🎧 Chapter 19: The Final Trace of Dear David - The Haunting of Adam Ellis

Not all secrets stay buried… some crawl out of dreams.

In 2017, cartoonist Adam Ellis tweeted something that sent the internet into a frenzy:
“My apartment is being haunted by the ghost of a dead child, and he’s trying to kill me.”

What followed was a months-long digital haunting—documented in real time. Distorted photos. Cats staring at unseen forces. Footsteps in the hall. And one rule: ask him two questions, never a third.

Was it all a hoax? A viral art project?
Or… something worse?
