security gates had locked, and
she heard terrible sounds coming from the basement. When he
investigated, he discovered a terrible odor of cat urine lingering in
the air, and every light bulb in the place had been smashed.
The
dealer gave the wine box to his mother as a gift, and the woman
immediately suffered a major stroke. In the hospital, she spelled out,
"H-A-T-E G-I-F-T" as tears spilled from her eyes uncontrollably. He
attempted to give the gift to several more people, but it was always
returned to him within a few days, usually because people just didn't
like it, or because they felt that something about it was evil. He
began suffering from a recurring nightmare, and he later found that all
of his family members who had been around the box were having the same
dream. He started seeing shadow figures darting around in his
peripheral vision, as well.
After finally admitting that there
was something paranormal happening, he went online to research and fell
asleep at his computer. When he woke up, he felt like something was
breathing on his neck, and when he turned his head he saw a huge shadow
figure dashing away from him down the hall. He then decided to list the
item on eBay, along with a detailed account of what had happened to him
since obtaining the box.
Jason Haxton, the curator of a medical museum in Missouri, purchased the box from the eBay auction. He later wrote
a book detailing the strange story of the dibbuk box, and in 2012, a horror movie based on the book entitled
The Possession was released.

Annabelle, The Doll Possessed by a Lying Demon
In 1970, a woman shopping in a thrift store bought a Raggedy-Ann style
doll for her daughter, who was in college. Her daughter liked it and
put it in her apartment, but soon she and her roommate both noticed odd
things happening involving the doll. It would move by itself, often
being found in another room even though no one had touched it. They
found small scraps of parchment paper, which they didn't even own, with
childish handwriting scrawled on them. They even found the doll
standing impossibly on its rag doll legs one day.
The frightened
girls contacted a psychic medium, who told them that the doll was
possessed by the spirit of a young girl who had died in the apartment
building. "Annabelle" said that she liked the college girls, and wanted
to stay with them, so they told her that she could. Unfortunately,
granting the spirit this permission lead to increased paranormal
activity in their apartment, including having a male friend get attacked
by the doll one night, leaving vicious scratch marks all over his chest
and torso.
At their wit's end, the girls contacted renowned
psychic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The married duo soon
found that the doll is not possessed by the spirit of a child at all;
rather, it is possessed by a demon who had lied about its identity in
order to get close to the girls, perhaps intending to possess one or
both of them. The girls gave "Annabelle" to the Warrens, who encased it
in a glass display cabinet in their Occult Museum in Connecticut. The
sign on the glass reads, “Warning: Positively Do Not Open.”

The "eBay Haunted Painting” Causes Sickness, Screaming, and Fear
In 2000, an anonymous eBay seller listed a painting created by artist
Bill Stoneham called "The Hands Resist Him." This painting is now
largely considered to be one of the world's most haunted works of art.
The
painting features a boy and a creepy doll standing in front of a glass
door. The painting was created in 1972 and purchased by Hollywood actor
John Marley. It was then bought by a California couple before going up
for sale on eBay along with a dire warning about the problems involved
with owning the object.
According to the couple, the figures in
the painting moved around at night, sometimes disappearing from the
canvas entirely. The boy in the painting was said to actually enter the
room where the painting hung, and everyone who viewed the painting
reported feeling sick and weak. Small children would take one look at
the painting and run from the room screaming. Adults sometimes felt
like unseen hands were grabbing them, and others said that they felt a
blast of hot air, as if they had opened an oven.
Even those who
viewed the painting online claimed to feel a sense of unease, dread, or
terror when looking at the painting. One person even claimed that their
brand new printer refused to print the photo of the painting, however
it worked fine on every other print job.
The painting was
purchased by an art gallery in Grand Rapids, MI. When the gallery spoke
to the artist who had created it, he was surprised to hear that his
work was at the center of a paranormal investigation, but he did mention
that two people who originally displayed and reviewed the painting had
died within a year of viewing "The Hands Resist Him."

The Myrtles Plantation Mirror Contains the Spirits of a Woman and Her Children
Myrtles Plantation is an allegedly haunted bed and breakfast that is
largely considered to be the most haunted home in the United States, as
well as one of the most haunted houses in the world. The plantation
dates back to 1796, and it was built on a Native American burial ground.
Additionally, it is rumored to be the location of at least ten
murders, and paranormal events are an almost daily occurrence.
Perhaps
the most haunted item on the premises is a mirror that was added to the
home in 1980. Guests of the plantation have reported seeing figures
lurking in the mirror, as well as child-sized handprints on the glass.
Legend claims that the mirror contains the spirits of Sara Woodruff and
her children. The Woodruffs were poisoned to death, and though custom
dictates that mirrors should be covered after death to prevent spirits
from getting trapped, this mirror was not covered, so the belief is that
the Woodruff souls are very much present and active within the mirror.

Haunted Wedding Dress Dances On Its Own
In 1849, a girl from a rich family named Anna Baker fell in love with a
low class iron worker. Anna's father, Ellis Baker, refused to let her
marry her beloved, banishing the young man from their hometown of
Altoona, Pennsylvania and dooming his daughter to a life of
spinsterhood. Anna was so angry with her father that she never fell in
love or married, and remained bitter and angry until her death in 1914.
Before
her father sent her true love away, Anna had chosen a beautiful wedding
dress that she intended to wear at their wedding. When the wedding did
not occur, another wealthy woman from a local family, Elizabeth Dysart,
wore the dress instead, gloating the entire time. Years later, the
wedding dress was given to an historical society, and eventually the
Baker mansion was turned into a museum. The wedding dress was placed in
a glass case in what was formerly Anna Baker's bedroom. After her
death, visitors claim to see the dress move on its own, especially
during full moons. The dress sways from side to side, as if an unseen
bride is standing in front of her mirror, admiring herself in the gown.
Investigators
who have searched for drafts and other naturally occurring
circumstances have come up empty handed. No one can be sure why the
dress sometimes moves by itself, though many speculate that the spurned
bride, Anna Baker, has reclaimed her dress at last.

