Mannis is a creative writer by trade, and as a writer myself, his story comes across as highly fabricated, and something that you might find on r/nosleep. To me, it just seems like Mannis is not only lying to Zak, and is probably trying to scam Zak by selling him more boxes, but made up the whole 'Dybbuk box' story for attention, as well as to make money on eBay. Instead, the manifestation was described as an old woman, or a 'hag'. Zak bought a second 'Dybbuk box' himself, and Mannis claimed that, instead of just sealing away a demon in one box, the lady he bought the original box from used ten boxes 'to split and seal the demon'.įurthermore, there was no prior mention of a 'tall shadow man with a cape or cloak' as part of the box's manifestations. Instead of there just being one 'Dybbuk box' - which was the case when Mannis owned the box - now that Zak owns the box, Mannis suddenly claims to have come across 'six more Dybbuk boxes'. In the last episode of Quarantine, however, in the time since Zak received the box, Mannis has since made up new information about the 'Dybbuk box' story. While some of the story details of the 'Dybbuk box' were changed, generally, the key points of Mannis's story remained the same.

I always found the story of the 'Dybbuk box' to be fishy - many of the details changed from show to show, and many of them appeared to be made-up and exaggerated for dramatic effect - but the last episode of Ghost Adventures: Quarantine really made the story reek of 'hoax'.

(One poster says in the comments that the box first appeared on Paranormal Witness in 2012.) On many of them, the story of Kevin Mannis and the 'Dybbuk box' has appeared. I've been watching several different ghost shows, including Ghost Adventures, for several years now.
