WELCOME BACK
TO "SHADOW NATION."

THE MOST CURSED OBJECT
IN AMERICA.

IT LOOKED LIKE
BLOOD IN MY DRINK.

THERE'S SOMEONE
IN THE BABY'S ROOM.

IT WENT FROM BEING
A SYMBOL OF GOOD

TO PURE EVIL.

I COULDN'T MAKE SENSE OF
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

- ‐HELP US.
- ‐

WHAT'S GOING ON?

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

OKAY.



WHY DON'T YOU JUST
START AT THE BEGINNING?

I HAD JUST BROKEN OFF
A THREE‐YEAR ENGAGEMENT.

I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME.

I FELT THAT
BEING ALONE FOR AWHILE

COULD HELP ME
FIND MYSELF AGAIN.

I WAS RAISED IN A SMALL TOWN.

MOST OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
HAD LONG SINCE GONE,

BUT THE THOUGHT OF GOING BACK
WAS COMFORTING TO ME.

SO I QUIT MY JOB,

AND I HEADED BACK
TO WHERE I GREW UP.

MY DAD DIED THREE YEARS EARLIER.

BUT WHEN I WAS A KID,

HE USED TO TAKE ME
TO THIS OLD ROADHOUSE

FOR BURGERS ALL THE TIME.



IT WAS ONE OF
MY FAVORITE MEMORIES.

WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT
IT WAS SITTING THERE EMPTY,

I DID SOMETHING A LITTLE CRAZY.

I SCRAPED UP ALL OF MY SAVINGS,

TOOK A LOAN,

AND BOUGHT THE PLACE.

I WAS HOPING TO RESTORE
THE RESTAURANT

TO THE WAY IT WAS.

BUT I HAD MY WORK
CUT OUT FOR ME.

YEAH, LIVING IN THE BACK ROOM
HELPED ME SAVE MONEY.

IT WAS 10 MILES
FROM THE TOWN I GREW UP IN.

IT WAS CREEPY‐QUIET.

EXCEPT FOR
THE OCCASIONAL PASSING

OF A SEMI TRUCK OR A TRAIN.

CLOSEST NEIGHBOR
WAS OVER A MILE AWAY.

I HAD STACKED THE STOOLS
ON TOP OF THE BAR

SO THAT I COULD MOP THE FLOOR.

WHEN I WENT TO BED,
THEY WERE STILL THERE.

I TOLD MYSELF THAT I MUST HAVE

SLEPT THROUGH
AN EARTHQUAKE OR SOMETHING.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

SON OF A...

THE BUILDING INSPECTOR SAID THAT
THE WIRING WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.

I HAD NO IDEA WHY THE LIGHTS
WERE ACTING WEIRD.

THAT PHONE MUST HAVE
BEEN 50 YEARS OLD.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE
IT WAS STILL WORKING.

HELLO?

HELLO?

IT WAS LIKE THIS BURST OF STATIC

WITH A VOICE IN IT SOMEWHERE.

BUT I COULDN'T MAKE OUT
WHAT IT WAS SAYING...

...BECAUSE IT WAS SCREAMING.

I CALLED THE CLOSEST
ELECTRICIAN THAT I COULD FIND.

I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM
TO BE SO, UM...

HOT.

I CAN GET
YOUR FIXTURES WORKING,

BUT THIS WIRING IS NOT REALLY
UP TO CODE ANYMORE.

YOU CAN FILE FOR AN EXCEPTION
WITH THE COUNTY OFFICE.

IF THE FIRE MARSHAL
APPROVES IT,

THEY'LL GIVE YA
A WINDOW OF TIME

BEFORE YOU HAVE
TO COMPLETELY REWIRE.

AND WHAT'LL THAT
COST ME?

NO IDEA UNTIL I DIG
INTO THESE WALLS.

YOU WANT ME TO WRITE UP
AN ESTIMATE FOR YOU?

YEAH, I GUESS.

WKTZ, SUN PALACE.

HOW'D YOU COME BY
THIS PLACE?

OH.

I USED TO COME HERE
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID.

SO DID I.

I BET WE WERE HERE
AT THE SAME TIME,

TELLY BURGER.

ORTEGA BURGER.

