Just came across this story.  I was reading the bio of freelance writer, Leslie Gornstein.  She wrote an article about a "dibbuk box".  Her bio state that the article is being made into a movie.  Apparently it's a about a haunted wine box.  Producer Sam Raimi's production company, Ghost House Pictures is making it to a movie now.

This site http://www.dibbukbox.com/ gives the story behind this one box.  Several people bought the box from each other off of Ebay.  They all had paranormal experiences, and felt they were for lack of a better word "cursed".  The website is created as if all of it really happened.  It even links to the original ebay listing.  Some are calling it a hoax to promote the movie. It's a fun read.  Anyone heard of this before?

Here's the link to the Leslie Gornstein article

I saw the Dibbuk Box for sale on ebay, and read the sttory behind it, but know little about it.

Who ever currently owns the thing ought to contact a rabbi to see if there really is such a thing in jewish culture, and if so what does the rabbi recomend doing with this box. Should it be burnt, or blessed and buried? I think I have heard of a dibbuk before.I guess it's like a ghost or demon.

On one episode of RugRats on Nikelodeon, Grandpa Boris was up in the attic of his house going through some things in the attic with the kids.I recall him telling them some story about a dibbuk, and the hero getting his klobbermeister to wack the dibbuk.

might be interesting to go to a jewish website,and maybe ask about dibbuks and dibbuk boxes.
