Adam Ellis believed that something is in his apartment.
He calls the “thing” as Dear David.
From dreams to videos, Dear David is haunting Adam Ellis.

If you feel that something is watching you, most probably because someone is. That is what Adam Ellis experienced in his apartment.
The Unseen Thing
This is something that will make you up all night. Ellis claimed that he is being haunted by a dead child that he named “Dear David.” Plus, Ellis is documenting everything on Twitter.
So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he’s trying to kill me. (thread)

Ellis is known for his hilarious comic strip on Buzzfeed. But, this time, his post is a scary one. Be careful, you might not be able to sleep this time.
He started appearing in dreams, but I think he’s crossed over into the real world now.

He had a huge misshapen head that was dented on one side. I did my best to draw it: pic.twitter.com/AJizlw7qXe
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
For a while he just stared at me, but then he got out of the chair and started shambling toward the bed.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
If you feel you cannot sleep, we feel that as well.
Right before he reached my bed, I woke up screaming.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
I was like, “Who?” And she said, “Dear David. You saw him.”
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
Then she added, “But never try to ask him a third question, or he’ll kill you.”
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
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
I’m frozen with fear. I ask, “Who pushed the shelf?” David doesn’t answer.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) 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 Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
Even his cats can sense it.
I even try different names—Daniel, Dylan, Devon. Nothing. A few weeks go by without incident.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) 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 Ellis (@moby_dickhead) 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 Ellis (@moby_dickhead) 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 Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 7, 2017
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
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
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 9, 2017
What is going on? pic.twitter.com/30mLSqYhXo
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 9, 2017
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

Most of them are pretty vague. A couple them are passing cars and the like, but there are three that I’m interested in.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 11, 2017
The first is a snapping sound & what seems like a single step. It's odd because I didn't get out of bed all night. https://t.co/j3Inwh4Sx0
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 11, 2017
There is also a spooky recording.
This one is weird because out of 33 recordings, this is the ONLY one that has that strange electric sound throughout https://t.co/2bQqU0yMYX
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 11, 2017
These happened between 2-3 AM. I have no explanation for them. I’ll keep recording and share if I find anything curious.

Getting the eff outta my haunted apartment for the weekend ✌🏻👻 pic.twitter.com/30Tk4Xzmm9
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 12, 2017
Things are getting scarier.
I bought a Polaroid camera this weekend, because they’re fun and dorky. I decided to take a few photos around my apartment. pic.twitter.com/NGHLzI8wQR
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 14, 2017
A couple people have pointed this out, which I don’t have a real explanation for. pic.twitter.com/1rI5aktw9a
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 17, 2017
To stop it, he tried to use sage.
Folks have been urging me to get some sage, so did. pic.twitter.com/NfUL9Z0Xxf
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 15, 2017
Saging the hall, and definitely saging the hell out of this rocking chair. pic.twitter.com/rMrRaBlOaE
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 15, 2017
He thought everything will stop.
I haven’t dreamed about David in a few months, but he appeared again last night.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 15, 2017
In the dream, my bedroom was filled with hazy smoke, but I could see David sitting in the chair across the room.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 15, 2017
Anyway, it feels like a bad omen.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 15, 2017
I’m not sure why I didn’t fight back in the dream, or how he was strong enough to pull me, but that’s dream logic for you.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 21, 2017
He ended up with a huge bruise.
I’d woken up with a huge bruise on my arm. pic.twitter.com/EakFRwX2iW
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 21, 2017
There could be a totally logical explanation for it, so I brushed it off. I went to get coffee, which I do every weekend.

His neighbor is gone but something is still there..
I’ve lived in the neighborhood for over 4 years, and the place has always been jam-packed with carts getting serviced.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 21, 2017
But today, it was completely abandoned. The whole warehouse was totally gutted and empty. pic.twitter.com/zP1ZnWvrL9
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 21, 2017
Basically the only thing in the entire warehouse was a single green chair. pic.twitter.com/lvZGsGXQN6
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 21, 2017
If you recall, David first appeared in my green rocking chair. It could be nothing, but it’s weird that it was the only thing left behind.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 21, 2017
Now even his phone was spooked.
My entire call history for the past week looks like this. You’ll notice that I answered once, yesterday. pic.twitter.com/nozoMffWHs
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
Since this has been happening for days on end, I thought it might be an automated telemarketer or something.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
After about a minute, the static stopped, and there was silence.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
Then, just as I was about to hang up, I heard a very small voice whisper, “hello.”
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
Just, “hello.” A flat statement. So quiet I could barely hear it.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
He can’t sleep now.
I watched TV until dawn because I was too scared to go to sleep. I sort of feel like I’m losing my mind.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
But after three weeks of weird shit happening, I don’t know how to make sense of it all.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
The Green Chair
The only thing I feel like I can do right now is write everything down. So that’s what I’m doing. And that’s what I’ll keep doing.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 26, 2017
So, I moved the green chair out of the bedroom weeks ago. It’s been in various parts of the living room ever since. (thread) pic.twitter.com/aqq5RTjiRj
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
Anyway, last week I bough a pet monitoring camera so I can keep an eye on the cats while I’m overseas.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
It also alerts you to sound and movement via an app. (I blacked out the company, since I doubt they want to be associated with ghosts) pic.twitter.com/sp4ZwFHDp6
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
My phone pinged periodically through the evening, alerting me to the cats running around and playing. Normal stuff.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
So I watched the feed again. Still nothing. I watched it a third time, and finally noticed something.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
Watch the chair. pic.twitter.com/jXtIxpkVxD
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
Here’s the feed of that alert. pic.twitter.com/6FHmUyIRBx
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
Wait, wtf. Someone just pointed out that one of the blue chair in the background disappears in the second video. pic.twitter.com/mhlslwwzlV
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
I just went and checked and the blue chair is back where it’s supposed to be? pic.twitter.com/8Z1R14ipiG
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) August 29, 2017
Away on a Trip
Ellis is away on a three week trip to Japan. Everything seems to be well until he realized it’s happening again.
It’s happening again. (thread)
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
I’ve been leaving the nanny cam on 24/7. It records every time there’s movement or sound, as you know.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
During the night on Saturday, while I slept, it recorded the cats in the living room. It seemed pretty unremarkable at first.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
But then, after a few moments, Maxwell freaks out and jumps over something invisible. pic.twitter.com/DIl1O34vPY
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
What’s more, I almost never get bugs. I’ve seen maybe 3 in all the years I’ve lived here.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
Specifically, it recorded Maxwell doing this on and off for hours. pic.twitter.com/bTUKy64d5g
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
This is odd behavior for him, and I can’t come up with an explanation for it. Especially because of the next video.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
Here’s the final video the camera recorded that night. pic.twitter.com/wZjZr9hgWA
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
I just can’t shake the feeling that something has made its way into the apartment.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
It’s odd behavior from Maxwell, in any event. Things feel off this week. I can’t explain it.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 6, 2017
What do you think Ellis should do? Should he go on call the Ghostbusters now?
