Hey LU –
As the owner of the real Dibbuk Box – all I can say is Yep – sounds like you got a dose of it!! I have received thousands of emails from listners to my interviews with MU – to be honest, you got off kinda easy!

Wait until the SYFY docu-drama comes out on TV in late August and the Hollywood movie too.

I am just curious – are you planning to see either or both?
Best regards – Jason

I know this is a bit late but I need to tell my story. so i just began listening to your podcast again and i have listened to this episode when it first came out a few years ago. So i decided to relisten to the older episodes. the first time i listened to this episode i did not get any bad luck. But on monday 2.6.12 i relistened to this podcast….well some of it. lol. heres my story. so i drive 45 min to and from work. i was heading home when i started listening to this episode. as u were giving the warning i was sorta laughing at u guys saying it could cause bad luck. well as u started the story i told myself yep i remeber this story hearing it a few years ago. and i kept saying how can a box hold such dramatic outcome to so many lives. theres no way. so as i was listening to the story all of a sudden a creepy feeling came over me. its hard to explain. but i didnt even make it thru to even half of ur story before i just felt this huge urge to shut it off. so i did. i thought it was kinda odd but o well. i was almost home anyhow. so the next day i listened to ur next episode 210 and u kept talking about the box. i was like haha so many peeps have had bad luck. that night my window in my car came off its tracks and fell making a huge pow noise. scaring the heck outta me and a friend in the car. it took us almost 20 minutes to get it back on the track and able to stay up. the next day i listened to ur episode 211 and u still talking about the box! i laughed again. except my luck this day was much worse. me and my bf havnt fought for 3 years and we had the worst fight about our dog, a doberman, whom we never have had issues with until this day. i guess maybe it had been coming but it just seemed wierd it was on this day. i got to work and the nitemare only continued. my eyes were extremely itchy and blurry all night. and after lunch i was working on a fixture sitting in a chair a little close to the edge of it and when i went to pick up the fixture, the chair literally swept right out from underneath me. i went flying to the floor and scrapped my knee, arm, banged head, and sore back. Also that night i forgot to shut the door to my car….never in my life have i forgotten to shut the door. I of course woke up this morning and the battery dead! so anyhow my long winded message, i just want to say this morning i said to myself I believe! I BELIEVE! and today was sooo much better! I believe in this box! I better believe cause i in no way want to upset the box or whomever controls it.

I laugh at the box , and nothing . No sore eyes , no smashs or broken teeth , black eyes , numb thumbs or even computer crashing , Xbox destroying , car expolding , ear ringing days . Nothing , so i laugh at the box and all who respect or fear the box , because to me its just that a box with a story spun around it .

Twaz a good yarn tho

When the guy mentioned the shadow person in the Fedora hat I went cold! My immediate association with a Fedora hat is FREDDY KRUEGER! Surely a modern architype for all that is sinister in sleep, dreams and the dark hours!

Haha.. I finally got enough courage to press play on my ipod to listen this episode.. Really good stuff.. Did anyone else catch Ben's final comment right before the end of the show? HAHA I almost never listen to it all the way through, I usually stop it when it fades to the music, but man oh man I was rolling when I heard that. Great episode!

Hello Tikki,
As the caretaker of the box I want to respond to a few of you thoughts and questions. But first, you are right that there can be a definite addicton to Ben's voice, his ease in talking to an otherwise invisiible audience. And, you feel like it is very personal - just to you, hence the attraction along with the vast/eclectic collection of topics he covers. Aaron is like a fun college chum and seems as much a participant in learning as a co-host. A very nice team approach. Back to your question.

Only once did I attempt, and I mean really considered and attempted to remove part of the artifacts for Steve Maas of the LIPRG who wanted to review a part of the box's tokens in the summer of 2004. I agreed, but then an unsettling weather condition came over our home immediately and my city, it thundered continuously (24 - 7) for five full days with torrential rain, and then on the sixth day it didn't rain, but lightening crawled the skies and would suddenly bolt at the ground. I visited the Amish who helped with the box who claimed it was like nothing they had ever witnessed and it was a bad omen. You could feel the oppression in everyone. I told Steve that I would not break up the material. He pleaded for months of and on despite 5 hurricane that all came through his area next finally flooding him and his city out in the Carolinas. I think he too found it too odd to ignore. It is the same series of hrricans that felled the 60-year old Acacia tree in Florida which became the Ark of the Dibbuk Box. i received the tree two years after the storm and the Amish made the sealing Ark. Regardless, I felt it was best not to mess with the items and to keep them together after all of this damage.

Ben can attest that the Dibbuk Box likes to make big storms when its fate is being discussed or considered. Now, it could be all coincidence or like string-theory... just thinking it, believing it can cause it to happen too. As long as I am caring for it the peices stay within,

Lia Ramses requested EVP's be taken, so without telling her when I did this, and 1/2 way around the world as I cleansed the area around the box with burning sage and having a Jewish prayer recited on tape... her home simultaneously filled with sage as if on fire. You can read her family's full affects by being involved on the research area at Haunted Australia.

Best!
Jason

I stumbled onto this podcast while I was looking for something to listen to at work today. Not being a podcast listener, I jumped in with the expectation that it would be at most, mildly entertaining.
I was wrong. Within the first 5 minutes I was attached to my headset, wide eyed, and concerned for my well being…regardless of the warnings, I just HAD to listen. And boy, am I impressed. Firstly, within 20 minutes I had to let people know about your podcast! It’s great! I thoroughly look forward to listening to the previous and future editions, as well as checking out the MU community!
Next, Skelliot- thank you so much for this response. I didn’t want to write this, and I almost regret agreeing with it due to the “wrath of the box”, but as an academic, I feel there may be several psychological explanations for these happenings. Knowing that you may be susceptible to something happening, will most likely heighten your experience or awareness. The mere suggestion of bad luck, can often spew a series of events that are seen in a negative light- when, in the exact same situation, on any given day, they could appear to simply be a misfortune. Or the subtle effects of someone talking about an itch, and then the listener feeling itchy (I’m itchy right now…could it be the box!?) … I’m quite interested in the dreams though. Some could say that the suggestion of a certain event could influence a listener’s dream, and their subsequent interpretation/recall of it. However, the details that was mentioned about several individuals having the exact same dream, without discussing it – well, that gives me shivers!
I haven’t decided if I’ll be visiting the website- well, I’ll rephrase that…I haven’t gathered enough nerve to check it out! I would however, be interested if some scientific research was done on it. I know in the podcast it was asked if there were EMF readings taken from it, has that been done? Also, the mention of taking articles out and seeing the consequence is something that intrigues me, but is something that- well, I don’t know if I would actually ask someone to do that, purely based on the possible ramifications!
I have SO much to say about this single podcast. It was interesting, intriguing, and have relit a paranormal fire in me!
Thank you!!
