![]() ![]() An older couple bought the box, only to leave it back at the store's door within days saying the box had an "odd darkness about it". Kevin realized that the common denominator in the situation was the box. ![]() Kevin saw the terror in his mother's eyes. Kevin returned to find his mother incapacitated by a stroke. She felt a cold evil from it, and it kept her from moving or speaking. Kevin was called away shortly after giving her the box. Later that October, Kevin thought he'd found the perfect birthday gift for his mother: the box. Kevin blamed Jane for the damage, as he could see no other explanation. When he finally found Jane, she swore at him and walked out, never to return. All of the four-foot fluorescent bulbs had been cast to the ground. Pulling a flashlight, Kevin went to find Jane. When Kevin finally got there, the wrought-iron door into the basement is locked. ![]() It sounded like something was taking a baseball bat to the inventory. She called Kevin, begging him to come back to the store. When she went to investigate, glass started breaking. When Jane stepped away to answer the phone, she heard a noise, and knew something was wrong. She had spent hours in the basement alone before, even to the point of being able to walk throught it in the dark, but never had she felt that sensation of being watched. Jane Howerton, Kevin's sales assistant, was tidying up the basement before opening one day when she got the feeling something was watching her. Inside, Kevin found some odd trinkets that he chalked up to being the items of a sentimental old woman, and didn't think anything of the box beyond it being an old wine cabinet. When he broke the clasp, the doors opened. When everything was stowed in the store's basement, Kevin went to work on the brass lock that held the box shut. Even though Kevin is Jewish, and knew what a dybbuk was, he took the box and other items from the sale back to his store. He won a lot that contained hundreds of dollars of items for the store, including a locked wine cabinet that the late woman's granddaughter called 'The Dubbuk Box". He found an estate auction of items from a Holocaust survivor who has passed at the fine old age of 103. Kevin Mannis was searching for items for his antique store. Paranormal Experience: A wine cabinet carrying a malevolent spirit ![]() She suffered the stroke the same day she got the box from her son.Subject Names: Kevin Mannis, Jane Howerton, Ida Mannis, Brian Grubbs, Brian's roommate Sam, Jason Haxton, Sophie While the box was in Mannis' possession, his mother suffered a stroke after he gave her it as a birthday present. According to Mannis, the box contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blonde hair bound with cord, a lock of brown hair bound with cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word "Shalom," a small wine goblet, one dried rosebud, and a single candle holder with four, octopus-shaped legs. The box ended up in the possession of Kevin Mannis, who bought it in an estate sale in 2001 and eventually tried to return it to the family, but they didn't want the box, claiming it was because a Dybbuk was living inside. The real Dybbuk Box is a wine box that was originally owned by a Holocaust survivor named Havaleh, who escaped from Poland to Spain and purchased the box before coming to the United States. It is sometimes believed to be attached to part of a deceased person's soul, and helps them with unfinished business, not resting until it has accomplished its goal. According to Jewish mythology, a Dybbuk is a restless, malicious spirit with the ability to haunt and even possess the living. ![]()
