Sleep- The period when we can take a break from all the worries of the world, the period when we forget all our anxieties, the period that shuts us from our strenuous schedules, the period that promises nothing but only the luxury of relaxation and calmness. But ever wondered what would happen if this definition of calmness starts haunting you? If there is someone in your fantasy land you don’t want to see but are recurrently forced to? If there is someone creepily stalking you in your dreams? Spooked up, right? This is the reality Adam Ellis has been living with!
Adam Ellis, a 30-year-old New Yorker, has been having some really spooky nightmares since a couple of months. The man claims to be living in an apartment with the ghost of a dead boy.
He shared his eerie story through this goosebump generating twitter thread.
1. How it started.
So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he's trying to kill me. (thread)

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

3. *imagines it for 5 seconds* *freaks out* *imagines again*
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.

4. *gets a blanket to cover the face*
He had a huge misshapen head that was dented on one side. I did my best to draw it: pic.twitter.com/AJizlw7qXe

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

6. Thank you, for clarifying that!
I couldn't move because I was paralyzed. (I have sleep paralysis fairly often. It sucks.)

7. *screams in unison with Adam*
Right before he reached my bed, I woke up screaming.

8. The twist in the tale
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?"

9. I think I will soon have to remove, the ‘dear’ before David!
I was like, "Who?" And she said, "Dear David. You saw him."
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
10. What if we ask the third one?
She continued, "He's dead. He only appears at midnight, and you can ask him two questions if you said 'Dear David' first."
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
11. Danger at three
Then she added, "But never try to ask him a third question, or he'll kill you."
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
12. Let the quizzing begin.
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.

13. *gets popcorn*
In the dream, I say, "Dear David, how did you die?" He mumbles, "An accident in a store."
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
14. Woah!
I say, "Dear David, what happened in the store?" He groans, "A shelf was pushed on my head."
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
15. SMH!
I'm frozen with fear. I ask, "Who pushed the shelf?" David doesn't answer.
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
16. Duh!
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 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
17. Right move, Adam!
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 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
18. Who is this David then?
I even try different names—Daniel, Dylan, Devon. Nothing. A few weeks go by without incident.
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
19. Finally a relief.
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 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
20. Happy ending?
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 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
21. Or not?
But lately, something strange is happening.
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
22. Cats are curious but correct!
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 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
23. Not again!
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 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
24. David, are you there?
When I opened the door and turned on the hall light, nothing was there, but my cats seemed unnerved. Bushy tails, etc.
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
25. *feels the hair-raising on my hand*
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.
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
26. Some sort of sign?
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
— 𝔞𝔡𝔞𝔪 𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔰 (@moby_dickhead) August 9, 2017
27. Disclaimer: Not for the faint hearted
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

While you may or may not believe in ghosts, you can’t deny that the thread was indeed engaging and kept you on the edge of your seat throughout. Maybe, now every night while you await sleep, you might also await a tweet from Adam! Just kidding, no need to get psyched out!
We hope ‘DEAR’ reader, you have a good night!