THE ONE WITH
THE BIG PEPPER ON IT?

YEAH.

THE TATER TOTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.

THEY WERE SO GOOD.
They were.

SO, UM...

YOU'LL BILL ME?

UH...SURE.

YOU, UM...

YOU WANT ME
TO MAKE THE BILL

OUT TO YOU
OR TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND?

SLICK.

WHAT?

NOT MARRIED.
OKAY.

I MEAN...

IF YOU WERE WONDERING.

I WAS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOR THE FOURTH?

UM...I DON'T KNOW.

I, UH...

WHY DON'T YOU COME BY?

MY WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD
GOES CRAZY WITH FIREWORKS.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

SURE.

YEAH?

HE WAS REALLY, REALLY CUTE,

AND I WAS LONELY,

SO IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD EXCUSE

TO GET OUT OF THE BAR
FOR A LITTLE BIT.

HELLO?

THE CALLS STARTED COMING IN
MORE AND MORE...

...DAY AND NIGHT.

I WAS HOPING
THAT IT WAS JUST KIDS

MAKING CRANK CALLS.

BUT I WANTED IT TO STOP.

I CALLED THE PHONE COMPANY
TO HAVE THE LINE DISCONNECTED.

Are you certain
that's the correct number?

THAT'S RIGHT.

Ma'am, that is not
an active line.

WELL, IT IS,
CAUSE THE PHONE KEEPS RINGING,

OVER AT
THE OLD TULLY'S ROADHOUSE.

Hmm. Nope.

I'm showing that
that line was disconnected,

let's see, wow,

almost 30 years ago.

Try making a call from it.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S NOT CALLING OUT.

Mm. There you go, then.

Is there anything else
I can do for you today, ma'am?

NO.

NO. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

I WAS HOPING
TO RESTORE THE RESTAURANT

TO THE WAY IT WAS,

BUT I HAD MY WORK
CUT OUT FOR ME.

HELLO?

YOU'RE RIGHT.
I‐IT'S NOT CALLING OUT.

Mm.
There you go, then.

Is there anything else
I can do for you today, ma'am?

NO.

NO. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST
UNPLUG THE PHONE FROM THE JACK?

I GUESS I WAS JUST FIGHTING,

AND IT DIDN'T DAWN ON ME
TO DO THAT UNTIL LATER.

THEN I BECAME OBSESSED

WITH WANTING TO KNOW

WHO WAS ON THE OTHER END
OF THAT LINE,

SO I JUST DIDN'T.

I WENT OVER TO BRETT'S
TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH...

MMM.
YOU'RE GONNA BURN THEM.

OH, REALLY?
REALLY?

REALLY.
YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT?

...MAYBE JUST TO GET
OUT OF THE BAR

AND FORGET ABOUT THAT PHONE
FOR A FEW HOURS.

UM...

OH, THAT'S ‐‐
THAT'S WALTER.

KIND OF MY MENTOR.

TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW
ABOUT ELECTRICITY,

AND I ONLY BEEN ELECTROCUTED
ON THE JOB TWICE.

YEAH.

HE DOESN'T HAVE
ANY FAMILY.

AFTER HE RETIRED
WHEN HIS HIP GAVE OUT,

I LET HIM MOVE IN WITH ME,

GAVE HIM MY SPARE BEDROOM.

WOW.

THAT'S VERY SWEET
OF YOU.

I KNOW. RIGHT?

I'M KIND OF SWEET LIKE THAT.

PLUS IT'S REAL EASY
TO FORGE HIS SIGNATURE

ON HIS
SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS.

SO YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO BOUGHT THE BAR ON 160.

MM‐HMM,
THE OLD TULLY'S.

IT'S HAD A LOT OF NAMES
OVER THE YEARS.

YEAH, I HAVEN'T DECIDED
WHAT TO CALL IT YET.

CAN'T IMAGINE YOU'LL STAY
AROUND LONG ENOUGH

TO FIGURE IT OUT.

WELL, WHAT THE HELL
WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

LATER THAT WEEK,

I WAS WORKING LATE
INTO THE NIGHT.

THE WIRING WAS ACTING UP,

AS USUAL.

