DYBBUK
A dybbuk is a malicious possessing
spirit, believed to be the
dislocated soul of a dead person. These
demons are said to have escaped
from
Hades, or to have been turned away from Hades for serious
transgressions such as suicide, for which the soul is denied entry. The
dybbuk attaches itself to the body of a living person and inhabits the
flesh. According to belief, a soul that has been unable to fulfill its
function during its lifetime is given another opportunity to do so in
dybbuk form. It supposedly leaves the host body once it has
accomplished its goal, sometimes after being helped.
Dybbuks are members of the
Supernatural and Fantastic Wayfarers
Association.
