In Kabbalah and European Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a malicious and possessing spirit believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person who committed a serious transgression while they were alive. The dybbuk attaches itself to the body of a living person who faces the same obstacles as they when they were alive.According to belief, there are good as well as bad dybbuks. The good ones act as spirit guides to help the person through their life’s trials, while the bad ones inflict the same pain and suffering on their “host” as they experienced in life. In some cases, they attach themselves to objects.During September of 2001, I attended an estate sale in PortlandOregon.
The items liquidated at this sale were from the estate of a woman who had passed away at the age of 103.
A
grand-daughter of the woman told me that her grandmother had been born
in Poland where she grew up, married, raised a family, and lived until
she was sent to a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. She was
the only member of her family who survived the camp. Her parents,
brothers, a sister, husband, and two sons and a daughter were all
killed. She survived the camp by escaping with some other prisoners and
somehow making her way to Spain where she lived until the end of the
war. I was told that she acquired the small wine cabinet listed here in
Spain and it was one of only three items that she brought with her when
she immigrated to the United States. The other two items were a steamer
trunk, and a sewing box.
I purchased thewine
cabinet, along with the sewing box and some other furniture at the
estate sale. After the sale, I was approached by the woman’s
granddaughter who said, I see you got the dibbuk box. She was referring
to the wine cabinet. I asked her what a dibbuk box was, and she told me
that when she was growing up, her grandmother always kept the wine
cabinet in her sewing room. It was always shut, and set in a place that
was out of reach. The grandmother always called it the dibbuk box. When
the girl asked her grandmother what was inside, her grandmother spit
three times through her fingers said, a dibbuk, and keselim. The
grandmother went on to tell the girl that the wine cabinet was never,
ever, to be opened.
The above excerpt is from
the story of The Dybbuk Box, a fascinating story about an old wine box

An american woman who levitated, demonstrated paranormal psychic powers and spoke foreign languages unknown to her was clearly demon possessed, according to a board-certified psychiatrist and associate professor of clinical psychiatry at New York Medical College. The unnamed woman, with a long history of involvement with Satanic groups, was observed by a team of priests, deacons, several lay assistants, psychiatrists, nuns, some of whom also had medical and psychiatrictraining, levitating six in...Spirit Walk-ins
To understand what a "walk-in" is one first
needs to understand that our physical body is not *us*. It is the container for
*us*. Similar to someone driving a car. When we see the driver we understand
that they exist irrespective of whether they have a car, or not. So too with our
bodies. We exist irrespective of whether we have a physical body or not. In
other words we existed as a spirit (soul) before the body we now occupy was
born. When our physical body dies we will continue t...Woman claims demon drove her from home
A woman in Texas was driven to leave the home she was renting due to a series of paranormal sightings of a little girl that in one session with a local investigator was claimed to be demonic in nature.
"One woman says her familylived in fear. She claims they heard voices and saw shadows intheir home. . The family was so scared they called a ghost hunter to find out what was going on. "My little girl would see a little girl wi...Ancient mystery returns as 'Satan's hoofprints' are spotted
A 150-year-old mystery has reared its head after a woman woke to find 'Satan's hoofprints' dotted across freshly fallen snow in her back garden. The single track of cloven-like prints - which appear to have been made by a two-legged creature - precisely resemble footprints recorded in the area in 1855.The phenomenon, which has never been explained, became known as the 'Devil's foot prints' in a local legend. Grandmother Jill, 76, of Woolsery, Devon, said: 'I...A demon calls
Anthony North: Occasionally, paranormal literature throws up a case so incredible that we either dismiss it as fantasy, or edge towards the idea that demons and possessions are a reality. The facts are just so fantastic, rational inquiry is often forgotten.But are we right to either dismiss or accept? Or is it possible that rational explanations can be placed upon the subject within an overall cultural explanation of phenomena? I opt for this middle ground. Anna Ecklund: Consider the case of Ann...Witch doctors called in to school haunt
A school in Madhya Pradesh has called witch doctors to overcome ghosts that allegedly haunt girl students but mysteriously spare the boys. Officials at the Government Higher Secondary School in Duma village in Seoni district are also performing weird rituals throughout the day in a desperate bid to restore sanity.Naturally, studies have taken a backseat at the school.Villagers believe ghosts come to possess the girls once they reach the school, which has been built on an old cremation ground.Sur...What is a pact with the Devil ?
Anthony North: We are all aware of the term, "pact with the Devil". It means selling your soul to the Devil for favour, but it always requires something in return, resulting in you being lost to good, and coming under the influence of evil. During the Witchhunts, witches were thought to have come under the Devil"s influence. This is usually rejected nowadays -the Devil is a product of monotheism, whereas witches come under the pagan -a totally different spiritual system. Yet philosophically it i...Who the Devil ?
Anthony North: The Devil may seem an archaic symbol of evil, but he is supposed to be alive in the world to this day with his Satanic conspiracies. From the 1960s onwards, one expression of him was the Church of Satan, set up in San Francisco by occultist, Anton La Vey.Said to have perverted many a star, his ceremonies involved a naked woman as an altar and his philosophy was based on unbridled hedonism. The death of Jane Mansfield was even put down, by some, to their rituals. Who is he ? The na...Chief exorcist says Devil is in Vatican

He addedthat the assault on Pope Benedict XVI on Christmas Eve by a mentally unstable woman and the sex abuse scandalswhich have engulfed the Church in the US, Ir...The Salem Witch Trials, 1692
