The Dybbuk box – also known as ‘the world’s most haunted object’ – is said to have cursed beloved singer Post Malone back in 2018.
The chilling artifact is currently kept under lock and key at a haunted museum in Las Vegas run by Ghost Adventures’ paranormal investigator Zak Bagans.
It appears on the surface to be nothing more than a vintage wine cabinet but inside it is said to hold a dybbuk – an evil spirit that can invade and possess a living person, per US Ghost Adventures.
The object has become so recognizable that it even inspired the popular 2012 horror film The Possession.
During the Ghost Adventurers’ New York ComicCon panel, Bagans described Malone’s visit to the museum in June 2018.
The ghost hunter said that during the spooky tour, he and the singer, now 29, decided to go into the room with the box before removing the protective case.
‘It is a very powerful item,’ Bagans, 48, said, per People.
‘I didn’t want to open it, I just wanted to take the case off.

‘To make a long story short, we began hearing things.’
The pair soon began hearing what sounded like a ‘little girl’s voice’ and Bagan said Malone initially sprinted down the stairs to get away from the exhibit.
But eventually, upon returning to the room, Bagans said that still ‘something wasn’t right.’
‘I remember putting my hand on the box and at that exact moment, Post put his hand on my shoulder,’ Bagans recalled.
‘At that moment, it was like something came through the box and into him, and I began shaking, I began trembling.
‘This is kind of embarrassing, I began crying, I began screaming, and this is when he got me out of the room forcefully.’
In the aftermath, Malone claimed to see a dark shadowy figure lingering outside.
And, the next day, the singer allegedly sent Bagan an eerie photo of a massive bruise on his arm.

‘Mind you, Post is a person we’ve investigated with, he’s a great debunker – very, very smart,’ Bagans said.
In Jewish Folklore, a dybbuk is a disembodied human spirit – due to past sins – that wanders restlessly until it can feel safe again in the body of a human person.
The word ‘dybbuk’ came from the Hebrew root ‘davek,’ which means to cling or to cleave.
The box initially appeared in 2003 when Kevin Mannis, an antique store owner, bought a vintage wine box from a 103-year-old Holocaust survivor on eBay, per US Ghost Adventures.
After a string of suspicious hauntings, the box was placed back on the site and bought by a man named Jason Haxton.
He eventually also felt the horrors of the box and buried it in Missouri before sharing it on Bagan’s show.
