Sorry to post off topic, but about it being illegal to sell haunted houses/items without warning the buyer, doesn't that just prove that the government acknowledges hauntings/demons/ghosts, as being real?

I believe that's a state by state law. Some states I think do require you to indicate whether a house is haunted.

That's pretty funny to be selling haunted houses to begin with, right? And yeah - somewhere in that long story of it all, the guy selling the thing on eBay mentioned someting about coming home one day a few days after he got it and - ka-poosh! - all ten of some fish he owned all died.

It's somewhere in there. God only knows where; the darn things so huge even I lost what paragraph it was on, *lol*

... heh, like I'm gonna buy a house and want to sell it soon, and describe it like this:

"Uhm, yeah. This is a house. It's cool and all, and it's haunted... *long annoying dimwitted teenager pause* .. and stuff. It's the house from the movie Poltergeist!"

Atleast I was partilly right on that part. But I belieev that Egon13 and Shadow was was right on their behalf. I do think that it is a state law come to think of it, but not sure when this act had came about . Maybe California, perhaps...maybe? I'll have to look on that one.

Here's the story in case it gets taken away from EBay:

If you have any understanding of the occult or things of a paranormal nature, please at least read this!


Dibbuk Box / Antique Wine Cabinet
All of the events that I am about to set forth in this listing are accurate and may be verified by the winning bidder with the copies of hospital records and sworn affidavits that I am including as part of the sale of the cabinet. The winning bidder will also be able to contact most of the persons mentioned herein for the purposes of verification, corroboration, and to gain insight into the full scope of… whatever it is.
During September of 2001, I attended an estate sale in Portland Oregon. The items liquidated at this sale were from the estate of a woman who had passed away at the age of 103. A grand-daughter of the woman told me that her grandmother had been born in Poland where she grew up, married, raised a family, and lived until she was sent to a nazi concentration camp during World War II. She was the only member of her family who survived the camp. Her parents, brothers, a sister, husband, and two sons and a daughter were all killed. She survived the camp by escaping with some other prisoners and somehow making her way to Spain where she lived until the end of the war. I was told that she acquired the small wine cabinet listed here in Spain and it was one of only three items that she brought with her when she immigrated to the United States. The other two items were a steamer trunk, and a sewing box.

I purchased the wine cabinet, along with the sewing box and some other furniture at the estate sale. After the sale, I was approached by the woman’s granddaughter who said, “I see you got the dibbuk box.” She was referring to the wine cabinet. I asked her what a dibbuk box was, and she told me that when she was growing up, her grandmother always kept the wine cabinet in her sewing room. It was always locked, and set in a place that was out of reach. The grandmother always called it the dibbuk box. When the girl asked her grandmother what was inside, her grandmother spit three times through her fingers said, “A dibbuk, and keselim.” The grandmother went on to tell the girl that the wine cabinet was never, ever, to be opened. The granddaughter told me that her grandmother had asked that the box be buried with her. However, as such a request was contrary to the rules of an orthodox Jewish burial, the grandmother’s request had not been honored. I asked the granddaughter what a dibbuk, and keselim were, but she did not know. I asked if she had the key and if she would like to open it with me. She said that the family had never been able to find a key among her grandmother’s belongings. She did not want to open it, as her grandmother had been very emphatic and serious when she instructed her not to do so, and, regardless of the reason, she wanted to honor her grandmother’s request.

I finally ended up offering to let her keep what seemed to me to be a sentimental keepsake. At that point, she was very insistent and said, “No, no you bought it!”

I explained that I didn’t want my money back, and that it would make me feel better to do what I thought was an act of kindness. She then became somewhat upset. Looking back now, the way she became upset was just plain odd. She raised her voice to me and said, “You bought it! You made a deal!”

When I tried to speak, she yelled, “We don’t want it!”

She began to cry, asked me to leave, and quickly walked away. I wrote the whole episode off to the stress and grief she must have been experiencing. I took my purchases and politely left.

At the time when I bought the cabinet, I owned a small furniture refinishing business. I took the cabinet to my store, and put it in my basement workshop where I intended to refinish it and give it as a gift to my Mother. I didn’t think anything more about it. I opened my shop for the day and went to run some errands leaving the young woman who did sales for me in charge. After about a half-hour, I got a call on my cell phone. The call was from my salesperson. She was absolutely hysterical and screaming that someone was in my workshop breaking glass and swearing. Furthermore, the intruder had locked the iron security gates and the emergency exit and she couldn’t get out. As I told her to call the police, my cell phone battery went dead.

