A fresh TikTok trend has emerged, initiated by Ellery (known as @dentedmilk), who kicked it off with a video on Thanksgiving. In the video, Ellery showcased herself alongside an ancient photograph of her great-great-great-grandmother, who, as she claimed, passed away in 1923 during childbirth. Remarkably, a century later, Ellery finds herself at a similar age to her ancestor.
Throughout the video, a eerie, mechanized voice melodically utters the words “Well you don’t know me, but I know you. And I’ve got a message,” excerpted from Laurie Anderson’s song ‘O Superman.’
@dentedmilk She’s my great great grandmother who died in 1923 during childbirth. I’m around her age, 100 years later. Her name is Jessie.