Chairs Push People Out of Them and Make People Feel Sick
Newport, Rhode Island is one of the oldest towns in the United States.
Settled in 1690, by the early twentieth century the seaport town had
become a hot summer destination for some of America's wealthiest
families. The mansions of Newport are legendary, as are the many ghost
stories that accompany buildings that have been around for so long.
Belcourt
Castle was founded by Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, a wealthy American
socialite and politician, in 1894. There are many different documented
hauntings within this lavish home, but perhaps the most famous haunted
objects in the castle are two chairs that reportedly have spirits
attached to them. Visitors who sit in the chairs say they immediately
feel cold, queasy, and uncomfortable. Their hands feel like they're
pricked by static electricity when held near the chairs, and many people
have claimed that they've felt like they're sitting on someone when
they attempt to sit in the chairs. Several visitors have actually been
ejected from the chairs by an unseen force.

Haunted Doll Curses Those Who Take His Picture Without Permission
In 1896, this creepy doll belonged to a child named Robert Eugene Otto
in Key West, Florida. The doll had been given to him by a servant who
practiced black magic, and who disliked the boy's family. The little
boy adored his doll, and would often talk to him at length. Servants in
the Otto home became concerned, however, when they swore they could
hear a phantom voice talking back to the boy, and neighbors claimed to
have seen the doll moving from window to window in the Otto house when
no one was at home.
Soon, the doll started causing mischief, and
the frightened child would claim that he had no part in it. Rooms would
be messed up, vases smashed, and little Robert would be blamed, even
though he seemed extremely afraid and insisted that his doll had done
the deeds.
Robert inherited the house and died in 1972, so the
house was purchased by another family. A little girl who had just
moved into the home found the doll in the attic and was instantly afraid
of it. She said the doll was alive and wanted to kill her. The doll
finally wound up at an art gallery and historical museum in Key West,
where it remains on display to this day. Oddly enough, visitors to the
museum claim that they must ask permission to take a photograph of the
doll. If they don't, legend has it that the doll will curse you. The
museum displays letters from so-called "cursed" individuals who have
written to the doll, apologizing for not asking to take his picture, and
asking to be released from his spell.

The Women from Lemb Statue Brings Death to All Owners
Nicknamed "The Goddess of Death," The Women from Lemb is a statue carved
from pure limestone that was discovered in 1878 in Lemb, Cypruss. The
item dates back to 3500 B.C., and is believed to represent a goddess,
similar to a fertility idol. The statue was first owned by Lord
Elphont, and within six years of having the statue in his possession,
all seven of the Elphont family members had died from mysterious causes.
Both
of the next two owners, Ivor Manucci and Lord Thompson-Noel, also died
along with their entire families just a few short years after taking
the statue into their homes.
The fourth owner, Sir Alan
Biverbrook, died as well, along with his wife and two of their
daughters. Two of Biverbrook's sons remained, and though they weren't
big believers in the occult, they were scared enough by the sudden and
strange deaths of four of their family members that they decided to
donate the statue to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, where it
remains today.
Shortly after the item was placed in the museum,
the chief of the section where the statue dwelled suddenly died as well,
though no museum curator will admit that the statue may have
supernatural properties. No one has handled the statue since that first
museum worker who passed away, and the item is safely under glass and
protected from human hands.

"The Anguished Man" Captured On Video
This scary-looking painting was kept in Sean Robinson's grandmother's
attic for twenty-five years before he inherited it from her. She had
always told Robinson that the painting was evil, explaining how the
artist who created it had used his own blood mixed with the paint, and
had killed himself shortly after completing it. She claimed to hear
voices and crying when the painting was displayed, and to see the
shadowy figure of a man in her house, which is why she locked it away in
the attic.
As soon as Robinson took the painting into his home,
he and his family started experiencing the same kinds of creepy
phenomenon. His son fell down the stairs, his wife felt something
stroking her hair, and they saw the shadow man and heard crying.
Robinson
decided to set up a camera overnight to try to capture some of the
strange events on tape. Robinson's YouTube videos show slamming doors,
rising smoke, and the painting falling from a wall for no reason.
Frightened, Robinson soon put the painting down in his basement, but he is not interested in selling it.

The Cursed "Chair of Death" Kills All Who Sit in It
In 1702, a convicted murderer named Thomas Busby was about to be hanged
for his crimes. His last request was to have his final meal served at
his favorite pub in Thirsk, England. He finished his meal, stood up,
and said, "May sudden death come to anyone who dare sit in my chair."
The
chair remained in the pub for centuries, and patrons would often dare
one another to sit in the cursed seat. During World War II, airmen from
a nearby base frequented the pub, and locals noticed that the soldiers
who sat in the chair would never return from war.
In 1967, two
Royal Air Force pilots sat in the chair, only to crash their truck into a
tree just after they left. In 1970, a mason tested his fate in the hot
seat, only to die that same afternoon by falling into a hole at his job
site. A year after that, a roofer who sat in it died after the roof he
was working on collapsed. When the pub's cleaning lady tripped and
fell into the chair, she died shortly afterwards from a brain tumor.
This
list goes on, and finally the pub owner moved the chair into the
basement. Unfortunately, even in storage the chair claimed another
victim. After a delivery man took a quick rest while unloading packages
in the store room, he was killed in a car accident that same day.
Eventually,
the pub owner donated the chair to the local museum in 1972. The
museum displays the chair by hanging it five feet in the air so that no
one can possibly sit in it by mistake again. Fortunately, no one has
sat in the chair since
