0:37
Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. In two thousand and three,
0:52
Speaker 1: Kevin Manis owned an antique shop right in downtown Portland
0:56
Speaker 1: at the base of the Burnside Bridge, which is considered
0:58
Speaker 1: the gateway to the city. Because Kevin owned this antique shop,
1:01
Speaker 1: he was always at yard sales and estate sales looking
1:05
Speaker 1: to find the next thing he could sell at a shop.
1:07
Speaker 1: And so one day there was this estate sale over
1:09
Speaker 1: at this woman's house. She had just passed away. She
1:12
Speaker 1: was about one hundred and three years old. She was
1:14
Speaker 1: a Holocaust survivor and her estate was being sold, and
1:17
Speaker 1: so he goes over to the house and he sees
1:19
Speaker 1: the way they're selling all of her items is by
1:21
Speaker 1: bundling them in different lots. So depending on what item
1:24
Speaker 1: it was, they'd be bundled with similar items and then
1:27
Speaker 1: sold as a package. So the people there would be
1:29
Speaker 1: bidding on the whole lot. They couldn't buy individual items.
1:33
Speaker 1: And Kevin had his eye on one particular lot called
1:36
Speaker 1: lot twenty nine, and Lot twenty nine included a couple
1:39
Speaker 1: of small tools that he wanted to sell in a shop,
1:41
Speaker 1: and it had this mystery box and that's exactly as
1:44
Speaker 1: it was labeled. It just says mystery box on it.
1:47
Speaker 1: And he was intrigued by it, and so he placed
1:49
Speaker 1: a bid on Lot twenty nine, and ultimately he won
1:52
Speaker 1: the bid, and he was really happy about it. So
1:54
Speaker 1: he takes the contents of Lot twenty nine and he
1:56
Speaker 1: wheels them over to his car, and as he's loading
1:58
Speaker 1: stuff into the back of his car, someone behind him says, oh,
2:02
Speaker 1: so he went with a dipock box. Huh. And Kevin
2:04
Speaker 1: in his head went right back to his childhood because
2:06
Speaker 1: growing up he had always been scared of dippicks, because
2:10
Speaker 1: a dipock is a malevolent spirit and Jewish folklore, and
2:13
Speaker 1: Kevin was Jewish, and so his parents used to say, Oh,
2:16
Speaker 1: you better not do that, Kevin, or the Dipic's gonna
2:18
Speaker 1: get you. And so he grew up terrified of dipicks,
2:21
Speaker 1: and so his interest is pequd And Kevin turns around
2:23
Speaker 1: and he says, did you just call this box a
2:25
Speaker 1: dipic box? And the woman's like, yeah, And my grandmother
2:29
Speaker 1: was terrified of it, and she said no one could
2:31
Speaker 1: ever open it. And Kevin turns to look at the
2:33
Speaker 1: box and it's about two foot high by one foot wide,
2:36
Speaker 1: and there are these little doors that swing open on
2:38
Speaker 1: the front, and then on the bottom there's a drawer
2:40
Speaker 1: that comes out, and there's one lock that sits across
2:42
Speaker 1: the two doors, and it's currently locked with a little padlock.
2:45
Speaker 1: And he looks up at her and he goes, why
2:47
Speaker 1: can't you open it? And the woman just says, we
2:49
Speaker 1: never knew, but our grandmother would always go every time
2:52
Speaker 1: we said the word dipock, and so it was weird
2:54
Speaker 1: enough that we just never asked any questions and we
2:57
Speaker 1: stayed away from her dipic box. Kevin agreed that was
2:59
Speaker 1: pretty weak, and he finished loading his car, shut the trunk,
3:02
Speaker 1: said by to the woman, hopped in his car, and
3:04
Speaker 1: he drove away. And he never really gave it a
3:06
Speaker 1: second thought. At this point, he's not thinking the depic
3:09
Speaker 1: box is anything malevolent. He thinks it's just some random
3:13
Speaker 1: chest that he won at an auction. Kevin drives back
3:15
Speaker 1: to his antique shop and he begins unloading all the
3:18
Speaker 1: things he won at the auction. He brings them inside,
3:21
Speaker 1: and he brings them downstairs because the top floor, the
3:23
Speaker 1: main floor, was really where he sold things. When he
3:26
Speaker 1: got new items, he would bring them downstairs to his
3:28
Speaker 1: warehouse of sorts, which was much bigger than the first floor,
3:31
Speaker 1: had lots of rows of shelving, and it had a
3:33
Speaker 1: workstation down there. He would bring his new things down
3:36
Speaker 1: there and he would price them and get them ready
3:38
Speaker 1: before bringing them back up. And at some point he
3:41
Speaker 1: brought the dipic box in and he brought it down
3:43
Speaker 1: and he put it on the back table. He was
3:45
Speaker 1: about to just leave it there and go back upstairs,
3:47
Speaker 1: when suddenly he became really curious and he really wanted
3:50
Speaker 1: to open the dipic box, and so he goes over
3:53
Speaker 1: and he kind of yanks in the front two doors.
3:54
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to damage it, but he can tell
3:56
Speaker 1: this lock is relatively new and it's not just going
3:59
Speaker 1: to come off, and so he doesn't have the key
4:01
Speaker 1: to it, and he doesn't have a way to clip
4:02
Speaker 1: the lock, and so he takes a screwdriver and he
4:05
Speaker 1: basically wedges it underneath the actual metal clasps that are
4:08
Speaker 1: attached to the wood, and he slowly kind of bends
4:11
Speaker 1: it up and bends it off and pops it out
4:13
Speaker 1: of the wood. And as soon as he does that,
4:15
Speaker 1: the doors swing open. And there's like a mechanical device
4:18
Speaker 1: inside of the dipic box that activates the drawer. Basically,
4:22
Speaker 1: anytime the door's open, the drawer also opens at the
4:25
Speaker 1: same time. And Kevin remembered thinking how silly it was
4:28
Speaker 1: that this kind of old, crummy looking wine closet had
4:32
Speaker 1: this fairly complicated mechanism inside of it that still worked.
4:35
Speaker 1: Inside the dipic box were two pennies from the nineteen twenties.
4:38
Speaker 1: There was a used candle, there were two locks of hair,
4:42
Speaker 1: there was this small tombstone that said Shalom on it,
4:46
Speaker 1: and there was also a small wine goblet that was inside,
4:49
Speaker 1: and that was it. And Kevin immediately thought, well, this
4:51
Speaker 1: is just some older woman's keepsake, and these things maybe
4:54
Speaker 1: have sentimental value to her, but they don't to me,
4:57
Speaker 1: and so he shut the dipic box, pushed it to
4:59
Speaker 1: the side of the and walked upstairs and didn't give
5:02
Speaker 1: it another thought. Kevin had one employee at the antique shop.
5:05
Speaker 1: Her name was Jane. She was a younger woman. She
5:07
Speaker 1: was an incredible saleswoman, and Kevin thought very highly of her.
