People are getting spooked out by Adam Ellis’ (@moby_dickhead) unnerving, supposedly true haunting he is currently experiencing in his home: Dear David. I don’t know about you, but I’d sure as hell be out of that apartment ASAP.
If you haven’t seen the story, continue on to read about Adam’s creepy going ons concerning a dead little boy who goes by the name, David.
So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he's trying to kill me. (thread)

He started appearing in dreams, but I think he's crossed over into the real world now.

The first time I saw him, I was experiencing sleep paralysis and saw a child sitting in the green rocking chair at the foot of my bed.

He had a huge misshapen head that was dented on one side. I did my best to draw it: pic.twitter.com/AJizlw7qXe

For a while he just stared at me, but then he got out of the chair and started shambling toward the bed.

I couldn't move because I was paralyzed. (I have sleep paralysis fairly often. It sucks.)

Right before he reached my bed, I woke up screaming.

I had another dream a few nights later, where I was in a library and a girl came up to me and said, "You've seen Dear David, haven't you?"
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
I was like, "Who?" And she said, "Dear David. You saw him."
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
She continued, "He's dead. He only appears at midnight, and you can ask him two questions if you said 'Dear David' first."
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
Then she added, "But never try to ask him a third question, or he'll kill you."

I was very shaken! Having two dreams about the same thing is pretty weird. Anyway, a couple weeks passed without incident.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
Then, David came back in another dream. Same situation—I was in bed, and he was sitting in the rocking chair near the window, staring at me.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
In the dream, I say, "Dear David, how did you die?" He mumbles, "An accident in a store."
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
I say, "Dear David, what happened in the store?" He groans, "A shelf was pushed on my head."
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
I'm frozen with fear. I ask, "Who pushed the shelf?" David doesn't answer.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
I realize that I've asked a third question, which I'm not supposed to do. At that point, I wake up, absolutely terrified.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
The next couple days I google deaths in the city, but can't find anything about a kid named David dying in a store.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
I even try different names—Daniel, Dylan, Devon. Nothing. A few weeks go by without incident.

Sort of randomly, the apartment above mine is vacated, and I have the opportunity to move into it. It's a larger apartment, so I'm thrilled.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
Another month or two goes by, and I sort of forget about Dear David. I think he lost track of me because I moved upstairs.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
But lately, something strange is happening.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
For the past 4 nights, my cats gather at the front door at exactly midnight & just stare at it, almost like something is on the other side. pic.twitter.com/Y8nnVLv6b4
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
Last night I got a weird feeling and looked out the peephole, and I'm dead certain I saw movement on the other side.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
When I opened the door and turned on the hall light, nothing was there, but my cats seemed unnerved. Bushy tails, etc.
— Adam ElIis (@adamtotscomix) August 7, 2017
And that's where I am right now. Dear David found me, I think. I don't know what to do. I'll keep you updated.
