I really can't figure out why David is so afraid of Barnabas and apparently so suspicious. He's seen the secret room and the empty coffin and Sarah mysteriously hinted that it wasn't always empty, which he doesn't seem to believe. There's nothing about that to associate it with Barnabas. Barnabas and Willie then reveal that they know about the room, but that's still no reason to assume that he was the one that had been in the coffin. It doesn't seem that David would be likely to believe that anyway. And, it wouldn't prove that it was Barnabas and not Willie, but he seems so certain that Willie wasn't the one who kidnaped Maggie.
I assume it was mostly Barnabas' manner when he found David that frightened him, plus his suspicions about the lie that no one was at Collinwood so they had to go to the Old House. Unless it's the "spell" Barnabas is producing when he looks out at him, seemingly sending him evil thoughts. But, in that case, Barnabas is responsible himself for David being suspicious!!
