Adam Ellis’ live Twitter updates of a GHOST named ‘Dear David’ haunting his home are the scariest things you’ll read this week
The illustrator claims he sees a child with a huge misshapen head dented on one side who sits in a green rocking chair at the end of his bed
AN illustrator who fears his home is being haunted by a ghost named Dear David has shared live updates throughout the night of strange goings-on.
Adam Ellis claims the ghost of a dead child is haunting his New York apartment - and that it's trying to kill him - in a series of late-night tweets.
The supernatural saga began when Ellis drew a picture of the child ghost, with a "huge misshapen head which was dented on one side" who was sat in a green rocking chair at the end of his bed in a dream he had.
Then suddenly months later, Ellis' two cats stood staring at his front door at midnight for six nights running.
He told his 162,000 followers: "Something strange is happening".
He added: "So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he's trying to kill me.
"He started appearing in dreams, but I think he's crossed over into the real world now.
"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 paralysed. (I have sleep paralysis fairly often. It sucks.)
"Right before he reached my bed, I woke up screaming."
A few nights later Ellis had another dream in which he asked "David" the ghost how he died.
He replied it was an accident in a store when a shelf was "pushed on my head".
Ellis spent time researching newspaper archives to discover if a child named David had been killed in a store, but found nothing.

Now, Ellis is having to re-live his terror after getting a "weird feeling" when his cats gathered at his front door at midnight.
He said: "I looked out the peephole, and I'm dead certain I saw movement on the other side.
"When I opened the door and turned on the hall light, nothing was there, but my cats seemed unnerved. Bushy tails, etc.
"And that's where I am right now. Dear David found me, I think. I don't know what to do."
On the sixth night, Ellis shared a picture he had taken through the peephole - and another one when he had the courage to open the front door.
The photos have now seemingly confirmed his suspicions of supernatural activity in his flat - after spotting a strange smudge.
He added: "Is it just me or is is there something in the first photo, right where the bannister meets the shelves? Hiding on the stairs.
"I wasn't sure if it was a smudge or something so I took a second photo from inside. There was something out there.
"I deadbolted the lock and got in bed because I don't know what else to do. I can still hear my cat meowing at the door.
"I am pretty scared.
"I would be too if my cat was a demon and probably responsible for this whole thing."
In his latest update, Ellis said: "I haven't dreamed about David in a few months, but he appeared again last night."