5:11
Speaker 1: And so the day after he had brought the Diviot
5:13
Speaker 1: box into the antique shop and put it downstairs on
5:15
Speaker 1: the desk, he needed to run out and do some errands,
5:18
Speaker 1: and so he put Jane in charge of the store,
5:20
Speaker 1: and so Kevin leaves and Jane locks the front door
5:22
Speaker 1: to the shop behind Kevin because she needed to go
5:25
Speaker 1: downstairs and get a few items that she wanted to
5:27
Speaker 1: bring upstairs to sell that day, and it was before
5:30
Speaker 1: opening time, so front doors locked. No one else is
5:33
Speaker 1: inside the shop, and Jane goes down into the basement.
5:37
Speaker 1: Once you went down the wooden steps into the basement,
5:39
Speaker 1: you'd be looking out at this huge room of all
5:42
Speaker 1: these industrial shelves that run the length of the room
5:45
Speaker 1: where they would keep their antiques and other valuables on
5:48
Speaker 1: and the lighting down there was never that great because
5:50
Speaker 1: they used these long fluorescent tube lights that at best
5:54
Speaker 1: cast a kind of subtle yellow glow on everything. They
5:57
Speaker 1: were not particularly bright, and there was a real pain
6:00
Speaker 1: to actually go up and change them because you needed
6:03
Speaker 1: to place a ladder, but the ladders were not perfectly
6:06
Speaker 1: aligned with the lights. You basically had to reach over
6:09
Speaker 1: the shelving where all the antiques were, and you ran
6:11
Speaker 1: the risk of knocking things over. And so a lot
6:13
Speaker 1: of times Jane and Kevin would wait until you were
6:16
Speaker 1: down to like one or two crappy working lights before
6:20
Speaker 1: they'd say, okay, we really got to go up there
6:22
Speaker 1: and replace some of these bulbs. And so, as it
6:24
Speaker 1: happens this day, they're down to like two or three
6:27
Speaker 1: working lights. So, in classic horror movie fashion, she's going
6:31
Speaker 1: into this dingy basement with very poor lighting, and so
6:34
Speaker 1: once she gets to the bottom of the steps, she
6:35
Speaker 1: walks to the far end of the room a little
6:37
Speaker 1: bit away from where the depiic box was placed on
6:40
Speaker 1: that back table. She's in the other corner, in the
6:42
Speaker 1: back of this basement and she's getting some things off
6:45
Speaker 1: the shelf when all of a sudden, she stops and
6:48
Speaker 1: she can't help but shake the feeling that she feels
6:50
Speaker 1: like someone is watching her. Now. She is down in
6:53
Speaker 1: this basement all the time, whether it's well lit or dark,
6:57
Speaker 1: whether Kevin is there, whether or she's alone. This is
7:00
Speaker 1: place she goes all the time, and she's never had
7:03
Speaker 1: this feeling before. There's no way to get into the
7:06
Speaker 1: basement unless you come down the stairs, and she locked
7:09
Speaker 1: the front door and she was the only one who
7:11
Speaker 1: came downstairs. She hasn't heard anything. There's no other way
7:13
Speaker 1: to leave this space. So she doesn't know where she's
7:16
Speaker 1: getting this feeling from, but she really can't shake it.
7:19
Speaker 1: And as she's kind of looking around and she's starting
7:21
Speaker 1: to get a little bit paranoid, the phone rings. They
7:24
Speaker 1: had a landline that was on a table right at
7:26
Speaker 1: the base of the stairs. The phone rings down there
7:28
Speaker 1: and it startles her and then it kind of jumps
7:30
Speaker 1: her back into reality and she's like, Okay, I'm getting paranoid,
7:33
Speaker 1: and she walks over and she picks up the phone
7:35
Speaker 1: and it's actually her friend who was planning on coming
7:37
Speaker 1: by the antique shop that day. So as they're chatting,
7:40
Speaker 1: Jane hears what sounds like a broom. Imagine if a
7:44
Speaker 1: push broom is lined up against the wall and then
7:46
Speaker 1: it falls over. The sound that the wooden stick would
7:48
Speaker 1: make as it hits concrete. That's the sound she hears
7:51
Speaker 1: as she's on the phone, and it startles her again
7:54
Speaker 1: and she goes, hey, let me call you back. She
7:55
Speaker 1: hangs up on her friend and she's looking out and
7:58
Speaker 1: because the lighting is terrible from where she is, she's
8:00
Speaker 1: now at the foot of the stairs looking down all
8:02
Speaker 1: these rows, and she's heard that stick land on the
8:05
Speaker 1: ground on the far side, back where she had been originally.
8:07
Speaker 1: She's kind of looking around and she can't see anything,
8:10
Speaker 1: and so she takes a deep breath and she begins
8:12
Speaker 1: walking down the rose to see what fell over. And
8:14
Speaker 1: as she's walking down the row, something smashes behind her
8:18
Speaker 1: and she turns around and one of the fluorescent tube
8:21
Speaker 1: lights has fallen from the ceiling and smashed onto the ground,
8:24
Speaker 1: and so all of a sudden, she doesn't want to
8:25
Speaker 1: explore this falling broom that's behind her in the dark
8:28
Speaker 1: corner of the basement. Instead, she's ready to leave, and
8:32
Speaker 1: so she starts walking back towards the stairs to get
8:34
Speaker 1: out of here. And as she's walking down one of
8:36
Speaker 1: these rows, a wooden chair that is on one of
8:39
Speaker 1: the shelves comes flying off of it and lands squarely
8:42
Speaker 1: in the middle, blocking her path. And there's no way
8:45
Speaker 1: this could have happened unless someone pushed this chair. And
8:48
Speaker 1: suddenly she thinks someone's down here with me, and she screams,
8:52
Speaker 1: and she hurtles the chair and she runs to the steps.
8:55
Speaker 1: She starts running up, and to her horror, there is
8:58
Speaker 1: a metal door that the basement at night, so if
9:01
Speaker 1: someone were to break in, it's another layer to protect
9:03
Speaker 1: the store from bebes. And it was shut and locked.
9:07
Speaker 1: It can only be locked from the outside and with
9:10
Speaker 1: a key, so there's no way she would have done
9:11
Speaker 1: this by accident. And now she's freaking out because she's
9:14
Speaker 1: trapped in the basement with some person running around, pushing
9:18
Speaker 1: chairs over and breaking lights. And so she grabs the
9:20
Speaker 1: gate and she starts shaking it, and she's yelling for Kevin,
9:23
Speaker 1: thinking maybe he came in and for god, I was
9:26
Speaker 1: down here and shut and locked the gate. And she's
9:27
Speaker 1: checking over her shoulder, looking down into the basement and
9:30
Speaker 1: she starts hearing more lights falling off the ceiling and
9:34
Speaker 1: shattering on the ground. She is in absolute panic mode.
9:37
Speaker 1: She's just waiting for someone to come bounding up the
9:39
Speaker 1: stairs towards her. She has no idea what to do.