IT LOOKED LIKE...
BLOOD IN MY DRINK.

THERE WAS NOTHING
ON THE CEILING ‐‐

NO STAIN, NOTHING.

STOP CALLING HERE!

Help...us.

"HELP US."

IT WAS ALL I HEARD
BEFORE I HUNG UP.

I CALLED BRETT,
AND I ASKED HIM TO COME OVER.

AND THE VOICE DIDN'T
SOUND FAMILIAR AT ALL?

NO.

AND THEY HAVEN'T
CALLED BACK SINCE.

NO.

IT'S KIND OF
FREAKING ME OUT.

WELL...

IF YOU'D LIKE,

I COULD STAY OVER.

TO ANSWER THE PHONE,
I MEAN.

IS THAT RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

BRETT WAS A GOOD DISTRACTION.

BUT I JUST COULDN'T TAKE MY MIND
OFF OF THAT PHONE.

I HAD TO KNOW
WHO WAS CALLING AND WHY.

THE NEXT MORNING,
I GOT MY HEAD ON STRAIGHT,

AND I DECIDED TO KEEP MAKING
PROGRESS ON THE REMODEL.

I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

PLEASE JUST TAKE
WHATEVER YOU WANT AND LEAVE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR FACES.

I DON'T WANT TO.

THEY WERE THERE 1 SECOND,

AND THEN THEY WERE GONE.

BUT THE DEAD BOLT WAS
STILL LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE.

I COULDN'T MAKE SENSE
OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

STOP CALLING HERE!

Help...us.

SO I WONDERED, YOU KNOW,

WHETHER THE THINGS
THAT I HAD SEEN,

THE MEN CRASHING
THROUGH THE DOOR,

THE BLOOD IN MY DRINK,

COULD THEY ALL BE CONNECTED

TO WHOEVER WAS CALLING
ON THAT PHONE?

THE FIXTURE IS WORKING,

BUT THIS WIRING IS NOT REALLY
UP TO CODE ANYMORE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
CALL THE POLICE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I COULDN'T.

I MEAN, WITH EVERYTHING

THAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING,

THE WAY THAT
THEY JUST WERE HERE,

AND THEN THEY WERE NOT HERE.

I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY TO THE COPS.

WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO?

COMMIT ME
TO A MENTAL INSTITUTION?

WHAT ARE
YOU THINKING?

I DON'T KNOW.

COULD IT HAVE BEEN,
LIKE...

SHADOWS MOVING AROUND
OR SOMETHING,

YOU KNOW, LIKE,
FROM THE HEADLIGHTS OF A CAR?

IT WAS FOUR DEAD MEN.

I MEAN, IT WAS LIKE...

THEIR BRAINS
HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT.

SO YOU FOUND OUT
ABOUT THE GHOSTS IN THAT PLACE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT, WALTER?

1959 ‐‐

TWO MEN WENT IN THERE
AND TRIED TO ROB THE PLACE.

THE OWNER CREEPED IN
OUT OF THE KITCHEN

AND TRIED TO CALL THE POLICE
ON A PAY PHONE.

HE SHOT THEM ‐‐

EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

Help...us.

I THINK THEY KILLED
FOUR OF THEIR CUSTOMERS

PLUS THE OWNER
AND THE BARTENDER.

THAT PLACE IS
AS HAUNTED AS THEY COME.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.

I'VE BEEN SEARCHING
FOR ANSWERS FOR YEARS NOW.

I FOUND THIS THEORY.

IT'S CALLED PSYCHOMETRY.

BASICALLY, IT MEANS,
BY TOUCHING SOMETHING,

YOU CAN CONNECT TO ITS PAST.

I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN...

MAYBE THAT'S
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME

WHEN I ANSWERED THAT PHONE.

BUT I WASN'T GONNA LET IT
SCARE ME OFF

OR STOP ME FROM OPENING
OUR RESTAURANT.

SO, I GREW UP IN A HOUSE

IN THE MIDWEST.

IT WAS MY MOTHER, MY FATHER,

AND A LADY THAT RENTED
THE ROOM UPSTAIRS.

AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT
UNTIL I WAS ABOUT 8,

AND THINGS STARTED HAPPENING
AROUND THE HOUSE ‐‐

WEIRD STUFF.

