Mannis and his siblings suffered from the same recurring nightmares of an old woman with sunken eyes. His sister got creeped out by the cabinet because the doors kept opening on their own his brother and his sister-in-law complained of odd smells coming from the box, like cat urine and jasmine. Over the course of two years, a number of other mysterious events befell Mannis and those around him. The seller purportedly told Mannis it was never to be opened, and if it was, bad things would happen. The granddaughter told him her grandmother always kept it shut and out of reach because there was a dybbuk - in Jewish folklore, an evil, restless spirit that possesses the living - inside it. When Havela, who lived to 103, immigrated to the U.S., the wine cabinet was only one of three items she brought with her.Īs Mannis paid for the cabinet, Havela’s granddaughter said, “I see you bought the Dybbuk Box.” Mannis wasn’t familiar with the term. She, with other survivors, fled to Spain and lived there until the end of the war. Havela’s parents, brothers, sister, husband, two sons, and daughter were all killed. The story goes that he purchased an old wine cabinet from the granddaughter of a recently deceased Holocaust survivor named Havela, who escaped Nazi-occupied Poland. This has also been seen by multiple guests and staff at the museum.Back in 2001, Kevin Mannis was out visiting yard sales, looking for supplies for his furniture-restoration business, a hole-in-the-wall shop located at the base of the Burnside Bridge in Portland, Oregon. A Las Vegas marketing executive and Bagans both witnessed a black-cloaked figure pass through the exhibit’s closed door during a private tour.
Shortly following its arrival, mysterious protruding holes began to appear in the walls around the artifact as if something was trying to break out from within the exhibit. This vintage wine cabinet inspired the movie The Possession and is said to house a malicious spirit. Paranormal enthusiasts visiting Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum venture down creepy winding hallways and secret passages into more than 30 rooms that rival scenes from Hollywood horror films, setting the stage for frightening facts about each paranormal piece, such as the Dybbuk Box known as the world’s most haunted object. Some long-time Las Vegans even claim dark rituals took place in the home’s basement during the 1970s.
Through the years, hostile spirits - family members who passed away there and whose energy remains - have been rumored to roam the halls terrorizing past occupants. The 11,000-square foot property built in 1938 was originally owned by prominent businessman Cyril S.