9:41
Speaker 1: She pulls out her phone and she calls Kevin. Meanwhile,
9:44
Speaker 1: Kevin is making his way back to the antique shop.
9:47
Speaker 1: He's only a couple minutes away, and he sees his
9:49
Speaker 1: phone ringing that was sitting on the passenger seat, and
9:51
Speaker 1: he picks it up and it's Jane and he answers
9:53
Speaker 1: and immediately Jane is hysterical and she's screaming that someone's
9:57
Speaker 1: in the antique shop that's breaking things. And Kevin's like,
10:00
Speaker 1: slow down, slow down, what's going on? And all he
10:02
Speaker 1: can hear in the background is the sound of what
10:04
Speaker 1: sounds like glass shattering and things falling and breaking, and
10:07
Speaker 1: he's like, wait, what's going on? Are you okay? Jane?
10:10
Speaker 1: Like where are you? And he hears her say someone's
10:13
Speaker 1: in the basement, and he goes, where are you and
10:16
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm in the basement, and he was like,
10:18
Speaker 1: get out of the basement, call the police, But as
10:21
Speaker 1: he's trying to get her to do that, the phone
10:22
Speaker 1: cuts out. Kevin was only about a block away from
10:25
Speaker 1: his shop, so he floors it to his shop. He
10:27
Speaker 1: parks outside, and he's thinking to himself, what am I
10:29
Speaker 1: walking into? Is there going to be like an active
10:31
Speaker 1: burglary going on? Is she gonna be held hostage? Like
10:34
Speaker 1: are the police going to be there? But he just
10:36
Speaker 1: knows he needs to get in there to Jane. And
10:38
Speaker 1: he gets to the front door and it's locked, So
10:40
Speaker 1: he unlocks the front door and he goes inside and
10:42
Speaker 1: it's silent, and he's looking around. There's no damage to
10:45
Speaker 1: the first floor, there's no damage anywhere, and he yells
10:47
Speaker 1: for Jane. There's no answer from Jane, and he starts
10:50
Speaker 1: walking kind of tentatively through the store towards the back
10:53
Speaker 1: and he gets to that door leading down into the basement,
10:55
Speaker 1: the same one that Jane couldn't open when she ran
10:58
Speaker 1: up the stairs to get out of the basement, and
11:00
Speaker 1: he looks at it and Jane's not at the top
11:02
Speaker 1: of the stairs anymore, and he's thinking I didn't lock
11:05
Speaker 1: that door, and I'm the only one with the key
11:07
Speaker 1: to lock that door. How is it locked right now?
11:09
Speaker 1: Does Jane have a key that I don't know about?
11:10
Speaker 1: And why would she lock it? Does that mean Jane's
11:12
Speaker 1: up here somewhere? Is that what happened? And he's like, Jane,
11:15
Speaker 1: come out, did you lock this door? But Jane's not
11:18
Speaker 1: on the first floor, and their first floor is very small,
11:21
Speaker 1: and so he thinks, okay, she has to be downstairs,
11:23
Speaker 1: and so he opens up the gate. He swings it open,
11:25
Speaker 1: and he starts walking down the steps, and he's really
11:27
Speaker 1: cautious as he's going down because again he has no
11:30
Speaker 1: idea what he's walking into. He hits the lights, but
11:33
Speaker 1: the lights don't work down there, and as he starts
11:35
Speaker 1: to bend around the corner where he can actually see
11:37
Speaker 1: into the basement, he sees Jane sitting at the chair
11:40
Speaker 1: right next to that table where that phone is, and
11:42
Speaker 1: she's just sitting there kind of stunned. And he goes
11:45
Speaker 1: to Jane and he's like, what happened down here? And
11:47
Speaker 1: he glances out quickly at all the rows and he
11:49
Speaker 1: sees all this furniture that's come off the shelves and
11:52
Speaker 1: there's glass all over the ground, and he's looking at
11:54
Speaker 1: Jane and Jane's just showing no reaction. She's sitting there
11:57
Speaker 1: like she's in shock. And he turns to Jane again
11:59
Speaker 1: and he says, come on, you got to tell me
12:00
Speaker 1: what happened down here, and Jane just goes, I don't know.
12:04
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain what happened down here.
12:06
Speaker 1: I was walking down the row and then I felt
12:09
Speaker 1: like someone was watching me, and then things are falling
12:11
Speaker 1: off the ceiling and the shelves. I've never seen anything
12:14
Speaker 1: like this before. Now at this point, Kevin's adrenaline is
12:17
Speaker 1: through the roof. He came charging in here thinking he
12:20
Speaker 1: was gonna have to save Jane from some person breaking
12:22
Speaker 1: in and breaking stuff, But as far as he can tell,
12:25
Speaker 1: there's no one here but Jane. And so he decides
12:28
Speaker 1: he's gonna take a flashlight and he's gonna explore the
12:30
Speaker 1: basement because either there's someone here or Jane did this.
12:33
Speaker 1: So he grabs his flashlight and he starts walking around,
12:35
Speaker 1: and all he sees is a bunch of broken glass
12:38
Speaker 1: and some furniture that's come off the shelves and a
12:40
Speaker 1: couple of other things that are on the ground, but
12:42
Speaker 1: other than that, there's no one down here, and there's
12:44
Speaker 1: no other way to come in or out of here
12:47
Speaker 1: besides the stairs. So after Kevin is certain that no
12:50
Speaker 1: one else is here, he turns to Jane and he
12:52
Speaker 1: regrets this now. He says in an interview that he
12:54
Speaker 1: feels horrible about this now, But at the time he's
12:58
Speaker 1: thinking to himself, you know, this had to have been Jane.
13:00
Speaker 1: Who else would have done this. I don't know why
13:03
Speaker 1: she did this, but there's no one else here, and
13:06
Speaker 1: he goes, Jane, did you do this? And this is
13:08
Speaker 1: when Jane's emotions came through, because before she was in shock,
13:11
Speaker 1: now she's mad, and she goes, f you, Kevin, and
13:14
Speaker 1: she leaves and she doesn't say another word to him,
13:16
Speaker 1: and she doesn't come back. She quits on the spot.
13:19
Speaker 1: But at the time Kevin believes she had done it,
13:21
Speaker 1: so he was kind of like, oh well, he was
13:23
Speaker 1: not even a little bit thinking the dipoic box had
13:26
Speaker 1: anything to do with this. Just a couple of days
13:29
Speaker 1: after the basement incident, Kevin's mother was supposed to come
13:31
Speaker 1: by the antique shop and the two of them were
13:34
Speaker 1: going to leave and get lunch together to celebrate her birthday.
13:36
Speaker 1: As soon as she walked into the shop, Kevin goes, hey, Mom,
13:39
Speaker 1: I got a gift for you, and he brings over
13:41
Speaker 1: this wrapped box and he sets it down on a
13:43
Speaker 1: table right in front of his mother, who's sitting on
13:45
Speaker 1: a chair, and he unwraps it and it's the depic box.