SO MOM AND DAD FINALLY
SET ME DOWN,

AND THEY TOLD ME
THAT IT WASN'T A LADY

RENTING THE ROOM UPSTAIRS,

THAT, IN FACT, WE HAD A GHOST.

IT WAS IN THE HOUSE.

AND TO THIS DAY,

I'VE SPENT MY LIFE LOOKING

FOR EVERYTHING I COULD FIND
IN THE PARANORMAL.

HEY, THERE. IT'S SHAUN.
WELCOME BACK TO "SHADOW NATION."

ALL RIGHT. GOOD TO GO.

I STARTED A PODCAST,
"SHADOW NATION"...

ONE, TWO, THREE FOUR.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.

...WHERE I WANTED TO SEE
IF I WAS CRAZY,

IF THERE WAS OTHER PEOPLE,
IN FACT,

THAT WAS LIVING
WITH THESE ENTITIES.

HEY, THERE. IT'S SHAUN.
WELCOME BACK TO "SHADOW NATION."

WITH US TONIGHT,

I'M VERY EXCITED
TO HAVE MY GUEST ‐‐

THE OWNER OF ONE
OF AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED

AND CURSED ARTIFACTS,
THE DYBBUK BOX.

AND AFTER MONTHS
OF ME BEGGING HIM,

BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
IT'S IN THE STUDIO.

I GUESS, SINCE WE AGREED
NOT TO USE YOUR REAL NAME,

SHOULD WE MAKE ONE UP?

SURE.

HOW ABOUT ALEX?

THAT'S FINE.

SO WHEN I FINALLY GOT

THE OWNER OF THE DYBBUK BOX
ON THE SHOW,

I WAS EXCITED

BECAUSE IT'S, ALLEGEDLY,

THE MOST CURSED OBJECT
IN AMERICA.

TWO, THREE, FOUR.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.

HEY, THERE. IT'S SHAUN.

WELCOME BACK
TO "SHADOW NATION."

WITH US TONIGHT,
THE OWNER OF ONE

OF AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED
AND CURSED ARTIFACTS,

THE DYBBUK BOX.

I GUESS, SINCE WE AGREED NOT
TO USE YOUR REAL NAME,

SHOULD WE MAKE ONE UP?

SURE.

HOW ABOUT ALEX?

THAT'S FINE.

SO WHEN I FINALLY GOT

THE OWNER OF THE DYBBUK BOX
ON THE SHOW,

I WAS EXCITED...

BECAUSE IT'S, ALLEGEDLY,

THE MOST CURSED OBJECT
IN AMERICA.

I WAS UPSTAIRS IN BED

WHEN HE BROUGHT THAT THING
INTO THE HOUSE.

I GUESS I WAS MORE FOCUSED ON
BEING SIX MONTHS PREGNANT,

SO I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT.

SHAUN?

I GUESS I SHOULD START
BY LETTING EVERYONE KNOW

THAT YOU ONLY AGREED
TO BE HERE TONIGHT

IF I PROMISED I WOULDN'T TRY
AND TOUCH THE DYBBUK BOX.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

I DON'T LET ANYBODY
TOUCH IT.

SO, HOW DID YOU COME
ACROSS THIS THING?

I'M CURATOR AT A MEDICAL MUSEUM
AT A UNIVERSITY,

AND ONE OF OUR STUDENTS
BOUGHT IT

OFF THE INTERNET.

AND HE CLAIMS
HE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE

SOME STRANGE OCCURRENCES
WHEN HE GOT IT,

AND HE CAME TO ME.

I WANTED TO FIND
A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION

FOR WHAT HE WAS ALLEGING.

WHAT WAS HE SAYING
WAS HAPPENING?

VISIONS OF A MYSTERIOUS FIGURE
WITH LONG, SLENDER ARMS.

HE BEGAN LOSING HIS HAIR.

HE CLAIMED THAT

HE BEGAN TO CRY BLOOD.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOME
PRETTY CRAZY STUFF.

YEAH, INDEED.

