Has anyone read through the Dear David twitter thread? There were updates recently. I made the mistake of reading them, even though I HATE horror/ghost/scary anything. OMG! freaky ghosty thingsI need him to come out and say this was all a big joke or something. I can't with this!

I stopped reading when he went to Japan. Just caught up. I don't know what I think about it. But he should totally have some ghost hunters tv show do a thing there.

That's where I had stopped previously, too. I feel like some is just sooooo over the top strange that it can't be true. But like, just nope to those last ones. And yes, he needs some ghost hunter help. Is Lorraine Warren still getting out there?

I feel bad for this guy. This is obvioualy causing him so much distress.
I don't understand why he doesn't just ask him to go away.

I was all in until the end. The first photo I closed my phone browser in a fear panic but then curiosity won. I'm not buying it anymore.

Those last photos are crazy. Like turned up the brightness on my screen to see it and couldn’t believe it. Not sure about this whole thing.
Did anyone see if they could find other pictures of that statue in Japan?

Did anyone see if they could find other pictures of that statue in Japan? With a quick search, I can't find anything about the statue that isn't directly related to this story. Would help if he'd included at least the name of the park or nearby streets where he saw it. ETA: I'm not good at the Google apparently! Good find twoblackcats

I only see pictures of the one side of the sculpture, though. With the woman holding one child. Would like to see pics of the other side to see if his photo is actually of that sculpture.

I read this about a month ago & went back last week to see if there was an update but just the one about the ghost hunters contacting him. I figured it was pretty much over.
Srsly, when is he going to let us in on the joke. Like, this is a very long advertisement for his new horror comic or something??

I read through all of this today. The fact that he won't let any ghost hunter shows in makes me convinced it's a hoax- he said something like he wants his privacy, but he's posting it on twitter for all to read, so... super private?

Sure it is fake, but it’s a fun read, and kept me all-in until the bitter end. I don’t believe in the supernatural but I like well written stories about them. There’s something about the daily log he kept that gives it such a creepy vibe. I loved that it all was seemingly created out of the boy with the sunken skull on the statue. Someone saw that and thought it looked creepy and went with it.
None of the cat stuff convinced me. My cats do the same shit that his cats do. Cats do weird shit. The Polaroid stuff can easily be doctored as well as the photos of the ghost. The sleep paralysis is really convincing. I have seen strange or unbelievable visions during sleep paralysis episodes, including out of body experiences.

I accidently got sucked into this today. He maybe had me for a minute, but the last post/pictures gave himself away.
1: If he remembers the dream so vividly & in such detail, why didn't he immediately check his phone pictures upon waking up after the last dream? He remembers snapping a ton of pictures but doesn't look until a few days later, and only came across them as he was looking for something else? Nope, you would check that right away I would think, especially after everything thats happened.
2: I don't think ghost show up in pictures in true life form. Like the ghostly shadows/blurs, I can buy into that. But not a little boy in true form in the shot.

He's an author and illustrator. Probably going to have a book come out of it. It's an interesting story and he has great Photoshop skills. The cats are just being cats. Someone in on it on the other side of the door, etc.

I mean, I totally get the skepticism. But I’m the type of person who KNOWS something in a movie isn’t real and STILL gets scared shitless. So a big nope to those pics at the end, doctored or not.

So I read this whole thing yesterday then started S1 E1 of Stranger Things last night. DH didn't get home until late. I woke up this morning to my phone saying Voice Recorder app had been downloaded. All things combined freaked me out a little.

I remember reading this over the summer. I believe that stuff like this can happen, but I don't really believe his account.
And I agree that those pictures at the end are photoshopped, but they were still insanely creepy and scary.

I would be less skeptical if he weren't a writer.

After the most recent update, I assume he planned the whole thing around the statue, knowing he was going to Japan in the fall. The pictures are ridiculous. He has a book coming out. I mean, I'll keep following but I see you.