13:47
Speaker 1: Before Kevin can explain what it is, the phone rings
13:50
Speaker 1: at the other end of the store and he was
13:51
Speaker 1: expecting a call, and he goes, hold on, mom, I
13:53
Speaker 1: gotta get this, and he goes to the back of
13:55
Speaker 1: the store to answer the call while his mom is
13:58
Speaker 1: just sitting there looking at the box. And so, while
14:00
Speaker 1: Kevin is at the other end of the store, his
14:02
Speaker 1: mother opens the dipic box and she says she had
14:04
Speaker 1: to sit down as soon as she opened it because
14:07
Speaker 1: she had this unbelievable overwhelming sense of dread as soon
14:11
Speaker 1: as the doors were open, and she's staring at it
14:13
Speaker 1: like she can't take her eyes away, and then all
14:15
Speaker 1: of a sudden, she has a massive stroke and so
14:18
Speaker 1: she keels over and she can't move and she can't talk,
14:21
Speaker 1: and Kevin sees this happening, he runs over and he's like, Mom,
14:24
Speaker 1: what's going on? Calls nine to one one, and as
14:26
Speaker 1: the paramedics are working on her, she would say that
14:29
Speaker 1: while she was in this kind of paralyzed state, when
14:31
Speaker 1: she couldn't talk and she couldn't move, all she wanted
14:34
Speaker 1: to communicate was to somehow get her son to get
14:37
Speaker 1: rid of that box. She didn't know why, but she
14:40
Speaker 1: felt like the box had something to do with her
14:42
Speaker 1: having this stroke, and so all she could do was
14:44
Speaker 1: move her eyes. And so she found herself because her
14:46
Speaker 1: son's right here looking at the dipic box and looking away,
14:49
Speaker 1: looking at the dippic box, looking away, hoping her son
14:51
Speaker 1: would see her eyes as a signal to look at
14:55
Speaker 1: the divot box and put it together that that thing's bad.
14:58
Speaker 1: And Kevin does realize that his mom is flicking her
15:00
Speaker 1: eyes at the dipic box, but in the moment, he's
15:03
Speaker 1: much more concerned about the health of his mother. And
15:05
Speaker 1: it wasn't until she got put in a hospital and
15:07
Speaker 1: she was being taken care of and he knew she'd
15:09
Speaker 1: be okay that he remembers he kind of went over
15:12
Speaker 1: it in his head later that day that his mom
15:14
Speaker 1: was really scared looking and she was looking at the
15:17
Speaker 1: Dipic box like that was the thing that was causing
15:20
Speaker 1: her to be scared, not the stroke, the Dipic box,
15:23
Speaker 1: and Kevin starts thinking to himself, I don't know, there's
15:26
Speaker 1: something off about the Dipic box. Either it's really bad
15:29
Speaker 1: luck or there's some truth too. You don't open up
15:32
Speaker 1: this dipic box. Either way, I don't want to take
15:34
Speaker 1: any more chances, because so long as I've owned this thing,
15:38
Speaker 1: I've had a horrible thing happened in the basement, and
15:40
Speaker 1: now my mom's had a stroke. So I want to
15:42
Speaker 1: get rid of it. So Kevin puts the Dipic box
15:45
Speaker 1: at the front of his antique store and he puts
15:47
Speaker 1: it up for sale, and very quickly a young couple
15:49
Speaker 1: came into the store and they bought the Dippic box,
15:52
Speaker 1: and Kevin's relieved. He's like, thank goodness, that bad luck charm,
15:55
Speaker 1: that whatever's going on with that thing is gone and
15:58
Speaker 1: out of my life. But just a couple of days later,
16:01
Speaker 1: he was in the back of the shop when he
16:02
Speaker 1: heard the door open and then the door shut, and
16:04
Speaker 1: he walked out, expecting to see some customers, but instead
16:07
Speaker 1: he sees the dippic box that's sitting right inside a store.
16:11
Speaker 1: Someone must have just dropped it off, and so he
16:13
Speaker 1: walks up to it and he sees there's a piece
16:15
Speaker 1: of paper that's been taped to the top of the
16:17
Speaker 1: dipic box and there's writing on it, and all it
16:19
Speaker 1: says is this has an odd darkness about it. This
16:23
Speaker 1: really freaked Kevin out because in a way, it was
16:26
Speaker 1: like other people were confirming that something was wrong with
16:29
Speaker 1: this box. Kevin did not want the depic box to
16:32
Speaker 1: be in his store, so he put it in his
16:33
Speaker 1: car and he drove back to his house and he
16:35
Speaker 1: put it in his storage locker and he locked it
16:38
Speaker 1: up and then went back to work for the day.
16:39
Speaker 1: That night, when he went home, he went to bed
16:41
Speaker 1: and he had this dream where in the dream, he's
16:44
Speaker 1: walking in this courtyard and he's holding the hand of
16:47
Speaker 1: this woman who he believes is his friend, and he
16:49
Speaker 1: trusts this person, and the area he's in feels very friendly,
16:53
Speaker 1: and it's a very positive dream. And as he's walking,
16:56
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this person starts to pull away
16:58
Speaker 1: from him and he can't move anymore, and he's losing
17:01
Speaker 1: the grip on this person's hand. And they keep moving
17:04
Speaker 1: and moving until their hand is out of his and
17:06
Speaker 1: they disappear into the corner of the courtyard where it's
17:08
Speaker 1: totally dark, and so he's looking into the darkness waiting
17:11
Speaker 1: for his friend to come out again, and he can't move.
17:13
Speaker 1: He's anchored to the spot. And as he's looking, he
17:16
Speaker 1: sees what looks like an old woman walking out of
17:18
Speaker 1: the mist, and her head is down and he can't
17:21
Speaker 1: tell what she's doing, and she's pretty far away, and
17:23
Speaker 1: she's walking closer and closer to him, and when she's
17:26
Speaker 1: about five six feet away, she raises her head up
17:28
Speaker 1: and her whole face is falling off. While the skin
17:31
Speaker 1: is falling off of her face, it's rotting. She's like
17:33
Speaker 1: a corpse and she raises her hands up in front
17:36
Speaker 1: of her. Then she grabs his face and begins pulling
17:39
Speaker 1: off pieces of his face until he suddenly wakes up.
17:42
Speaker 1: Kevin had to compose himself in bed because he was
17:44
Speaker 1: so scared from the dream he just had. He sits
17:47
Speaker 1: up and he goes into the bathroom to get a
17:49
Speaker 1: sip of water, and as he walks past the mirror,
17:51
Speaker 1: he notices there are marks on his shoulders and his
17:54
Speaker 1: arms that he did not have before. It looks like
17:56
Speaker 1: bruising almost, and he's looking at them and he's thinking, no,
18:00
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with the dream. This is
18:02
Speaker 1: just coincidence that, you know, she was grabbing me in
18:05
Speaker 1: this area and the dream and now I have marks there.
