The ‘Dear David’ ghost child has been pictured in what are the scariest posts in the whole saga so far.
Adam Ellis, a New York-based illustrator, has been documenting ghostly goings-on from his home for quite some time now and has people hooked on what’s going to happen next.
It all started when he began dreaming – or having nightmares, rather – about a dead child called Dear David – it escalated to his cats acting strangely, peculiar noises and now this…
The illustrator now has 711,000 followers on Twitter who’ve been following every thread.
Adam started his latest posts by apologising for the ‘long break’ since his last updates and explained to his followers:
There also wasn’t much to say for the most part. I wasn’t sleeping well and I was having weird dreams, but they were vague and hard to describe. I’m sleepy all day long, and I’ve been getting sudden bouts of dizziness.
I chocked it up to always having earbuds crammed in and made a mental note to get my ears checked. Other than that, things were pretty quiet. I sort of fooled myself into thinking that finding those items in the attic somehow ended all this.
Not that that would make much sense.
He continued:
But last week something started to happen.
Late on Wednesday, I woke up with a start and felt something strange, like something had just been watching me.
I turned on the light but I was alone.
He revealed:
I downloaded an app that takes a photo every 60 seconds and set my phone on top of a bookcase (it’s almost 7 feet tall, so it had a pretty good view of my bed and the surrounding room).
Then I went to sleep.
And then it all got really weird:
The next tweet Adam wrote says:
But then, in the next photo, he’s gone.
The room it totally empty again. He’s gone in the next several photos, too.
I figured maybe that was it, but I kept swiping through the photos.
Adam said:
That’s when my heart started to race. I didn’t want to look at the rest of the photos, but I knew I had to.
I swiped to the next photo and my heart sank into my stomach.
Here’s what he saw:
Adam then finished off his thread with a tweet saying he was speechless, writing:
I’m at a loss for words. That malformed ear, that stringy hair. I didn’t even know what to think.
I looked all over my room but couldn’t find anything and honestly, I’ve been so exhausted I didn’t know how to process it?
Even now, all I wanna do is just go to sleep.
Hold up – he wants to go to sleep? Adam, get out of there.