I hit speeds of 100 mph getting back to the shop. When I arrived, I found the gates locked. I went inside and found my employee on the floor in a corner of my office sobbing hysterically. I ran to the basement and went downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs, I was hit by an overpowering unmistakable odor of cat urine (there had never been any animals kept or found in my shop). The lights didn’t work. As I investigated, I found that the reason the lights didn’t work also explained the sounds of glass breaking. All of the light bulbs in the basement were broken. All nine incandescent bulbs had been broken in their sockets, and 10 four-foot fluorescent tubes were lying shattered on the floor. I did not find an intruder, however. I should also add that there was only one entrance to the basement. It would have been impossible for anyone to leave without meeting me head-on. I went back up to speak with my salesperson, but she had left. She never returned to work (after having been with me for two years). She refuses to discuss the incident to this day. I never thought of relating the events of that day to anything having to do with the cabinet.

Then, things got worse.

As I already indicated, I had decided to give the cabinet to my Mother as a birthday gift. About two weeks after I made the purchase, I decided to get started refinishing it. I cut off the little padlock and opened it. I was surprised to find that the cabinet has a unique little mechanism. When you open one of the doors, the mechanism causes the opposite door, and the little drawer below, to open at the same time. It is very well made. Inside the cabinet, I found the following items:


1 1928 U.S. Wheat Penny;
1 1925 U.S. Wheat Penny;
One small lock of blonde hair (bound with string);
One small lock of black/brown hair (bound with string);
One small granite statue engraved and gilded with Hebrew letters (I have been told that the letters spell out the word SHALOM);
One dried rosebud;
One very strange black cast iron candlestick holder with octopus legs.
I saved all of the items in a box intending to return them to the estate. The family has refused the items, so they will be included in this sale of the cabinet.

After opening the cabinet, I decided not to refinish it. I cleaned it, and rubbed in some lemon oil. It was at this time that I noticed that there was an inscription in Hebrew carved into the back of the cabinet. I have no idea what it says or if it is significant. I have included a picture of that inscription below. On my mother’s birthday, October 28, 2001, my mother called to tell me that she was going out of town with my sister for three days, and we postponed celebrating her birthday together until she returned. On October 31, 2001, my mother came to my shop. We were going to have lunch together, but before we were going to leave, I gave her the wine cabinet. She seemed to like it. While she examined it, I went to make a phone call. I hadn’t been out of sight more than 5 minutes when one of my employees came running into my office saying that something was wrong with my mom. When I went back to see what the matter was, I found my mom sitting in a chair beside the cabinet. Her face had no expression, but tears were streaming down her cheeks. No matter how I tried to get her to respond, she would not. She could not. It turns out that my mother had suffered a stroke. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She ended up suffering partial paralysis, and losing her ability to speak and form words (she has since regained the ability to speak). She could understand things being said to her, and could respond by pointing to letters of the alphabet to spell out words she wanted to say. When I asked her the following day how she was doing, she teared up and spelled out the words: N-O G-I-F-T. I assured her that I had given her a gift for her birthday, thinking that she didn’t remember, but she became even more upset and spelled out the words: H-A-T-E G-I-F-T. I laughed and told her not to worry. I told her I was sorry she didn’t like the cabinet, and that I would get her anything she wanted if she would promise to get well soon.

Still, I didn’t associate anything that had happened with the cabinet itself or anything paranormal. Frankly, I don’t think I ever even used the term “paranormal” until this last month.

I’ll try to make this short now. I gave the cabinet to my sister. She kept it for a week, then gave it back. She complained that she couldn’t get the doors to stay closed and that they kept coming open. There are no springs in the door mechanism and I have never found that the doors come open. I gave it to my brother and his wife who kept it for three days and then gave it back. My brother said it smelled like Jasmine flowers, while his wife insisted that it put out an odor of cat urine. I gave it to my girlfriend who asked me to sell it for her after only two days. I sold it the same day to a nice middle aged couple. Three days later, when I came to open the shop for the day, I found the cabinet sitting at the front doors with a note that read, “This has a bad darkness.” I had no idea what that meant. Anyway, I ended up taking it home.

Then, things got even worse.

