The Demon in the Dybbuk (Scary Stores To Listen At Night)

I've always been drawn to antique stores—the musty smell of old books, the creaking floorboards, the promise of hidden treasures with stories etched into every scratch and imperfection. Little did I know that a seemingly harmless visit to a quaint store on a quiet street would plunge me and my family into a nightmarish tale beyond our wildest imaginations.

It all began with the box—a small, intricately carved container that exuded an air of mystery. The antique store owner, an elderly man with a twinkle in his eye, explained that the box had a fascinating history. He called it a "dybbuk box," said to be a vessel containing a malevolent spirit from Jewish folklore. The box, he warned, was cursed, and its dark secrets should remain sealed.
