We need to talk about something extremely serious: a haunted cartoonist.

In case you live under a rock or just stepped out of a time machine, I'm talking about Adam Ellis, a freelance comic artist who managed to piss off a ghost that was somehow, for some reason, lurking in his apartment.

According to Adam, who has been documenting the entire fiasco (debacle, ordeal, experience, etc.) on his Twitter account, it all began with some dreams.

(The entire story starts here.)

Basically, Adam has sleep paralysis - which, if you've never experienced it, thank your lucky stars because it's terrifying - and it causes him to dream very vividly. In one of these dreams, he sees a boy with a "huge, misshapen head" just chillin' in his room with him, sitting in a green rocking chair. But after a while, he gets up and starts to move toward Adam, which would definitely be enough to make me wake up screaming, so I understand why he did.

The next night, Adam dreamt he met a little girl in a library, and she explains Dear David's origin and that you can ask him a question if you start by saying "Dear David".

"But never ask more than two," the little girl warned, "or he'll kill you."

Not a hard rule to follow. Simple. Two questions. I think we can all agree that "two" is pretty indisputable.

SO WHY THEN DID ADAM ASK THIS DENTED GHOST THREE QUESTIONS IN HIS NEXT DREAM?!

Who knows. Adam says he wasn't thinking until after he asked the third question and woke up utterly terrified.

The story only gets more terrifying from there and includes spooked cats, random unidentified phone calls, weird camera glitches, a statue in Japan, and that same green rocking chair. Adam keeps us updated as often as he can and whenever something new happens.

Lots of people have written about Adam and Dear David. Most are just giving play-by-plays of what he's tweeted so far, but there are lots of articles out there asking the question: is Dear David a little too neat? That might be, but if any of this stuff were happening to me, I would've hightailed it out of that apartment months ago.

Adam has tried sage, cleansing the apartment somehow, and has apparently received dozens of calls from mediums and ghost hunter-esque shows. But he says he doesn't want to "over-sensationalize" the situation. Someone said to me the other day: "If your apartment was actually, genuinely haunted, you'd invite them all in at once for a party." and I kind of have to agree with her.

Regardless of what you believe about whether or not this is true, the responses people are posting on Adam's tweets are comedy gold. People are forming theories and debating left, right and center. If you don't believe him, at least go check out some of the responses people have tweeted. Adam often goes days at a time without tweeting and those following his threads regularly @ him to see if he's still alive.

With Halloween right around the corner, the whole story is only gaining more traction. It's spreading around the Internet like wildfire and the more I hear people talk about it, the better it gets.

Good luck, Adam. Hope David doesn't get you!