Since the day I brought it home, I began having a strange recurring nightmare. Every time I have the horrible dream it goes something like this: I find myself walking with a friend – usually someone I know well and trust – at some point in the dream, I find myself looking into the eyes of the person that I am with. It is then that I realize that there is something different, something evil looking back at me. At that point in my dream, the person I am with changes into what can only be described as the most gruesome, demonic looking Hag that I have ever seen. This Hag proceeds then, to beat the living tar out of me. I have awakened numerous times to find bruises and marks on myself where I had been hit by the old woman during the previous night. Still, I never related the nightmares to the cabinet, nor do I think that I ever would have.

About a month ago, however, my sister, and my brother and his wife came over to my house and spent the night. The following morning, during breakfast, my sister complained that she had had a horrible nightmare. She said that she recalled having had it a couple of times before, and went on to describe my nightmare exactly to the last detail. My brother and his wife froze as they listened, and then chimed in that they had both had had the exact same dreams during the night as well. The hair was standing up on the back of my neck and still is. As we talked, it became clear that the common denominator was that each of us had had the nightmare during the times that the cabinet was in our respective homes. I called my girlfriend and asked if she could recall having any nightmares recently. She described the same nightmare, same Hag, everything. When I asked her if she remembered the date when she had the nightmare, she said she did not. Then I asked if it happened to be the night before she gave me the cabinet back to sell for her. She said, “Yeah! Hey, how did you know that?!!!”

Now then, since my family discussion, it seems like all hell is breaking loose. For a week afterward I started seeing what I can only describe as shadow things in my peripheral vision. In fact, numerous visitors to my house have claimed that they have seen these shadow things. I put the cabinet in an outside storage unit and was awakened when the smoke alarm in the unit went off in the middle of the night. When I went to see what was burning, I opened the door and didn’t see any smoke. However, I did get hit with the smell of cat urine. When I went back inside, the smell was there in my house. I DO NOT OWN A CAT AND I NEVER HAVE. I went back outside and grabbed the cabinet. I brought it back inside and tried to research it on the Internet. While I was surfing the net, I fell asleep and once again had the same freakin’ nightmare. I woke up at around 4:30am (when it felt and smelled like someone was breathing on my neck) to find that my house now smelled like Jasmine flowers, and just in time to see a HUGE shadow thing go loping down the hall away from me.

I would destroy this thing in a second, except I really don’t have any understanding of what I may or may not be dealing with. I am afraid (and I do mean afraid) that if I destroy the cabinet, whatever it is that seems to have come with the cabinet may just stay here with me. I have been told that there are people who shop on EBAY that understand these kinds of things and specifically look for these kinds of items. If you are one of these people, please, please buy this cabinet and do whatever you do with a thing like this. Help me.

You can see that I have no reserve price or minimum bid. If I can make things any easier let me know and I will do everything within my abilities.

One more note. On the same day my Mom had her stroke, the lease to my store was summarily terminated without cause.

The measurements are 12.5" x 7.5" x 16.25"

ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT I ORIGINALLY FOUND INSIDE THE CABINET ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE AND WILL BE DELIVERED WITH THE CABINET.

On Jun-12-03 at 02:15:30 PDT, seller added the following information:

There is no way that I can respond to all of the e-mails I've received since I put this thing on-line. I'll try now to update and answer the most common questions I've been receiving.

1. No, I am not religious.

2. No, I do not wish to have or participate in any sort of exorcism, or case study, or photo sessions at my home.

3. No, I will not sell any of the individual pieces which were originally found seperate from the other pieces and the cabinet.

4. No, I do not speak Hebrew nor do I know what the word "keselim" means. I don't know that the word is even a Hebrew word.

5. At the end of the auction, I have decided to take an opportunity to speak with the winning bidder for two reasons: a.)To make sure that the winning bidder is a serious adult who has employed some valid reasoning skills in making the decision to accept whatever this is. I will not be judgemental. Do whatever you want or need after the sale. b.)To offer full details of the events that have transpired. After I have carried out those responsibilities, and upon payment, I will have the cabinet and its contents delivered by U.S.MAIL, FED-EX, or UPS to the winning bidder. At that point, I will have no further involvement with the matter in any way, shape, or form. Period.

6.) To all of you who have offered to pray, I may not be religious, but I am certainly open to the possibilities --no matter what your religion might be. THANK YOU!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Jun-14-03 at 05:21shocked6 PDT, seller added the following information:

Here is another update for everyone following this listing.
NO! No, I will not circumvent, or make any deals outside of EBAY - EVEN FOR MORE MONEY THAN THE FINAL AUCTION PRICE!!! If you want to win the auction and have the kind of money some of you are offering, there shouldn't be any reason why you cannot simply place your bid in an open honest fashion. I'm sure you can understand why I might be suspicious.