THEN I DISCOVERED THAT
THE PREVIOUS OWNER

EXPERIENCED SOME
SIMILAR SITUATIONS,

ONE OF THOSE BEING THAT
HE ALLOWED HIS MOTHER

TO TOUCH THE BOX,

AND SHE HAD A MASSIVE STROKE
LATER THAT EVENING.

NOW SHE CAN ONLY UTTER
TWO WORDS ‐‐

"EVIL BOX."

SO, THE OWNER
OF THE DYBBUK BOX,

HE COMES FROM, LIKE, A MEDICAL,
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND.

SO YOU HAVE AN ORDINARY MAN
WITH AN EDUCATION THAT

COMES FACE‐TO‐FACE WITH EVIL,

AND THAT'S WHAT
DREW MY ATTENTION.

IT ALL TRACES BACK
TO ITS ORIGINAL OWNER.

HAVELA.
YEAH.

YEAH.
YOU DID YOUR HOMEWORK.

HAVELA WAS A POLISH REFUGEE
THAT BROUGHT IT WITH HER

WHEN SHE FLED
THE HOLOCAUST,

AND THAT'S WHEN SHE...

HAD TO DO SOMETHING
QUITE DANGEROUS, REALLY.

SHE ATTEMPTED TO TRAP
A DYBBUK IN THE BOX.

A DEMON.

YEAH, ESSENTIALLY,

A MALICIOUS SPIRIT.

HAVELA REQUESTED
TO HAVE THE BOX

BURIED WITH HER.

I CAN ONLY ASSUME
SHE BELIEVED

THAT IT WOULD SOMEHOW
LOCK THE DEMON AWAY FOREVER,

BUT HER RABBI, OF COURSE,
REFUSED THAT

BECAUSE PEOPLE AND POSSESSIONS
CAN'T BE BURIED TOGETHER

IN THE JEWISH TRADITION.

SO TWO CURSED OWNERS LATER,
HERE IT IS.

PRETTY COOL.

RIGHT HERE,
IN MY BASEME‐‐

I NEVER HAD A NOSEBLEED
IN MY LIFE BEFORE THAT.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.

NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED
RIGHT THER‐‐

HE BEGAN TO CRY BLOOD.

IT'S ALLEGEDLY THE MOST
CURSED OBJECT IN AMERICA.

PRETTY COOL.

RIGHT HERE,
IN MY BASEME‐‐

MUST HAVE BEEN
A TECHNICAL GLITCH.

NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED
RIGHT THER‐‐

SO, WE'RE DOING
THE INTERVIEW.

IT'S GOING GREAT.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE DYBBUK BOX,

AND I HEAR MY WIFE SCREAM.

WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU OKAY?
THERE'S SOMEONE UPSTAIRS.

WHAT?

WHY IS YOUR NOSE
BLEEDING?

THERE'S SOMEONE
IN THE BABY'S ROOM.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, STACY THINKS
SHE SAW SOMEBODY UPSTAIRS.

I DID SEE SOMEONE.
ALL RIGHT.

OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW.
ALL RIGHT.

JUST STAY DOWN HERE
WITH ALEX.

LET ME CHECK IT OUT.

SO, I RACE UPSTAIRS.

AND I SEE THE MOBILE
WAS KIND OF GOING AROUND.

I THOUGHT MAYBE SHE'D SEEN THAT.

I FIGURED STACY GOT SPOOKED

FROM THE SHADOW OF THE MOBILE
SPINNING AROUND.

SO I THOUGHT
EVERYTHING WAS SAFE.

SO I WENT BACK DOWN
TO THE STUDIO.

THIS IS REALLY
A BAD IDEA, SHAUN.

ALEX IS A CURATOR
AT A MUSEUM,

AND HE HAS A SERIOUS
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND,

AND HE STARTS TELLING ME
THAT EVERYTHING

THAT WAS HAPPENING THAT NIGHT

OR THAT WOULD HAPPEN

WAS THE DYBBUK BOX.

I'M REALLY SORRY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HER
LIKE THAT BEFORE.

I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT YOUR WIFE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT BRINGING
THIS BOX INTO YOUR HOME.

IT'S NOT A TOY.

I REALIZE THAT.

I DON'T THINK YOU DO.

REALLY?

LISTEN.

