Mannis wrote that he experienced a series of horrific nightmares shared with other people while they were in possession of the box or when they stayed at his home while he had it. Numerous owners of the box have reported that strange phenomena accompany it. Upon opening the box, Mannis wrote that he found that it contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blond hair bound with cord, a lock of black/brown hair bound with cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word "shalom", a small golden wine goblet, one dried rose bud, and a single candle holder with four octopus-shaped legs. She told him the box had been kept in her grandmother's sewing room and was never opened because a dybbuk was said to live inside it. Upon hearing that the box was a family heirloom, Mannis offered to give the box back to the family, but the granddaughter insisted that he take it, saying that the family did not want the box. Havaleh's granddaughter told Mannis that the box had been bought in Spain after the Holocaust. It had belonged to a survivor of the Holocaust in Poland named Havaleh, who had escaped to Spain and purchased it there before her immigration to the United States. Īccording to Mannis' story, he bought the box at an estate sale in 2001. The cabinet has the Shema carved into the back of it.
