Locations are not the only things that can be haunted, items and even people can be latched onto by entities. Here are seven items that have been long renowned as the some of the most haunted items in the world.
1. The “Ebay” Dibbuk Box
In 2001, a Portland antique dealer attended an estate sale, the belongings were owned by Jewish woman who had passed away at 103. The lady was the only member of her family to survive the Holocaust. The antique dealer found an interesting small locked cabinet. The woman’s grand daughter warned the man that is was indeed a ‘Dibbuk’ box and contained an evil spirit. He purchased the box anyway. He soon discovered that the woman’s warnings were real. He began to witness his doors open and close, bad odors would fill the air and strange noises began to plague his shop. Soon after he gave the box to his mother she had a stroke. The man was eager to get rid of the box so he placed it up for sale on Ebay along with an account of what he had experienced. Museum curator Jason Haxton bought the box and wrote a book about it’s history.

She claimed that she heard crying and whispers when the painting was displayed, as well as seeing a shadow figure. That’s why she hid it in the attic. As soon as Robinson took the painting home he and his family began to experience paranormal events. His wife felt as if she was being touched, his son fell down the stairs and they saw and heard things. ‘The Anguished Man’ is now hidden away in his basement. Robinson was able to catch some of the events on video.

People began leaving dolls as tribute to her and over the years the island was over run by dolls. People claim that the eyes of the dolls move to watch you, their heads turn, and you can hear whispers and laughter.

7. The Myrtles Plantation Mirror
In 1980 a large ornate mirror was hung in the main house of the Myrtles Plantation. Guests and staff soon began reporting seeing figures in the mirror, as well as child sized hand prints left on the mirror’s glass. According to legend, the mirror is haunted by Sara Woodruff and her children. The family was murdered by poisoning. People say the reason their souls are trapped is due to the tradition of covering mirrors when someone dies to prevent them from becoming trapped. The mirror was not covered when they passed.