I'M GLAD YOU HAVE FUN
WITH YOUR LITTLE RADIO THING.

IT'S A PODCAST.

I'VE SEEN THINGS
THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN,

AND EVERY TIME,
THIS BOX IS NEARBY.

I'M THINKING IT'S GOT TO BE
SOMETHING ELSE.

EVEN AS MUCH AS
I'M INTO THE PARANORMAL,

AND I'VE RESEARCHED IT,
YOU ALWAYS TRY TO EXPLAIN IT

WITH THE EVERYDAY, NORMAL STUFF.

BUT ALEX SEEMED TO KNOW
RIGHT AWAY,

AND HE WASN'T WRONG.

SO IT'S A CLEAR NIGHT A FEW DAYS
AFTER ALL THIS STUFF HAPPENED.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT WAS THE LOUDEST,

I WOULD SAY, BANG,
LIKE A BIG BOOM.

IT JUST...
THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD SHOOK.

HE HOUSE, THE WINDOWS ‐‐

EVERYTHING.

IT WAS JUST A DIFFERENT
KIND OF SOUND,

AND THEN IT WAS SILENT, NOTHING.

YOUR EARS WERE RINGING
AFTERWARDS,

AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF,

SO I WAS NATURALLY THINKING,
"IT'S A TRANSFORMER.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT'S HAPPENED."

I DON'T KNOW.

STAY HERE.

I NOTICED ALL THE HOUSES ‐‐

ALL THEIR LIGHTS ARE ON
BUT OURS,

ALL OF THEM,
WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE, REALLY.

I MEAN, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT,

THEY SHOULD ALL HAVE BEEN OFF.

WAIT HERE.

THEN I GO BACK INSIDE,
AND I GO DOWN TO THE BASEMENT.

BUT AS I WENT DOWN EACH STEP
INTO THE DARKNESS,

IT WAS A DIFFERENT FEEL.

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
IT FELT...

DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?

IT FELT LIKE EVIL
WAS IN THE BASEMENT.

THE FUSE BOX...

IT LOOKS
LIKE IT EXPLODED.

AND AS I GOT CLOSER
TO THE FUSE BOX,

I DON'T KNOW ‐‐
THE AIR WAS HEAVIER.

IT WAS HARD TO BREATHE.

I COULD SEE THE BURN MARKS
ON THE SIDES OF THE BOX,

SO I KNEW SOMETHING
HAD HAPPENED.

HELP ME.

THE THING ABOUT
SEEING APPARITIONS

IS EVERYBODY ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT,

I ALWAYS SAY, MAGIC FAIRY DUST.

THEY'RE INVISIBLE.
THEY'RE SEE‐THROUGH OR...

AND MAYBE SOME OF THEM ARE,

BUT EVERY ONE THAT
I'VE EVER COME INTO CONTACT WITH

HAS BEEN AS REAL AS YOU AND I,

LIKE YOU COULD REACH OUT
AND TOUCH THEM.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE
THAT I NOTICED

IS THE WAY THAT THEY ACTED,

AND THEY HAVE NO EYES.

WHERE THEIR EYES ARE AT,
IT'S LIFELESS.

IT'S DARK.

AND IT'S SCARY.

BUT IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE
FOREVER WHEN YOU SEE IT

BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU THINK

THAT YOU BELIEVE
CHANGES WITHIN SECONDS.

IT WAS AROUND
2:00 A. M. THAT SAME NIGHT.

SHAUN WAS ASLEEP.

BUT THE BABY WAS KICKING

AND KEEPING ME AWAKE.

THERE'S SOMEONE
IN THE BABY'S ROOM.

ONE OF AMERICA'S
MOST CURSED ARTIFACTS.

IT'S NOT A TOY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HELP ME.

STACE.

STACE?

STACE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I REMEMBER
BEING FREAKED OUT

BECAUSE SHE WAS JUST SWAYING
BACK AND FORTH,

AND SHE WAS MUMBLING SOMETHING.

BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO STARTLE HER

BECAUSE SHE WAS
ON TOP OF THE STAIRS.

I DIDN'T WANT HER TO FALL DOWN.

I THOUGHT MAYBE
SHE WAS SLEEPWALKING.

