And on Friday the 13th , no less .
Does this image mean anything to you?
How about this one? Ringing any bells?
If so, you probably followed the massively viral ghost story about “Dear David,” the creepy and malevolent spirit who haunted former BuzzFeed artist Adam Ellis, which he chronicled on Twitter, now known as X, in 2017.
So , my apartment is currently being haunted by the trace of a dead child and he ’s trying to drink down me . ( screw thread )
Adam chronicled a series of mysterious happenings in his apartment that year: His cats stared at the door every night at midnight. He recorded video of furniture moving on its own. Most commonly, he had several nights of sleep paralysis, combined with disturbing visions and dreams involving a mysterious child with a misshapen head. A girl in one of the dreams named him: Dear David.

Well, guess what…the story has been adapted into a feature film by Lionsgate and BuzzFeed Studios. And you canwatch it now!
Dear Davidstars Augustus Prew as a fictionalized version of Adam. He even works at BuzzFeed in the movie!
Against the advice of his friend and coworker (Andrea Bang), he spends one night clapping back at trolls online.
But he gets a follow and a weird message from this mysterious account…
And later that night…he suffers from sleep paralysis and sees THIS:
Adam is convinced that the mysterious apparition has something to do with the account…
…and just like in real life, he writesa viral BuzzFeed articleabout it.
The more Adam investigates David…
…the darker this story gets.
(Dear God, I will never unsee this face.)
(Or this one.)
What’s going on here??? Who exactly is David??? I’m scared to find out.
On a lighter note, I appreciate all the attention to detail in re-creating moments from the original thread…
