The podcast says no 'Dybbuk Box' concept existed before Kevin's 2003 eBay post and he even offered $100k to anyone who could prove otherwise. That checks out. Zero documented references to a sealed box trapping a Dybbuk exist in Jewish folklore prior to that listing.

Kevin admitting he created it doesn't mean nothing real happened. Sam's hair loss and hallucinations aren't explained away just because the origin story was fiction.
