Dybbuk (Jewish folklore)

In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a malicious spirit that possesses a living person. Dybbuks are typically the souls of the deceased who were not properly laid to rest or had unresolved issues in life. They take over the host's body and may speak through them or exhibit unnatural behaviors. Exorcism rituals are often performed to remove the Dybbuk from the afflicted individual, as they are considered dangerous and malevolent entities.
