Welcome back to the show, Wyrdo's! We're talking about one of the most compelling online hauntings of the digital age: the terrifying saga of "Dear David." Join us as we explore the story of web cartoonist Adam Ellis and his documented encounters with a malevolent child ghost that began in 2017 and captivated millions.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The First Encounter: Adam's initial terrifying experience with a ghostly child figure with a dented head, sitting in a green rocking chair in his apartment.
- The Rules of the Game: A mysterious dream that reveals the rules for speaking to "Dear David"—ask only two questions or risk death.
- The Break in Protocol: Adam's terrifying dream where he breaks the rules by asking a third question, leading to a feeling of overwhelming dread and paralysis.
- The Cats' Warning: The strange, unsettling behavior of Adam's cats, which seem to be aware of a presence at his front door, leading him to take a series of eerie photos through his peephole.
- A New Apartment, a New Haunting: Adam's move to a new apartment in the same building, and the terrifying realization that Dear David may have followed him.
- The App that Catches Ghosts: Adam's use of a sleep talk app, which records bizarre sounds in the night, including snapping, shuffling, and what sounds like a chilling groan.
- The Bruise and the Warehouse: A dream in which the ghost drags Adam to an old warehouse, leading to the discovery of a large bruise on his arm and a chilling real-world find.
- Chilling New Developments: Adam's phone begins to receive mysterious calls, and a pet camera captures something truly unsettling happening with his rocking chair.
- The Evidence: The horrifying photo evidence from Adam's phone, showing the ghostly figure appearing and disappearing in his apartment, getting progressively closer to him as he slept.
- The Ghost Follows: The terrifying realization that Dear David may have followed Adam to his hometown in Montana, leaving behind small, child-like footprints in the snow.
- The Final Terrors: The end of the thread, with a final photo of the figure seemingly hovering over Adam's sleeping body, and the subsequent mystery of a "glitched" photo that appears on his Instagram.
- Weird News:
- A woman who was mistakenly declared dead by the government, leading to bureaucratic nightmares and canceled health insurance.
- A conspiracy theory that the "Gifted and Talented" education programs of the 1980s were actually a covert CIA training program, complete with code-breaking, sign language, and Russian lessons.
