A New York man named Adam Ellis claims that a dead boy with a dented skull named ‘Dear David’ is haunting his apartment. At first he only appeared in dreams, but now Adam says he believes he’s appearing in real-life and his cats all know what’s up.
His thread just started trending on Twitter.
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

Adam then says that he had another dream where he met a girl in the library who asks him, “You’ve seen Dear David, haven’t you?” The girl then explains that he’s dead, only appears at midnight and that you can ask him two questions if you say ‘dear David’ first. If you ask a third question he’ll kill you.
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.

In the dream, I say, “Dear David, how did you die?” He mumbles, “An accident in a store.”

I say, “Dear David, what happened in the store?” He groans, “A shelf was pushed on my head.”

I’m frozen with fear. I ask, “Who pushed the shelf?” David doesn’t answer.

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, now terrified for his life, begins Googling deaths in the city or anything relating to a ‘David’ to no avail.
He moved into the vacant apartment upstairs. But it appears Dear David has followed him.
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

When I opened the door and turned on the hall light, nothing was there, but my cats seemed unnerved. Bushy tails, etc.

Update: for the sixth night in a row, my cat has walked over to the door promptly at midnight and stared at it. pic.twitter.com/97oSBLfOIw

What is going on? pic.twitter.com/30mLSqYhXo

I couldn’t tell so I mustered the courage to open the door. Nothing was out there but I took another photo. Look at this:

Is it just me or is is there something in the first photo, right where the bannister meets the shelves? Hiding on the stairs. pic.twitter.com/s1g9bRzOPj

I wasn’t sure if it was a smudge or something so I took a second photo from inside. There was something out there. pic.twitter.com/NnHepK90aC

I am pretty scared. pic.twitter.com/Z6CZ8c20EA

Adam is now desperate, using salt to ‘block’ the spirit from coming in.
I don’t even know if this is the right kind of salt. pic.twitter.com/aE7QapNarC

The cats are still trying to tell him something.
And here we go. Just minutes before midnight. pic.twitter.com/vZ7MGCumpu

Twitter followers are freaking out.
This is where i would break every lease and move far far away. (And sell it as a script.) https://t.co/MbFQLd86t2

this thread legitimately sent a shiver down my spine i am serious
and the cats omfghttps://t.co/Z614L63RNZ— darth:™ (@darth) August 7, 2017
Had something similar happen in an apt but was w/a clown figure. Turns out my stove was leaking gas the entire time, so, check to be safe

This is so messed up. I wish you well, Adam, but I can’t see you until you resolve this for sure. I’ll send sage. https://t.co/yeBPHcsf9R

Is Adam doomed? Will this Dear David actually hurt him? Is Dear David a ghost? Is Dear David a chemical leak making Adam lose his mind? Should Ghostbusters be called? Is this all a clever hoax to go viral in hopes to sell a script? SO many questions.
While sleep paralysis is actually a thing, I will say the fact that he has multiple cats already makes me a skeptic.
