The chilling truth about the most haunted item in the WORLD that 'cursed' Post Malone

Daily Mail​20-05-2025

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.

Ryan Lochte breaks silence on divorce from Playboy wife Kayla with emotional message

US Olympic icon Ryan Lochte has spoken out on Instagram over the influx of support he has received after it emerged he is getting divorced from his wife, Kayla Reid. The couple announced the news on Wednesday and speaking on social media, the 12-time Olympic medalist said it was 'rough' going public with the split. 'I just want to say thank you to everyone that wrote a message, reached out to me — just open arms,' he said in an Instagram video. 'It means a lot to me. Yesterday was a rough day for me, but, like always in life, you've got to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward, so, that's what I'm doing.' The 40-year-old Lochte said he had been sent gifts by his 'second family', such as candy and a card. 'Thank you guys, I love you guys,' he added. The couple have three kids together. Kayla announced the split on June 4, saying: 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life. 'I've been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing - not from fresh, open wounds.' 'Sometimes we face trials we didn't choose or see coming. And in those moments, we're forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children, and our future. 'I've come to the understanding that staying isn't always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love - for those around me and for myself.' The couple shares son Caiden, 7, daughter Liv, 5 and nearly two-year-old daughter Georgia. According to court records cited by People, Kayla filed for divorce on March 26. Lochte shared a statement himself, saying: 'I want to take a moment to acknowledge what Kayla shared. This past year has brought major changes for both of us as we've come to the difficult decision to end our marriage. 'I'm deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children. 'Although this decision hasn't been easy, I believe it's the right step toward peace and well-being for us both. I remain committed to healing, growth, and co-parenting with care and respect as we move forward separately.' The couple met in 2016 before getting engaged that same year in the fall. Lochte was also thrust into controversy during the 2016 Rio Games, after he claimed that he and three teammates were robbed at gunpoint after a night out. It was later revealed that the armed men were actually security guards and several details of Lochte's story proved to be fabricated. He was ultimately charged with submitting a false report to police, but charges were later dismissed after he apologized.

Rita Ora commands attention in leopard print bra and micro shorts as she performs at World Pride Music Festival in Washington DC

Rita Ora stripped down to a matching leopard print lingerie set and micro shorts during a performance at World Pride Music Festival in Washington DC on Friday. The songstress, 34, looked unbelievable in the skimpy outfit as she took to the stage for the two-day event. She pulled out all the stops for the big performance, turning heads in her figure-hugging ensemble. Rita paired her eccentric outfit with glittery eyeshadow and sunglasses to complete the look. She sang and danced to the crowd, who were also there to see Jennifer Lopez and Troye Sivan, to name a few. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The pride festival is held at Festival Grounds At RFK Campus in Washington D.C. Rita recently boasted about her latest song Heat, which was released on Friday. In the single, she sings: 'Your heat on me. Sex on sight. Anywhere you like. Inside or outside.' Heat is expected to feature on her upcoming, still untitled, fourth album, which will be her first album release since her 2023 You & I. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from 'Tension', 'Padam Padam', was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie. But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song. It comes after she kicked off her support gig on the tour in April at Atlanta's State Farm Arena. Rita gushed after her gig: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America. It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.' Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK. But she has only now begun to make a name for herself in the US following the success of her viral 2023 hit Padam Padam. In the past Kylie has claimed her failure to catch on stateside didn't phase her and she enjoyed her anonymity there, however, her record label revealed in 2023 that the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the US market.

The unusual fluttery feeling throughout my body was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. My head felt swirly, and I had to fight to keep from tilting to the right. But I was too fascinated to be frightened as Mavis Pittilla, the grande dame of British mediums, told me that she could see two spirits, a man and a woman, standing beside me.
