Twitter’s Dear David

Adam Ellis

Adam Ellis shared this disturbing encounter with a child ghost on his Twitter account back in 2017.

He first posted—

“My apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child, and he’s trying to kill me.”

He then followed this tweet up with an illustration, he drew after seeing this ghost sitting in a rocking chair at the foot of his bed.

He described what he saw—“he has a huge misshapen head that is dented on one side.”

This ghost then came to him in “a dream” and explained he had been killed when a bookshelf had fallen and crushed his head.

During this time, Adam’s cats began to act strangely. They sat at his front door, crouched down and sniffing at the bottom crack for four nights in a row. They refused to move.

Adam snapped several photos of the hallway at the entrance to his apartment. He used two different cameras, but despite this space was well lit, his photos came out pitch black.

One of his followers on twitter then took one of these photos and “brightened it.” This revealed a figure standing at Adam’s door.

Ellis had another dream where David “dragged him.” He woke up the next morning with a bad bruise on his arm. At this same time, he began to receive strange phone calls, multiple times a day that didn’t show up on his Caller ID.

When he answered a weak voice would say, “hello.”

Adam now concerned, set up a video camera in his apartment. His first recording captured his green rocking chair moving on its own. This link is to Ellis's twitter account where you can view this chair moving.

Ellis began to see this ghost child standing on his roof. He snapped several photos, but the figure moved too quickly. But he finally captured the image he saw.

Adam set up another video to record while he slept. He then captured the most disturbing image of all. This recording shows the ghost running over his bed, and then it ducks down by the side of the bed, only to pop up and then duck down again.

Here is a link to a twitter feed that still has a gif of this video.

The Roommate

When Brien Sykes a 35-year-old massage therapist moved into his Burien, Washington apartment dealing with an unwanted roommate was the last thing on his mind.

The building that housed his new home was built in the 1940s. The first odd activity that Sykes noticed involved his cat, Sam.

When Sykes left for work he always locked his cat into his apartment but within weeks of moving in he would return home to find his cat outside.

Perplexed as to how his cat managed to get outside Sykes started to put barriers at his door and made sure the apartment’s windows were shut tight.

But when he returned home he found these barriers undisturbed and he continued to find Sam outside waiting for him.

He then began to shut his cat in his bathroom with he left but every time he came home he found him outside the apartment building.

It dawned on him something otherworldly was occurring. With the onset of strange noises and items being moved Skye concluded he must be living with a ghost.

Several months after he moved in, he had several friends from work over. As they sat talking they all heard footsteps heading down the hallway to his apartment’s door.

When Sykes went to greet the new arrival no one was there. He reluctantly admitted to his friends that the apartment was haunted and what they heard was probably his ghostly roommate.

He went on to explain that he was not afraid because he never felt threatened. One reason was because the ghost liked to do housework.

If he left his bed unmade he would return to find it made. If he fell asleep with dirty dishes in the sink he would find them in the morning washed, dried and put away.

Sykes was so comfortable with his unusual roommate when he moved to a new apartment he invited the ghost to come with him.

But this didn’t happen and he now complains he has to do his own dishes.