18:07
Speaker 1: It's just coincidence. And so he kind of writes it
18:09
Speaker 1: off and he goes back to bed and he has
18:12
Speaker 1: the same dream. He gets up again and he's breathing heavily,
18:16
Speaker 1: he's sweating because he just had the same dream. It
18:18
Speaker 1: was this terrifying dream. And he goes back into the
18:20
Speaker 1: bathroom and now his entire back is covered in bruises.
18:24
Speaker 1: He has bruises all over his back, all over his arms,
18:27
Speaker 1: he's got red marks on his neck. And now in
18:29
Speaker 1: his mind he feels like it has to do with
18:31
Speaker 1: the dipic box. The divot box is now in my backyard.
18:34
Speaker 1: It's not a coincidence that all of a sudden, I'm
18:37
Speaker 1: having these horrific dreams that are apparently manifesting themselves in
18:40
Speaker 1: bruises and marks on my actual body. And so Kevin
18:43
Speaker 1: is done with a dipict box, and instead of going
18:45
Speaker 1: back to bed, he goes to his computer, and he
18:47
Speaker 1: puts the dipict box on eBay up for sale, and
18:49
Speaker 1: that night, two college kids named Sam and Brian who
18:52
Speaker 1: lived in Missouri, they buy the dipic box, and Kevin
18:55
Speaker 1: could not be happier to package that thing up and
18:58
Speaker 1: ship it off. Sam and Brian had seen the ad
19:01
Speaker 1: on eBay for the dipoc box, and at first it
19:03
Speaker 1: did not seem remarkable, but they saw that Kevin had
19:06
Speaker 1: given this really detailed description of all the strange things
19:09
Speaker 1: that had happened for him since he owned the dipoc box.
19:12
Speaker 1: And I think clearly Kevin's angle was he was almost
19:14
Speaker 1: trying to advertise it to groups of people that might
19:16
Speaker 1: be interested in that, and Sam and Brian were exactly
19:19
Speaker 1: that demographic because they were looking for things online that
19:22
Speaker 1: were considered haunted. They wanted to see if ghosts and
19:26
Speaker 1: the paranormal were real, and so they were eager to
19:29
Speaker 1: buy the dipic box and test it out. And so
19:31
Speaker 1: three weeks later, when this package finally arrives in Missouri
19:34
Speaker 1: at their house, Brian was still out at class, but
19:37
Speaker 1: Sam was home, so he receives the package. He eagerly
19:40
Speaker 1: brings it into the kitchen. He unpackages it and he
19:42
Speaker 1: sets it on the kitchen table, and just a few
19:44
Speaker 1: minutes later, Brian comes home and Brian would say in
19:47
Speaker 1: interviews that when he walked in it smelled like someone
19:50
Speaker 1: had peed all over the apartment, like there was urine everywhere,
19:54
Speaker 1: and he's walking around thinking, what happened? This smells so
19:56
Speaker 1: bad in here, And he walks into the kitchen where
19:59
Speaker 1: it was the strongest, and there's Sam proudly standing next
20:02
Speaker 1: to this awful looking chest, which was, of course the
20:05
Speaker 1: Divot box, and he realizes, Brian does that the Divic
20:08
Speaker 1: box is what smells like urine, and he goes, Sam,
20:10
Speaker 1: do you smell that? And Sam's like, yeah, that's the
20:12
Speaker 1: smell of ghosts. Sam would pick it up and go
20:16
Speaker 1: to Brian as soon as you walked into the kitchen,
20:18
Speaker 1: and Sam joked about how he couldn't wait to sleep
20:21
Speaker 1: in the same bed as the Dipic box. They were
20:23
Speaker 1: just making a big joke out of it. Sam had
20:25
Speaker 1: also set up a blog where he was going to
20:26
Speaker 1: document everything that happened from day one of receiving this
20:30
Speaker 1: Dipic box to whenever they got rid of it, or
20:33
Speaker 1: till whenever something happened and For the first two weeks
20:35
Speaker 1: they had the dipoc box in their possession, nothing did happen.
20:38
Speaker 1: But when Sam started bringing the dipic box out and
20:41
Speaker 1: leaving it right in the middle of these huge parties,
20:43
Speaker 1: they would throw or people were spilling beer on it,
20:45
Speaker 1: and they were opening it up and putting things inside
20:47
Speaker 1: of it and making jokes with it. When they were
20:50
Speaker 1: doing that to the dipic box, suddenly they started seeing
20:53
Speaker 1: a pretty significant uptick in strangeness inside of their house.
20:56
Speaker 1: It started with their technology. Sam's laptop crashed and the
21:00
Speaker 1: hard drive was unrecoverable, so we had to replace his laptop.
21:03
Speaker 1: All of their watches just didn't work while they were
21:05
Speaker 1: in the house, no matter what they did, no matter
21:07
Speaker 1: when they fixed it, the watch just simply did not work.
21:10
Speaker 1: Their Xbox would not turn on, but when they brought
21:12
Speaker 1: it to another person's house it worked just fine. It
21:15
Speaker 1: just couldn't work inside of their house. And the toaster
21:18
Speaker 1: anytime you turned it on it basically immediately incinerated whatever
21:22
Speaker 1: you put inside of it. But none of these technological
21:24
Speaker 1: difficulties were frightening to Sam or Brian. They were just frustrating,
21:28
Speaker 1: and I don't even think they were connecting them with
21:30
Speaker 1: the divoct box. It was just this thing that was
21:33
Speaker 1: happening to them. It wasn't until the light bulbs in
21:36
Speaker 1: their house started bursting in the middle of the night
21:38
Speaker 1: that they started to get pretty creeped out about some
21:40
Speaker 1: of the things that were happening in their apartment. That now,
21:43
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it did seem like, you know,
21:45
Speaker 1: maybe if the divct box really is cursed, this might
21:48
Speaker 1: be how it would manifest. And so they'd replaced the
21:50
Speaker 1: light bulb and then sure enough, it would burst again,
21:53
Speaker 1: and they couldn't keep light bulbs in because they kept popping,
21:55
Speaker 1: and so their house was dark a lot of the time.
21:58
Speaker 1: But the worst part was when they had this massive
22:00
Speaker 1: insect infestation inside of their apartment, and they were really
22:04
Speaker 1: localized around the dipct box. All these insects would come
22:07
Speaker 1: out of the walls, out of the toilets, out of
22:10
Speaker 1: the sink, they'd come from behind the fridge, and they
22:12
Speaker 1: would all kind of like converge on the dipoc box
22:15
Speaker 1: and go inside of it. The dipoc box at one
22:17
Speaker 1: point was swarming with insects all over and they had
22:20
Speaker 1: to shut the door. They couldn't even go in the
22:22
Speaker 1: room with the dipict box because it was just covered
22:24
Speaker 1: in insects. But despite how scary this was for the boys,
22:27
Speaker 1: they had become kind of like a cool talking point
22:30
Speaker 1: on campus because of Sam's blog that a lot of
22:33
Speaker 1: other students were following, and so the boys kind of
22:36
Speaker 1: liked the clout they got with that, and they decided
22:38
Speaker 1: they didn't want to get rid of the box after all.