ALSO....

For those of you wanting to know if I am still experiencing anything out of the ordinary, I thought everything was going OK until I got home on Friday - the 13th of June - and found that the fish in my fresh water aquarium - all 10 - were dead.

I'm still hoping that all of this is coincidental crap.

He knows the guy and says it's a fake, but he also mentioned "6 days and blah blah hours til someone dies buying that box." It doesn't add up to me.

The illegitimacy shocked of some of the folks who post in these threads irritate me beyond belief! When they start making movie quotes or making up 'theories' and not offer any explanations about their theories, it just makes the whole thing seem infantile, and one would hope that, even though we're all Ghostbusters fans, we could still talk seriously about the paranormal--with a few jokes of course, no need to be a stiff-neck about it. angry Still, childish posts ruin the fun of realistically discussing the paranormal--as strange as that sentence sounds.

HAUNTED DOLL & PHOTO DISCOVERED IN 1901 FUNERAL HOME BASEMENT
This Auction Is For A Haunted Item Found In A Funeral Home Basement

This auction is for serious bidders only, please. As many of you already know we have been unearthing a bunch of antiques and possibly haunted items when remodeling the basement of a funeral home we purchased. Yesterday we found another box marked "personal belongings". Disturbing as it was inside this little box was a photo of 2 female children, peddles of rotted flower, and a small doll. As soon as we opened it we received cold chills and it felt like someone opened a freezer in the room. After we calmed down and the hairs stop standing on our necks and arms we opened it again. We strongly believe this has something to do with some of the spirits and black figures roaming the funeral home. We would like for someone to take this childs belongings from us. If you're serious about helping which ever one of these girls didn't get their doll buried with her then this auction is for you. Any help solving these strange items and help removing them from the building is very much appericated.

Information About The Items We Are Finding

In 2000 I purchased some property in downtown Kokomo, Indiana. One of the lots was the only black owned funeral home in centeral Indiana durning the early 1900's called, Jacob's Funeral Home. We spent the next year or so remodeling the 2nd level which we now rent out as a downtown apartment. The second level was remodeled for office space used by law offices and insurance compaines. The total square feet is about 14,000. This year in 2003 we started remodeling the 4,000 square foot basement. After a few months of knocking down walls and moving old doors and windows left down there we came into problems with piles and piles of old rotted boxes in one of the old store rooms in the basement that had been blocked off by the debris. Since then my wife has been going through the boxes and all the items inside them, cleaning up anything she can salvage. A lot of the boxes contain stacks upon stacks of old funeral home records and documents that are rotted and you can hardly read them but, several of the first boxes she has went through have items like artwork, old yellow stained photos, picture frames, jewerly, melted candles, antique candle holders, old gas lighting equipment, and even an old wash basin which was used durning the imbalming process. One of the boxes marked "misc belongings" was kinda creepy and distrubing none the less. We kept putting it to the side. We finally opened it up and dug through it. We're not sure if this was actual dead peoples belongings that was not properly placed on the corpses or in their coffins with them. It has a few old bibles which are in bad shape, some jewelry like a gold wedding ring, and a creepy little rotted stuffed animal. Kinda sad, but creepy as hell. Anyhow, after we are finished with the basement and demolish the coal chamber we hope to start remodeling the 3rd level which is an estimated 3,000 sqaure foot attic that has tons of broken funiture, new looking boxes, dusty old frames, a few chairs, and other misc junk in it. I looked through it a little with a flash light several times. I found a 1940's Coke can in a box of old newspapers dated 1932 - 1954. I like the can because I'm a big Coke fanatic so like a few other of the items I'm keep it. Besides it's made out of all steel, how cool is that? I don't know what else is up there but, it will take us a lot of time to sort through. Looks like it is more mid 1900's and up items from the newspapers. The problem with the attic and why we keep delaying is not just because we are doing one level at a time. We orginially wanted to remodel from the top down but, we skipped the 3rd level because the walls up there contain old gas lines which durning the early and mid 1900's was used for lighting. It's going to slow us down and cost a lot to have them removed. Plus we don't want to stir up all the old lead paint all over the 3rd level until we have to. Lead paint can be really nasty stuff to work with and clean up. Slowly but, surely we will have everything sorted and we'll be adding all these antiques and odd items to our eBay auctions.

