Not so long ago on the Internet auction has a new lot. The owner, Joseph Netzke, student of the forestay Missouri, called it "zagovornik box for wine". In it were two curl, a statuette made of granite, dried rose Bud, two coins and a candlestick. Netzke honestly warned: box brings misfortune and it, probably, settled dibbuk. (The spirit that instead of the other world settled in our. This spruce was also called the spirits of the dead, slavsya alive with the light intentions).

Unusual lot aroused considerable interest. Within two days symbolic starting price of one dollar rose to 50. After a couple of days for it has been proposed us $ 200. Eventually the owner of dibuka was Jason Haxton, curator of the University Museum of Missouri, giving box 286$.

Haxton was overcome many questions and suggestions concerning dibuka. In the end, he was asked to remove the home address of the directories that changed the email address and created a dedicated mailbox on the site. Visitors complained of a headache and asked to remove the image box, accusing him in a sudden indisposition.
Haxton had found the previous owner of dibuka (he was the owner of a small workshop on repair and restoration of furniture Kevin Mannis from Portland, Oregon). And here is his story.

Once Kevin got on the sale of certain of Haveli, who died at the age of 103. He drew attention to a wooden box, which was intended for wine storage. From granddaughter Haveli Mannis learned that the old woman, an ethnic Jew born in Poland in the end of XIX century and lived a very difficult life. The box she bought in Spain, which ran from German concentration camps. Cherished the box Havel kept closed in my room, away from children and grandchildren.

But as the granddaughter of them were interested in, and then an elderly woman three times spat through thumbs, said the strange words "dibbuk" and "telesim" and made her swear that she's never in his life will not open. Before his death Havel asked to put in the grave and the mailbox, but it was impossible according to the laws of Judaism. And granddaughter of the promise and never opened the box.

Kevin Mannis went to the workshop and decided box to restore and to give the mother. He took the purchase to itself in the filed, and, leaving behind a receptionist, went on business. Half an hour later the assistant said on the phone that someone got in the Studio, beats Windows, loud cursing and besides her... locked. Alarmed Mannis rushed to work.
The front door was locked. The girl was sobbing in the corner. Making sure she was all right, he drew his gun and ran to the stairs leading to the basement.

The light of reason is not burned, although hours ago everything was in order. Include flashlight, Kevin saw that in the basement there is not one left a light bulb. The sound is broken light bulbs assistant and took over the sound of breaking glass.
As Kevin has crossed the threshold of his Studio, his nose hit the smell of cat urine, although the animals he did not hold.

The attacker also disappeared... Kevin went upstairs. The girl said that dismissed, flatly refusing to answer questions. Because no harm, except for the broken light bulbs, done there, to go to the police he was not.
Two weeks Mannis restored a case of wine. He was not simple, and mechanism: cost to open one door, another was opened herself and was nominated box. Inside were two of certovica 1925 and 1928 edition, two curl, secured with a rubber band, a little figurine of granite with carved Hebrew word "Shalom", a dried rose Bud and old cast-iron candlestick with legs in the form of tentacles of an octopus. Even Kevin noticed the Hebrew inscription on the back.
Gift mother liked. While with a smile she looked at the box, Mannis went to call, and when, after about five minutes he returned, he found that the mother became ill. An old woman was sitting with a blank expression on her knees were bleeding.

The doctor said that she had had a stroke which left him partially paralyzed and was speechless. Talked Mrs. Mannis using paper and pens. The next day the woman suddenly wrote: "don't gift". Deciding that she just forgot about the wine box, Kevin said that it is a gift. And she said, "Hatred".
Deciding that the mother of a case of wine disliked, Massin gave his sister, but she brought him back in a week: she could not close the doors. Brother box was delayed and less: after three days he returned. It seemed to him that the box gave off the smell of Jasmine, and his wife seemed that it stinks of cat urine. Girlfriend, which Massin gave box, two days asked quickly from him to deliver.

On the same day, Kevin sold it a couple, but three days later discovered wretched box in front of the door of the Studio with a strange note: "In it is hidden evil darkness". To take back the money the buyers refused. Mannis brought it home. On the first night had a nightmare, which is then repeated almost every day. Allegedly he walks down the street with someone from close friends, watching satellite in the eye and understands that with a friend something wrong. At this moment one turns into a horrible witch who immediately into him with his fists. Waking up in a cold sweat, Kevin with horror found bruises on the body from shock.

Some time later, the guests visited the mother, sister and brother with his wife. They spent the night with him. At Breakfast sister complained of a bad dream. Explaining that she sees it is not the first time, a woman told word for word nightmare Kevin. Brother with his wife listened to her with open mouths. In their eyes froze with fear: he had the same nightmare! And also not the first time.

Here Kevin Mannis was not myself. The idea that all the troubles blame box, grew in confidence, when it became clear that the relatives saw nightmares before, when he was in their house.
After a week with Mannison was something strange going on. It seemed to him that in his peripheral vision, he sees some strange spots like shadows. The same spots noticed and people who came to his home. Kevin took the box in the barn, and in the night he was awakened by a fire alarm. No fire, no no smoke, but the cat urine smell the per kilometer. Mannis brought a box in the house. At 4.30 woke up from a friend of a nightmare. The room smelled strongly of Jasmine. He thought he saw a large shadow that was running along the corridor. In the morning, Kevin decided to burn a terrible mailbox, but at the last moment he changed his mind: he was afraid that something, living in a box, in that case will remain with him forever...

"Of course, these events it is possible to find reasonable explanations that have no relation to the box, " says Mannis, but when I think ACE, sneaking thought: not too many coincidences?"
And yet, patience Manisa broke, and he decided from the mailbox to get rid of. Most of all it offered Netzke and ultimately received a box with all its contents

According to experts in the paranormal phenomena, in a box lived ectoplasmosis uninvited guest. Now on Netzke hit trouble: the 20-year-old boy hair began to fall, the room had a strange smell, Joseph was deprived of peripheral vision: it blocked the large vertical dark spots...

Jason Haxton has not escaped the fate of the previous owners of the box. The next morning after the purchase, he woke up with blood-shot eyes, and right eyes were very swollen, like hit. Behind eye was followed by other ailments: fatigue, metallic taste in the mouth, runny nose, which didn't help medication, severe cough. The house smelled of flowers and cat urine,

Haxton turned for help to a familiar Jewish Rebecca now. Her father was a scholar of Kabbalah and before his death gave daughters of their knowledge. Now I am convinced that the box was a sacred object of some Jewish families and it moved someone's spirit. In order to cast him out, in her opinion, it is necessary to conduct Manian - rite, during which ten people read special prayers.

And George Ellis, an expert on Jewish culture, believes that if people found the coin issue year which coincided with the year of, say, the birth of their child or death of a close relative, she was setting it aside. Apparently, the reason for all the above lies in the mailbox coins.
Skeptics believe that dibbuk is just someone clever joke...

P.S. Haxton found younger sister Haveli, and she told me that they often went to a seance. During one of them in our world negligently caused medium got a evil spirit, who refused to go back. Havel caught him, long kept in a glass jar, and Peter was put in a box for wine.