22:39
Speaker 1: But it wasn't long after the insect infestation that Sam
22:43
Speaker 1: began losing all of his hair, and at the same time,
22:46
Speaker 1: he started having this constant hallucination that there was an
22:50
Speaker 1: old woman in his peripheral vision on either side of
22:52
Speaker 1: his head pretty much at all times. Anywhere he went,
22:55
Speaker 1: there basically was someone he couldn't quite see following him around.
22:59
Speaker 1: Whether he is well rested, whether he was totally exhausted,
23:02
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. He always saw this shrouded, dark figure
23:06
Speaker 1: that he believed was an old woman, and it scared
23:08
Speaker 1: him so much he couldn't sleep, and so he began
23:11
Speaker 1: going into Brian's room and sitting on Brian's bed because
23:14
Speaker 1: it was the one place he felt a little bit
23:16
Speaker 1: of comfort. And as he's sitting on the bed, he
23:18
Speaker 1: would see these dark figures standing on either side of
23:21
Speaker 1: him all night. And so finally, no matter how cool
23:23
Speaker 1: their blog was, it became too much and they decide
23:26
Speaker 1: we have to get rid of the dipict Box, and
23:28
Speaker 1: so they put it on eBay, and very quickly it
23:30
Speaker 1: gets sold to a guy named Jason, who is this
23:33
Speaker 1: museum director over at this other university in Missouri, and
23:36
Speaker 1: he had actually been following along with Sam's blog. He
23:39
Speaker 1: was very interested in what was going on with the
23:41
Speaker 1: Divic Box, and when it was listed for sale, he
23:44
Speaker 1: was all over it. He wanted to buy it. So
23:45
Speaker 1: the boys eagerly ship off the Dipic Box and Jason
23:48
Speaker 1: receives it in the middle of a work day. So
23:50
Speaker 1: he puts the package in his truck and he goes
23:52
Speaker 1: upstairs and he works the day, and then afterwards, when
23:55
Speaker 1: everyone's left the office, he goes downstairs, gets the package,
23:58
Speaker 1: brings it back up to his office, puts it on
24:00
Speaker 1: his desk, and he cuts open the packaging. Jason decided
24:03
Speaker 1: he wanted to evaluate the Dipic Box the way he
24:06
Speaker 1: would evaluate any other antique or item that was coming
24:09
Speaker 1: into the museum that he was the director of, and
24:12
Speaker 1: so Jason starts by taking a whole bunch of pictures
24:15
Speaker 1: all around the outside of the DIPIC box, and then
24:17
Speaker 1: he gets his black light out and he begins scanning
24:20
Speaker 1: around the outside and he finds all these traces of
24:23
Speaker 1: wax all over the outside, which leads him to believe
24:26
Speaker 1: this was probably used in some sort of ritual. And
24:28
Speaker 1: then he takes a deep breath and he sits down
24:30
Speaker 1: right in front of the DipC box and he pops
24:33
Speaker 1: off the lock and he gets ready and he opens
24:36
Speaker 1: the doors and the drawer slides out with that whole
24:38
Speaker 1: mechanical device. It all kind of comes open, and Jason's
24:41
Speaker 1: totally let down because nothing happens. And part of him
24:44
Speaker 1: thought like, if this thing is haunted, as soon as
24:47
Speaker 1: you open it up, the haunting's going to begin. And
24:50
Speaker 1: nothing happened, and he's pretty let down about it. And
24:52
Speaker 1: so ultimately, after staring at it and looking at the
24:55
Speaker 1: pennies that are in there, and the Shalom statue and
24:59
Speaker 1: the locks of hair, he's just kind of let down
25:01
Speaker 1: by it, and he decides, Okay, I kind of got
25:03
Speaker 1: my hopes up for something. This was clearly a hoax.
25:05
Speaker 1: There's nothing going on. Here, it's just a random old chest,
25:08
Speaker 1: and so he closes it up and he puts it
25:10
Speaker 1: on another desk that wasn't the one that he worked at,
25:13
Speaker 1: but was just kind of another table inside of this
25:15
Speaker 1: office that he shared with some other people. And he
25:17
Speaker 1: figured it would be a good talking point to tell
25:19
Speaker 1: his colleagues about and it would be kind of like
25:21
Speaker 1: a show piece. So the next day his colleagues come
25:23
Speaker 1: in and he explains what a divic box is, then
25:26
Speaker 1: the history around it, that it's supposed to be haunted,
25:28
Speaker 1: and you know, it makes people sick and gives people strokes,
25:32
Speaker 1: and you know, there's been insects that have been known
25:34
Speaker 1: to come out of it and go into it. It's
25:36
Speaker 1: this very creepy thing. And his colleagues are like, wow,
25:39
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, but they don't think much of it
25:41
Speaker 1: until all of the electronics inside of their office start
25:45
Speaker 1: to fail, namely, their computers start crashing, and their IT
25:48
Speaker 1: department comes up and they're like, we don't know why
25:50
Speaker 1: this is happening, but sorry, we can't recover it. And
25:53
Speaker 1: the light bulbs kept going out, to the point where
25:55
Speaker 1: they went out and got this huge pack of extra
25:57
Speaker 1: light bulbs to replace the light bulb as they went out,
26:01
Speaker 1: something they never had to do before. But all of
26:03
Speaker 1: a sudden, the divoc box is in the room and
26:05
Speaker 1: the light bulbs are going out left and right. And
26:07
Speaker 1: then finally Jason's co workers that share that space with
26:10
Speaker 1: the dipict box, they all got sick and they blamed
26:13
Speaker 1: the divot box. They said, you know what, we were
26:15
Speaker 1: fine until that thing came in here. Now all of
26:17
Speaker 1: a sudden, our computers don't work, the lights don't work,
26:19
Speaker 1: and we're getting sick. Get rid of it, Jason. So
26:21
Speaker 1: that day after work, Jason goes and takes the dipict box,
26:24
Speaker 1: puts it in the back of his truck, and his
26:26
Speaker 1: truck had a cover on the back, so he secures
26:29
Speaker 1: it in the back. He drives home, and he doesn't
26:31
Speaker 1: want to bring it inside because it just seemed weird
26:33
Speaker 1: to bring a cursed object inside that his coworkers just
26:36
Speaker 1: made him get out of their space because it was
26:38
Speaker 1: making them sick and it was ruining their things. So
26:40
Speaker 1: he thinks, Okay, I'll leave it in my truck overnight
26:43
Speaker 1: and I'll figure out what I'm going to do with
26:44
Speaker 1: it tomorrow. He goes inside. He says, side to his family,
26:47
Speaker 1: and before long it's time for bed and Jason goes
26:49
Speaker 1: to sleep. In order to understand what happened to Jason,
26:52
Speaker 1: you need to understand the layout of his house. When
26:54
Speaker 1: you open the front door, you walk inside, and there's
26:57
Speaker 1: a wall on your right hand side that's the side
26:59
Speaker 1: of the house, and you walk forward about five or
27:01
Speaker 1: six feet, and on your left is the staircase that
27:04
Speaker 1: goes up to the second floor. If you walk up
27:06
Speaker 1: that staircase, straight ahead of you is going to be
27:09
Speaker 1: a bathroom. If you go left and walk down the
27:11
Speaker 1: hall another five or six feet, you come to the
27:13
Speaker 1: mast or suite where Jason and his wife would sleep.
