It is something of a cliche to claim that there is truth in old tales, but sometimes there is truth in old cliches. It is all too possible that the skills for performing such exorcisms have long been forgotten, but I hold hope that they may survive in the quiet corners of this ever-speeding world.

If they still can't be swiveled you may be looking at a set of 'singing' clasps. These hinges contain the locking mechanism itself and open only at the reproduction of a key phrase or tune (hence it's name). My grandmother had a jewelery box that worked on the same mechanism. I understand that you can reset them by immersing them in a viscous fluid and running an ever increasing sound wave though them from sub-sonic to high-pitched. Regarding your apparition,.. I know not what. Good luck. Regarding the container, check the hinges of the box. If they still can’t be swiveled you may be looking at a set of ’singing’ clasps.

The glow inside the box is indicative of photonic methods as I am sure you are aware. So-called modernists have sullied Fermat's Principle by stating without revision it requires intention on the part of the photon! Clearly a mind as great as his would not have left such an omission in one of his greatest theories. In this case, I urge you to consider that light travels all paths simultaneously, and as your experiments in photonic capture demonstrate, light leaves its mark, or its entanglement, one might say. I believe a closer examination of the interior of the chest, and an ellucidation of its residual photonic entanglements may reveal more. With thought and deduction one might ascertain the manner of creation of the box, and the manner of containment of the entity previously ensconced within. A reconstruction or enhancement of those entanglements or resonances might very well re-entangle the entity with the chest. The undertaking might be dangerous, and its mere examination contains peril. I implore you to exercise every caution, as I expect the box will also contain a resonance and entanglement to its creator and the circumstances that warranted the capture in the first place.
