In Jewish mythology, a dybbuk from the word dāḇaq meaning "adhere" or "cling" to is a malicious possessing spirit believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person. It supposedly leaves the host body once it has accomplished its goal, sometimes after being helped "Dybbuk" is an abbreviation of dibbūq mē-rūaḥ rā‘ā "a cleavage of an evil spirit", or dibbūq min ha-ḥīṣōnīm "dibbuk from the outside", which is found in man.
"Dybbuk" comes from the Hebrew word dibbūq which means "the act of sticking" and is a nominal form derived from the verb dāḇaq "to adhere" or "cling". The term first appears in a number of 16th century writings, though it was ignored by mainstream scholarship until S. Ansky's play The Dybbuk popularized the concept in literary circles. As mentioned known in modern times from "Possession" the movie. Earlier accounts of possession (such as that given by Josephus) were of demonic possession rather than that by ghosts.
Apparently there are very precise details of names and locations which have been included in accounts of dybbuk possession.
There are other forms of soul transmigration in Jewish mythology. In contrast to the dybbuk,
the ibbur "meaning "impregnation" is a positive possession, which happens when a righteous soul temporarily possesses a body.
The gilgul, literally "rolling" puts forth the idea that a soul must live through many lives before it gains the wisdom to rejoin with God.