27:16
Speaker 1: If you walk through that door, there is a wall
27:18
Speaker 1: on your left where there's a big bay window that
27:20
Speaker 1: looks out onto the street, and there's a big street
27:22
Speaker 1: light that sits right outside that projects very orange yellow
27:26
Speaker 1: light into their room at night, even though they have
27:28
Speaker 1: a shade up, it's this orange glow that comes through
27:30
Speaker 1: this window right here on this side, and then on
27:32
Speaker 1: the other side of the room is the bed, and
27:34
Speaker 1: the bed is situated where the feet are pointed towards
27:37
Speaker 1: this window over here, and the head of the bed
27:40
Speaker 1: is against this wall, and it's centered on this wall
27:43
Speaker 1: here and Jason, if you're looking overhead at the top
27:46
Speaker 1: of this bed, Jason's on the left side, so he's
27:48
Speaker 1: the farthest into his room and his wife is the
27:50
Speaker 1: closest into the room. So that night, Jason goes to
27:53
Speaker 1: bed and he falls asleep, but just a couple hours later,
27:56
Speaker 1: he wakes up suddenly and he can't move his body.
27:58
Speaker 1: He can only move his eyes. He's laying on his
28:00
Speaker 1: back and the light from the street light is very strong.
28:03
Speaker 1: It's this orange glow in their whole room. And he's
28:05
Speaker 1: laying there trying to move his hands and his legs,
28:08
Speaker 1: but he can't do it. And as he's doing that,
28:10
Speaker 1: he starts hearing footsteps out on the stairs, and they
28:13
Speaker 1: are distinctive sounds, slow plodding steps all the way up
28:17
Speaker 1: to the second floor. And Jason's laying here with his
28:20
Speaker 1: eyes looking towards the door because his door is open
28:22
Speaker 1: and he can barely see into the second floor landing,
28:25
Speaker 1: and he's waiting to see who came up the stairs,
28:28
Speaker 1: and his heart's racing and he's looking and out of
28:30
Speaker 1: the corner of his eye he sees what looks like
28:32
Speaker 1: a dark figure begin to walk into the room, and
28:35
Speaker 1: his heart starts racing him faster when he can tell
28:37
Speaker 1: it's definitely not someone he knows. It's this woman, this
28:40
Speaker 1: older woman with a shawl over her head, and her
28:42
Speaker 1: head is tucked down so he can't see her. And
28:44
Speaker 1: this is all out of the corner of his eye,
28:46
Speaker 1: and because of the orange hue coming in from the window,
28:49
Speaker 1: he can definitely tell that there is a real solid
28:52
Speaker 1: figure right there. This is not in his imagination. It's
28:55
Speaker 1: right there. And this woman begins shuffling her way across
28:58
Speaker 1: the foot of the bed, and right at the at
29:00
Speaker 1: the bed, as Jason's looking at her, she turns and
29:02
Speaker 1: looks directly at him, and then she runs around the
29:05
Speaker 1: corner and she looks down at him and she takes
29:07
Speaker 1: her fingers and she drives them into his eyes, and
29:10
Speaker 1: Jason thinks it's real, and he's screaming in pain. And
29:12
Speaker 1: he wakes up and his wife is grabbing him and
29:15
Speaker 1: she's like, Jason, Jason, what's wrong. And he says, what's
29:17
Speaker 1: going on and she says, honey, it's just a bad dream.
29:20
Speaker 1: You're fine. And he's shaking up. You know, his heart's
29:22
Speaker 1: still racing from his dream he's just had, and he's
29:24
Speaker 1: trying to think, like that felt really real, and he's
29:27
Speaker 1: like feel in his eyes and he can't believe that
29:29
Speaker 1: that was a dream. That was the most vivid dream
29:31
Speaker 1: he's ever had in his life. And so eventually he
29:33
Speaker 1: goes back to sleep, and then the next morning when
29:35
Speaker 1: he gets up, he goes in the bathroom and he
29:37
Speaker 1: looks at his eyes and they're all red around the outside,
29:40
Speaker 1: and the whites of his eyes are covered in blood.
29:42
Speaker 1: His eyes look horrible, like he's having this terrible allergic
29:46
Speaker 1: reaction to something, or it looks like someone might have
29:48
Speaker 1: punched him in the eyes or maybe gouged his eyes.
29:51
Speaker 1: That's how it looks. And his wife comes in and
29:52
Speaker 1: she's like, what happened to you? And he's like, oh
29:55
Speaker 1: my god, I have no idea. It was around this
29:57
Speaker 1: time that Jason began to think the Divot Box might
29:59
Speaker 1: just be cursed, because the two previous owners have said
30:03
Speaker 1: in their disclosures on eBay that horrible, vivid dreams just
30:08
Speaker 1: like the one he had to include physical manifestations are
30:13
Speaker 1: part of having this dipic box. Jason considered just dumping
30:16
Speaker 1: this thing in a dumpster, somewhere, But then he was
30:18
Speaker 1: concerned that he might be passing on this DIPOC box
30:21
Speaker 1: to someone who wasn't ready for it, and so he
30:24
Speaker 1: decided he would give it another day and he would
30:26
Speaker 1: do some research about how to properly dispose of a
30:28
Speaker 1: DIPOC box. And so that night, when Jason came back
30:31
Speaker 1: from work, he left the DIPIC box in his truck,
30:33
Speaker 1: covered up in his driveway, and so Jason goes inside.
30:36
Speaker 1: He has dinner with his family, and then he's sitting
30:38
Speaker 1: down in the TV room and he's watching TV with
30:41
Speaker 1: his son. And as they're watching TV quietly, Jason hears
30:43
Speaker 1: his son say, hey, Dad, who is that? And he
30:46
Speaker 1: looks over his son and his son is pointing behind him,
30:48
Speaker 1: and Jason turns around and standing right behind him is
30:51
Speaker 1: the same woman who had come in his room with
30:54
Speaker 1: a shawl on that gouged his eyes out in his dream.
30:57
Speaker 1: And then she suddenly disappears, and Jason's looking at his
31:00
Speaker 1: like you just saw that too, and he's like, yeah,
31:02
Speaker 1: who was that? And so Jason grabs his son. He
31:04
Speaker 1: yells for his wife and says, we have to leave
31:06
Speaker 1: the house right now. His wife comes downstairs and She's like,
31:09
Speaker 1: what's going on, and he was like, I will explain
31:11
Speaker 1: in the car, and we have to take your car.
