Bone-chilling photos emerge of Dear David, the dead child allegedly haunting a man’s apartment

For the past several months, New York City-based illustrator Adam Allis has been documenting paranormal experiences in his apartment -- and the new "evidence" in question has left Twitter speechless.

The nightmare saga originated on Twitter back in August when Ellis began posting about encounters he had with "Dear David," a dead boy with a disfigured head that he alleges has been causing him all types of blood-curdling mayhem. A few months later, Ellis posted his first photo of the specter in November -- and that's when things appeared to take a turn for the worst.

On Tuesday, Ellis, who had been relatively quiet about David for a few weeks, took to Twitter with more chilling photos of his apartment -- and the ghost he claims resides there as well.

First, he explained that he hadn't been feeling well lately, which could be understandable given the circumstances.

"It was a feeling I'm used to — it always accompanies David. People tweet at me a lot saying he might just need help, but I'm certain that's not the case," Ellis tweeted.

But instead of making a dash in the other direction, Ellis chose to embrace his "palpable sense of malice" and set up a nanny cam to capture footage of David in his living room -- the same one he used to capture other footage that blew Twitter's mind last month.

Ellis said he used an app that takes a photo once a minute and also propped his phone on top of a bookcase to capture the apparition, but added that the first few photos weren't very good. "The vast majority of them were me sleeping in an empty room. It's sort of dark but you can see me sleeping," he wrote. "I'd left a couple night lights on just in case anything showed up, but for the first hundred or so photos it was just me in an empty room."

But that wasn't the case for long.

Here's the final photo in Ellis' thread, which appears to show the side of a little boy's face, his malformed ear and stringy hair.

The image, Ellis said, left him speechless.

"I'm at a loss for words," Ellis tweeted. "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."

Though some have been skeptical of Ellis' findings and claim they're simply part of some well-constructed hoax, one thing is for certain -- this "ghost" has got the internet's attention.