STACE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

EACH STEP,
I GOT CLOSER AND CLOSER.

FOR A MOMENT, I THOUGHT SHE
LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS HOLDING,

YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU WOULD
HOLD A BABY IN YOUR ARMS.

YOU'RE OKAY.

JUST BREATHE.

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

WHERE'S WHAT?

THE BOX.

I WAS JUST HOLDING IT.

WH‐WHAT BOX?

THE ONE THAT GUY
BROUGHT OVER.

NO, HONEY, ALEX TOOK
IT HOME WITH HIM.

YOU WERE DREAMING.

I WASN'T.

I WASN'T.

THIS DREAM...

FELT LIKE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF
IT WAS A DREAM.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT.

HEY, I'M SORRY
TO CALL LIKE THIS,

BUT A LOT OF WEIRD THINGS
HAVE BEEN HAPPENING LATELY.

SO A FEW DAYS AFTER
ALL THIS STUFF HAPPENED,

I CALLED ALEX ON THE PHONE.

I GUESS I JUST NEEDED
TO TALK TO SOMEBODY

THAT KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

I FOUND STACY AT THE TOP
OF THE STAIRS LAST NIGHT.

SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS
HOLDING THE BOX.

HE TOOK FULL
RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU KNOW, HE TRIED TO TELL ME.

HE TOLD ME,
AND THEN THIS STUFF HAPPENS,

SO WE HAD A LONG TALK.

SHE ALMOST FELL DOWN THE STAIRS
IN SOME WEIRD TRANCE.

SHE KEPT SAYING THIS PHRASE
OVER AND OVER, LIKE...

"KADOSH ADONAI TSEBAYOTH."

HELLO?

I'm still here.

Did she say...

"Kadosh, kadosh, kadosh
adonai tsebayoth"?

I REMEMBER HEARING
MY WIFE MUMBLING,

AND I COULD MAKE OUT THE WORDS,

WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE.

I KNEW IT WASN'T ENGLISH.

IT WAS LIKE NOTHING
I EVER HEARD BEFORE.

You're the third person
who's been near the box

who's reported
a sudden knowledge of Hebrew.

IT WAS A HEBREW PRAYER.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE.
THAT'S LIKE SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

It is speaking
in tongues.

MY WIFE KNOWS NOTHING
ABOUT HEBREW.

Ever since
I came over there,

a lot of weird things have
happened in my family, too.

YOU NEED TO GET RID
OF THAT THING.

ALEX TOLD SHAUN THAT I WAS
SAYING SOME HEBREW PRAYER,

AND IT MEANT...

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY,

THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS.

I WAS TOLD, AT FIRST,
THAT DYBBUK MEANT SOMETHING

THAT ATTACHES ITSELF TO YOU.

IF THE THINGS
YOU SAY ARE TRUE,

THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE FIXED
WITH A SIMPLE FIRE.

A DYBBUK BOX IS
A JEWISH WINE BOX

THAT WAS TRANSFORMED
INTO A PRAYER BOX...

HOPEFULLY, BURYING IT
WILL CONTAIN IT.

...THAT WAS USED
DURING THE HOLOCAUST.

AND...

SOMEHOW,
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY,

IT WENT FROM BEING A SYMBOL
OF GOOD AND HOLY THINGS

TO PURE EVIL.

I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS SOMEONE COULD HAVE
PUT A CURSE ON THIS BOX,

OR SOMETIMES,

THERE'S ATTACHMENTS TO THINGS,

THINGS THAT HAVE WITNESSED...

...STUFF THAT'S SO TERRIBLE,
LIKE THE HOLOCAUST,

AND THE ENERGY

CONSUMES WHATEVER IS AROUND,

AND IT STAYS BURIED
IN THAT ARTIFACT,

JUST WAITING TO UNLEASH
ON SOMEBODY.

HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN
SOME OF THESE THINGS?

MAYBE WE'LL FIND OUT
THROUGH SCIENCE.

MAYBE WE'RE NOT
SUPPOSED TO KNOW.

MAYBE I CROSSED THE BARRIER,

A BARRIER THAT'S NOT MEANT
TO BE CROSSED.