31:13
Speaker 1: And so his wife sees how serious Jason is and
31:15
Speaker 1: she says okay, and they get into her car and
31:18
Speaker 1: they drive down the road and that's when Jason explains
31:20
Speaker 1: what's going on with the dipic box and how he
31:23
Speaker 1: and his son just saw the same woman that he
31:25
Speaker 1: had seen in his dream the night before that Gouage's
31:28
Speaker 1: eyes and his eyes were red, and his wife's starting
31:31
Speaker 1: to get really scared, and his son's really scared of
31:33
Speaker 1: what's going on. And so the solution they came up
31:35
Speaker 1: with was they were going to drive back to their house,
31:37
Speaker 1: drop Jason off, who was going to get in his
31:39
Speaker 1: truck where the dipic box is still in the back
31:41
Speaker 1: and still locked in the back of the truck, and
31:43
Speaker 1: he's going to drive it a few miles outside of
31:45
Speaker 1: town to a rental property they owned that no one
31:47
Speaker 1: was staying in, and he was going to put it
31:49
Speaker 1: in the basement and it was going to stay there
31:51
Speaker 1: until they figured out how to dispose of it, because
31:53
Speaker 1: they didn't like the idea of just dumping it somewhere
31:55
Speaker 1: because they felt like, if this is real and it's
31:58
Speaker 1: actually this cursed box, then somebody else is going to
32:02
Speaker 1: be cursed by this dipic box unless we find a
32:05
Speaker 1: way or at least attempt to find a way to
32:08
Speaker 1: contain it and destroy it. And so Jason gets dropped off.
32:10
Speaker 1: He gets in his truck, he drives to the rental property,
32:13
Speaker 1: He puts it in the basement, he steals it up,
32:15
Speaker 1: and he goes back to his house. Once Jason got
32:17
Speaker 1: back to his house, his wife and his son came
32:19
Speaker 1: back as well, and that night Jason would go on
32:21
Speaker 1: eBay and he would find the contact information for Kevin,
32:24
Speaker 1: the original owner of the dipoc box after the estate sale,
32:28
Speaker 1: and he called him that night and Kevin actually picked
32:30
Speaker 1: up and the two of them spoke, and Kevin ultimately
32:32
Speaker 1: agrees to help Jason find a way to properly dispose
32:36
Speaker 1: of this depict box. And what Kevin offers to do
32:39
Speaker 1: is drive back to the house where he had originally
32:42
Speaker 1: purchased this dipic box and see if he can get
32:44
Speaker 1: some more information about what it is and what they
32:47
Speaker 1: do with it. The next day, Kevin the antique shop owner,
32:50
Speaker 1: he goes back to the house where he originally bought
32:52
Speaker 1: the dipoct box. At the estate sale, he knocks on
32:54
Speaker 1: the door and an old woman comes to the door,
32:56
Speaker 1: and Kevin introduces himself and he says, hey, you know,
32:59
Speaker 1: I was here not too long ago, and I purchased
33:01
Speaker 1: Lot twenty nine that included that DEBIIC box and I
33:05
Speaker 1: wanted to know some more information about it. And the
33:07
Speaker 1: woman reacted and she's like, you know, I told my
33:09
Speaker 1: family not to sell that. I know what was inside
33:12
Speaker 1: of it, and I know you're not supposed to open it.
33:14
Speaker 1: And I tried to tell my family and they didn't listen.
33:17
Speaker 1: I really hope you didn't open it. And Kevin's like, actually, yeah,
33:21
Speaker 1: I did open it. And he described all the horrible
33:23
Speaker 1: things that happened, and he described selling it and all
33:25
Speaker 1: the subsequent owners, how they've had all these issues, and
33:28
Speaker 1: how they've arrived at this place now where Jason in
33:31
Speaker 1: Missouri is having all these issues and they're trying to
33:33
Speaker 1: find a way to dispose of it. And that's when
33:35
Speaker 1: Sophie describes what's actually inside of this box. Sophie said
33:39
Speaker 1: she lived in Poland before World War Two with her
33:41
Speaker 1: cousin Habla, who was the woman who had passed away
33:44
Speaker 1: and all her things were being sold at the estate sale.
33:47
Speaker 1: And she said that at the time it was all
33:49
Speaker 1: the rage to have seances and try to talk to
33:52
Speaker 1: dead people and spirits, and they would just do it
33:55
Speaker 1: for fun. Sophie, Habla and their mother, they would they
33:58
Speaker 1: would do this for fun. And Habila had made this
34:00
Speaker 1: ouiji board where she had stitched letters onto this blanket,
34:04
Speaker 1: and they put it over this table and they would
34:06
Speaker 1: all hold this pendant that was suspended by a chain,
34:09
Speaker 1: and they would ask questions and they would hope that
34:12
Speaker 1: a spirit that they were interacting with would interact with
34:15
Speaker 1: this chain and it would swivel around the pendant and
34:18
Speaker 1: it would point to the different letters whenever they asked
34:21
Speaker 1: a question, and it would spell out, you know, whatever
34:23
Speaker 1: their answer was. And Sophie said, nothing ever happened. It
34:27
Speaker 1: was just kind of a fun thing for them to do.
34:30
Speaker 1: But one time it did work, and they said the
34:32
Speaker 1: chain would go rigid and it would point over and
34:34
Speaker 1: over and it would spell the words release me, release me,
34:38
Speaker 1: release me. Sophie said. The women were incredulous and didn't
34:41
Speaker 1: believe it at first, but then they started to worry
34:44
Speaker 1: that if they didn't help this thing that if it
34:46
Speaker 1: were a dibock and were a malevolent spirit, they would
34:49
Speaker 1: find a way to attach itself to one of them.
34:52
Speaker 1: And so Sophie said, they devised this ritual where they
34:55
Speaker 1: released it but into this wine box that they were
34:57
Speaker 1: able to shut and luck and that wine box became
35:00
Speaker 1: the Dipic box, and that Dipic box is the same
35:03
Speaker 1: one that was sold to Kevin told Sophie that what
35:06
Speaker 1: do we do? We've already opened it up, and she said,
35:08
Speaker 1: you need to contact a rabbi, and so they would
35:11
Speaker 1: call a rabbi, and apparently they were able to reclaim
35:13
Speaker 1: the Dipic inside of the box and lock it and
35:16
Speaker 1: put it away in a secret location where it's been
35:19
Speaker 1: since two thousand and three. And apparently since it's been
35:22
Speaker 1: sealed off, Jason and Kevin have said they've experienced no
35:25
Speaker 1: demonic activity and they never planned to tell anybody where
35:29
Speaker 1: this thing is because they don't want anyone else to
35:32
Speaker 1: have even the opportunity to reopen the Dipic Box and
35:35
Speaker 1: have to deal with all the horrible things that they
35:37
Speaker 1: went through. So that's going to do it. Guys. I