The Haunting Story Behind The Building

You're probably wondering when am I going to get to the "haunting" part of all this. So here is the story acording to my accounts and local legand. I'd have to say the strangest thing about this building is not the fact it was a funeral home since 1901 but, the local Kokomo legand that surrounds it which claims it as being extremely haunted. Personally it can sometimes be a real mess with all the people that drive by and park out front durning the Halloween holiday but, it's not too bad. Though I must admit I've had to call the police on some kids that actually tried climbing the roof! According to local legand the funeral home has a history of racial tension and abuse. Being the only black funeral home in Kokomo and the only one owned by a black funeral director didn't help things durning those times I assume. The court house is just down the block and they used to hang criminals or "the accused" in the court house lawn and take them straight to this funeral home. Something I've always wondered is why are there slave doors in the back of the building if it was black owned? The history is so mixed and strange about this building. It's impossible to find anything useful in our historical documents at the recorders office and the library. But, it's very haunted and has a violent history according to Kokomo legand and folk lore. Our community newspaper called Kokomo Tribune did an article in 2002 that speaks about this haunted funeral home. The reporter that covered this article was the Indiana award winning Feature Editor - Tom Carey he can be reached at: tom.carey@kokomotribune.com

More than likely once we get rid of all the orginial funeral home items, the peoples personal belongings we found, and finish remodeling the buidling we'll rid ourselves of the hauntings and the haunted stigma the building has here in town. Over time we have plans to remodel it enough so people probably won't see it as a funeral home anymore from the outside. I must admit I've actually seen black shadowy figures on several occasions since I bought this building but, I don't really believe in ghosts or spirits coming back from the dead. I feel there has to be a perfectly logical reason for them. One strange thing that makes me wonder though was Mothers Day of 2001 when we had gave our mother a nice paiting of Jesus we had found on the first level in one of the rooms. I loved it and our mother is very relegious like our children are and figured it would be a nice gift. The scary part was she claims to have been pushed into her shower the morning after Mothers Day after she received the gift we found in the funeral home. She said that her hot water heater was on, but wasn't working and the shower was cold as ice when she fell inside it. She went to the hospital for a cut on her head and told to them she tripped but, she told us to take the painting back because she believe it may have "evil demons" in it. We rolled our eyes and insisted she slipped and blamed it on a present she didn't like. It made me wonder though. This didn't sound like something she would do expecially since she collects all sorts of Jesus stuff. I'm pretty baffled over the whole deal and I'm starting to believe. So as time went on we kept seeing strange black shadows. Even the children had said something about a "black fog" in different rooms at night. Then when the people remodeling came to me and said something about a high pitch drilling noise from the basement one afternoon I told myself and my wife I'd humor everyone and speak with a local psychic. I did so the same afternoon of the drilling. The psychic was a nice little lady but, I was frustrated that all she kept saying and insisting to me was that I shouldn't remodel and stir up the spirits in the building and I'm causing nothing but problems some people in the community would choose to forget. It was a creepy thing to say I thought and it really wasn't what I wanted to hear from her. She didn't help and what she told me, I didn't feel was what I was calling her about but, either way she refused to come over and answer questions about black figures in this building for me and she kept on and on about stopping what I was doing to the building. Before the phone call ended I remember very well the last thing she said, "You sir are playing with fire". Whatever that means but, it stuck with me. So after a few days I called a local Christian preacher who prayed for me and claimed I was involved in a demonic process and should come to church Sunday morning before it's to late. He did finally come over to the building and did some water sprinkles of whatever it's called around the place but, when he left everything started freaking out. Lights would turn off and on and we started getting light headed sometimes when we walked through areas of the building. So now every since that day my wife won't stay in a room alone when we are here. We still really don't have any clear answers on the building, the items inside, or it's terrible history but, after we finish remodeling we hopefully clean and rid ourselves of the spirits of Jacob's Funeral Home. We hope by getting rid of the items we are unearthing that the spirits will go with them to people who can help them. If you'd like to be involved you can look for all the items we find here at the funeral home to be placed on eBay for auction. Happy bidding and remember to check our other auctions online right now and look for more stuff from the funeral home being listed as we get them sorted and cleaned up.

Look at the interest its generated from us all smile

Even though I believe in ghosts and the like, and whilst it is a genuinely spooky story, I believe its just that.

Getting rid of some old box would be a lot easier with an interesting tale attached to it, than not smile
