About this listen

Hey! It’s your host, Hagen of Buried but Not Boring. This week, I fell down a research rabbit hole and rediscovered something I honestly forgot existed: the Dybbuk Box.

It’s a small, antique cabinet that’s said to hold a restless spirit from Jewish folklore—and everyone who’s owned it has regretted it. We’re talking nightmares, unexplained illnesses, shadow figures, and maybe even a curse on Post Malone (seriously).

In this episode, we dig into the terrifying story behind the box: how it was sold on eBay for $140, passed from owner to owner, caused chaos at a museum, and sparked a full-on paranormal panic. We’ll cover the folklore, the horror, and why cursed objects like this freak us out so much.
