Deadly Possessions is a show that revolves around individuals and families who own mysterious and cursed objects that they believe are causing them misfortune and pain. In season 1 episode 1 titled Robert the Doll and the Dibbuk Box, we see retired wrestler and collector of creepy objects, Zak Bagans, investigate two fascinating artifacts that allegedly hold deadly paranormal power.

The first artifact is named Robert the Doll, which is believed to be cursed and has been held responsible for a string of unfortunate incidents that happened to those who dare to disrespect it. The story behind Robert the Doll begins with a young boy named Robert Eugene Otto, who was gifted the doll by his family maid in 1904. Rumor has it that the maid gave the boy the doll soon after being fired, and that she cursed it before giving it to him as revenge. The doll's legend grew by leaps and bounds when the boy started to treat the toy as a real person, and it was alleged that the doll brought about deadly consequences to those who mocked or neglected it.

Zak Bagans meets with paranormal experts, Robert Eugene Otto's great-nephew, and the curator of the Robert the Doll Museum to investigate the doll's connections with spiritual entities. They provide a detailed account of the doll's past, including unexplained events that happened immediately after it was donated to the museum, further reinforcing the belief that the doll is cursed. Zak Bagans gets permission to conduct a unique investigation with Robert the Doll, and things get frighteningly unpredictable.

The second artifact is the Dibbuk Box, a wooden case with Jewish inscriptions that is believed to be the home of an evil spirit. It was reported that every time the box had been opened, catastrophic events occurred. The box was found in an estate sale by Kevin Mannis, who later gifted it to his mother. In the episode, Kevin talks about the strange occurrences that have happened ever since he bought the box.

Zak Bagans brings in paranormal researchers, a Rabbi, and the box's former owner to test and understand the mythological powers that this relic is said to possess. The group goes through the precautions taken in keeping the box safe and the haunting occurrences that stirred up after it was opened, which convinced them of the box's malignant power.

Throughout the episode, Zak Bagans meets with individuals connected to each object, as well as individuals who believe in paranormal activity. They share their experiences haunted by these cursed possessions, which leads to plenty of discussion around their authenticity.

Deadly Possessions is a unique and spine-tingling look into the folklore of various cursed objects that have had significant impacts on the lives of their respective owners. As they investigate these relics, Zak Bagans and his team of paranormal experts pull no punches in exploring the reasons behind the paranormal activity and myths surrounding them. The show is fully engrossing, educational, and terrifying.
