In the fall of 2017 Buzz feed's Adam Ellis took to Twitter to begin detailing the haunting of his New York City apartment and what would happen next would become the subject of lengthy debates all across the world.

On this episode of After Dark I'd like to take a deeper look at the Dear David story and get to the bottom of Adam Elli's nightmare adventure once and for all.

    What do you think of the Dear David story? Do you think its real or fake?

    Man, I wish I believed in ghosts again. Unfortunately life shown me that monsters and nightly creatures are just myth and people are far more scarier and real.

    I got sleep paralysis A LOT in the first few months after I quit drinking about 13 years ago, as my body adjusted to being sober. It was absolutely terrifying. But it happened so frequently that I started telling myself to be more and more brave, and as my sleep paralysis demons would sit on my chest or run through my room, I would just ride it out and tell myself, "Wait, and just see what happens.." One time, I woke into paralysis and the little shadow boy ran through my room like he usually did, and I just waited and watched (instead of screaming fruitlessly for my wife to wake me up). All of a sudden, I fell through my body into weightlessness and I experienced what (I later learned) was my first Lucid Dream (there's a whole subreddit dedicated to it). I flew around the room all night long, it was incredible. I became really good at lucid dreaming as my sleep patterns returned to normal while I adjusted to sobriety. Now, years later, it's such a rare treat that I wake into sleep paralysis, I often get so excited I accidentally wake myself up before I can have my lucid dream >_< (Pro Tip: If you wake into sleep paralysis, the one thing you can still control is your breathing. You will wake up if you change your breathing pattern... Either take faster shallower breaths, or slower deep breaths and this will signal your body to release the paralysis. Try it! Or hang on and see if you can get to lucid dreaming!)

    LMAO, the cat starts playing with the string he was using to fake things. It's super easy to fake things moving using string that's almost invisible.
  • Hey @squidoodle just stumbled upon your channel today and binged 7 vids. Keep up the great work! You’re very talented, and have interesting content. I’m a 90s kid and to this day love cartoons and those vids are how I stumbled onto you channel
  • I like this darker twist you are taking. You've kinda always been there though so this seems like a natural progression. Bendy, the Peter Pan one, even the dominoes one was kinda dark. Keep em coming!
  • I suffer from sleep paralysis, it first happened when I was teenager in the 90’s. I had no way to research what had happened to me. It was and is terrifying. I’ve come to find that a lot of what people see are culturally related .

    I guess David is mad at Adam that the picture he took. I guess he wasn’t expecting him to take him in a terrible state

    I got sleep paralysis once remembers my fan was above my bed and I remember seeing it turning into a girl with black hair a grey dressed crawling on the top of my bed and her head was turned around but her black hair was covering her head and then next morning I woke up and I couldn’t really explain it but my mom was trying to wake me up and I just couldn’t get out of the bed I was able to move but I just didn’t want to move I stayed like that silent for a hour then my mom was worried then she took me to the doctor or something and he told her I had sleep paralysis it was the most crazy thing that ever happened to me

    I can't help but laugh at anyone who actually thinks this is real. The doll he made was too funny 😂 It just goes to show how easy it is to manipulate people, which is the TRUE horror of DD. With enough panache, you can convince people of anything. Edit: I want to clarify, of course sleep paralysis is real, but DD is not. Ellis made him up. He is a total work of fiction. The reason he went quiet about it is because he achieved his goal, which was a Hollywood deal of some kind.

    This almost sounds too good to be true but it also sounds too crazy enough to be unrealistic I think I need to hear more evidence
  • I recently got sucked into the story even though im 2 years behind and im so confused. I cant find anything about the movie... is it still happening???
