Man haunted by 'demon child ghost' captures chilling images

A flat owner claiming to be haunted by a 'ghost' he calls Dear David has shared an image of what he says is a demonic child staring at him in his bedroom.

Adam Ellis, of New York, says he is haunted by the ghost of a dead child who is trying to kill him.

The demon child apparently began appearing to him in dreams, with a misshapen, shrunken head coming to him whenever he fell asleep.

After sharing footage of the supposed hauntings online in August, Adam quickly went viral, the MailOnline reported.

Still alive, three months later, he has shared his spookiest snap yet of the specter sitting in his bedroom staring at him.

"Last night I dreamed about him again. It was almost exactly the same as the first time I saw him," told The Sun.

The demon child is said to have slithered over to him from his chair while Adam was paralysed on the bed unable to move.

So trying to prove the evil being was real, he began taking pictures on his phone of the demon.

"I thought, 'If David is going to kill me, maybe I can at least get evidence on my phone'. I started snapping pictures in the dark," he said.

The demon is then said to have crawled down off the chair and started shuffling towards him menacingly.

Eventually it was face to face with him muttering in his ear before writhing away.

When Adam woke up he let out a sign of relief - until checking his phone and realising the pictures were real.

Chilling snaps appear to show a child-like figure sitting in a chair staring back at the camera - just as Adam described in his dreams.
