If you haven’t been following, there’s a ghost story playing out on Twitter and people haven’t been this spooked since R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps.
Adam Ellis, a cartoonist and blogger based in New York, began posting in August about the ghost of a young boy named Dear David he’s convinced has been haunting him.
So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he's trying to kill me. (thread)

And the story took off from there, with Adam eventually installing nanny cams to capture the unexplained phenomena occurring in his apartment.

On September 5th Adam disappeared off Twitter leaving many to wonder what was going on. A week later he re-emerged with a disturbing update:
Every night before bed, I go through the same routine.

I feed the cats, brush my teeth, and lock every single one of the three locks on my door, because I'm paranoid.

Don't ask why my door has 3 different working locks, plus what looks like the remainder of a break-in. I'd prefer not to dwell on it. pic.twitter.com/8QlY4m79C1

Anyway, the other night I was getting ready for bed as normal. I went into the kitchen to get cat food.

I hadn't even gotten to the pantry when I heard a loud crack.

So what made the noise?
It's better to just watch the video, since the nannycam records everything now. pic.twitter.com/J7PpFviJmU

Creeeepy…
At first I thought maybe it was one of the cats who'd knocked it over, but they were both in the bedroom.

The thing that fell was this little knitted cactus in a terracotta planter. It's totally busted now. pic.twitter.com/F3aKYxWtmq

Maybe there’s a reasonable explanation?
I live right next to a subway line, and my whole house shifts and shakes every now and then, which could explain this?
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 12, 2017
I always get in my head making excuses for whatever's happening. I'm still skeptical.
— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) September 12, 2017
But now every little sound freaks me out. I leave for Japan in two weeks and it can't happen soon enough.

Can’t say we blame Adam for being freaked out but not gonna lie, kind of can’t wait to read about David’s next visit.
