Always Scrolling: Kelsi Davies
Oct 28, 2024
Always Scrolling is PAPER's spotlight on our favorite TikTokers in fashion, beauty, lifestyle and more. Keep reading to discover this week's viral sensation: Kelsi Davies.
Kelsi Davies is an actress, psychic and clairvoyant who discovered her ability to connect with spirits on the other side at a young age. She has made it her mission to connect people with their deceased relatives and show her millions of followers that not all spirits are evil or scary.
After getting her start as a content creator on YouTube, Davies was inspired by a friend to join TikTok, where she's made a name for herself with her paranormal content, acting skits and choreography. Some of her most popular videos include horror skits that feature her haunted doll, Lola. She also does makeup and art, including them both in her content with costuming.
"I'm really excited to share that I'm working on a three-part series on my YouTube channel called 'Nights of Terror' that features people from WWE as well as Jujutsu Kaisen, where I take them to some of the most haunted places I've ever been to, and we catch paranormal activity on camera," she told PAPER.
Below, Davies chatted about the paranormal, the characters she creates for her videos and her favorite scary movie.
What do you love about what you do?
I love that I am able to create a positive community and safe space for people who are into spirituality and the paranormal. It’s amazing capturing paranormal evidence on camera for the world to see. I get to create memorable content, share my passion for acting and dancing, and just have fun with it. I absolutely love everything that I do.
Who is another TikToker that you love right now?
I love TheBalesky. Her name is Amie. She is a friend of mine and a professional medium. I absolutely love watching her readings that she does for people, and I just love hearing about their experiences and how it helps them cope with the loss of their loved ones. She has such a beautiful energy about her.
Craziest comment you’ve received on a post?
I have a haunted doll named Lola who is featured in my content a lot, and some of the craziest comments I’ve received on my posts are that she has visited people in their dreams. I think that's pretty wild.
@kelsiidaviess The Tooth Fairy vs Pearl 🪓🦷 “Pumpkin Song” by Jack Stauber #jackstauber #weirdcore #pearl
What’s one of your favorite looks you’ve posted?
My favorite costume to do is the tooth fairy character that I created. People really like her — she's very creepy, weird and a little bit quirky. I've created a whole series and tooth fairy “lore” on my channel that people love to follow.
What’s a trend that you love right now?
There's a TikTok trend that's cracking me up right now where people are asking their significant other or friends to do an interpretive dance in order to sleep over at their house or get something that they want. I’ve been scrolling on it for hours.
One that you hate?
There aren’t really any trends that I hate, but I really don’t like cancel culture.
@kelsiidaviess Of course I accidentally bought another haunted doll 🤦♀️ meet Liz! #haunteddoll #paranormal
What would you never wear?
Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything that I wouldn’t wear because I love to dress up. As an actress, I love to play a bunch of different characters and not limit myself.
Favorite fashion and beauty brands right now?
My favorite fashion brand right now is Disturbia. I've bought so many of their clothes. They fit very well and they are perfect for the spooky season, which is year-round for me. A beauty brand I really like is NYX Cosmetics. I love their lip liners and their liquid eyeliner stays on all day.
Who’s your celebrity crush?
Lady Gaga. I think she is so talented and beautiful.
@kelsiidaviess Lola was really feeling this one 🔥 dc: @CHRISTINA STASII #haunteddoll #dance @Druhawk
What's your favorite scary movie?
My favorite scary movie is Pearl. I also really like X, which is part of the trilogy. Mia Goth is such a talented actress and she is definitely an inspiration to me. I also really like gory movies because of all the special effects that go into it.
Favorite restaurant in LA?
I am really simple when it comes to food and I'm also a very picky eater, so two places I like are Cheesecake Factory and Olive Garden.
Favorite club in LA?
I don’t go partying or clubbing. I like to stay at home, watch TV and eat good food.
What are three songs you have on repeat right now?
Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Remi Wolf. I like “Anthony Kiedis” and “Sexy Villain.” I’ve also been listening to “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish.
