In this episode, we dive into one of the most chilling internet ghost stories of all time: Dear David. What started as a few strange dreams quickly spiraled into a terrifying haunting documented in real-time on Twitter by Adam Ellis. From eerie midnight phone calls and ghostly photos to a malformed child spirit with a haunting stare, this story gripped millions and blurred the line between online fiction and real-life nightmare. Join us as we recount the timeline of events, the unsettling evidence Adam shared, and the lingering question: was Dear David real, or just a brilliantly told tale?
