Is “Dear David” Real? An Examination Of Twitter’s New Favorite Haunting

I’m sure that by now — the internet being what it is — you’ve heard about “Dear David,” the ghost allegedly haunting illustrator and writer Adam Ellis’ New York apartment. I covered the story elsewhere when it was just starting to go viral, so I’ll send you over there for a more in-depth summary (EDIT 8/29: Here are some updates); for the curious, though, the short version is this:

On Aug. 7, Ellis tweeted, “So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he’s trying to kill me.” Several months prior (or at least, that’s what I think the timeline is like — Ellis hasn’t gotten more specific with when it all started than that), he had, during an episode of sleep paralysis, dreamed that a boy with a misshapen head was sitting in a rocking chair at the foot of his bed. In a later dream, a girl asked him, “You’ve seen Dear David, haven’t you?” According to this girl, Dear David appears only at midnight; if you see him, you’re allowed to ask him two questions as long as you preface them with the words “Dear David.” Asking him a third question, though, will result in him killing you. (Sounds familiar, right?)
