Christie Bosch on TikTok got the internet buzzing with her post about the new A24 true crime documentary The Navidson Record. The story involves creepy metaphysics, where a photographer named Will Navidson moves into a house that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
“I have never been this disturbed by a documentary and I would be careful watching it if you have any mental health issues,” Christie says in her post. She continues by stating that Navisdon brings in experts to investigate the house, documenting everything. “The difference in dimensions is only a few inches at first, but as time passes, the house expands and the men even start finding doorways that weren’t there before.”
“I don’t want to spoil what happens but I will say that when they decide to open these doors, they find spaces that defy logic and connect with something that is deeply unsettling. The ending of this film has inspired countless essays and much debate.”

This documentary sounds fantastic, so where can you watch it? Well, you can’t. It’s fake, at least in Christie’s context. But you can read the book.
Christie posted this mock review on February 15. And since then it’s disappointed fans about over a million times. It’s actually the story from the very popular real-life book titled House of Leaves written by Mark Z. Danielewski in 2000.
The book is about as meta as you can get with a story inside a story. Some spoilers ahead: A man finds a manuscript written by another man named Zampanò who is writing about a man named Will Navidson who is documenting his strange house via film. Whether the things that are happening in the house are real, or even if the documentary is real, is the question. It’s complicated, but that’s what makes Christie’s video such a deep cut.
After the onslaught of questions from her followers about where to watch this incredible documentary, Christie’s boyfriend filmed a response:

It’s the ultimate “if you know, you know prank,” and Christie fooled a lot of people who didn’t know. She had to clarify her intentions in a since-deleted follow-up response.
“A lot of you are asking where to watch this, so I will explain,” she says. “I didn’t think this would get this many views because it’s so niche. First of all, you can’t watch this anywhere. I’m really sorry. Please forgive me.”
Many eager viewers ran to YouTube and found that there is indeed a documentary titled The Navidson Record but it’s not from A24.
“If you spent time watching that four part series on YouTube, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know that that existed. But I bet those people who made that are probably impressed with the amount of views they’re getting.”
Christie then apologizes for her little joke and makes the following statement: “I promise that in the future ones I won’t lie to you guys or fool you.”
So The Navidson Record does exist, but it doesn’t, but it does.
