In 2001, an antique wine cabinet appeared for sale on eBay — and with it, a story that would terrify collectors for decades. Said to contain a restless spirit from Jewish folklore known as a dybbuk, the box allegedly brought misfortune, nightmares, and a string of unexplained events to everyone who possessed it. But as its legend grew online, so did the questions: where does belief end and storytelling begin? In this episode, we trace the dybbuk’s path from myth to marketplace — and explore how ancient fears found new life in the digital age.
