The Possession is a 2012 supernatural horror film produced by Sam Raimi. It is based on a true story and the allegedly haunted dybbuk box.

The film's star Jeffrey Dean Morgan claims to be a skeptic, but had to confess to strange things happening during the making of the film.

Lights would continually blow during filming despite there being no apparent electrical faults. Cold breezes would blow through the sets with no clear source.

The strangest incident was a fire that broke out in the storage facility housing all the film's props. An investigation could find no cause for the fire, ruling out arson or an electrical fault. The prop Dybbuk box used in the movie was among the items destroyed in the fire.

The owners of the real Dybbuk box agreed to bring it to the set, but after being spooked by various strange events, the cast and crew declined the offer.
