"I posted the initial story to Twitter just because I thought it was interesting. I never thought it would go viral. . . Now I feel like I have an obligation to keep updating because people are so invested in it," Ellis told Boston Globe in an email.
To the uninitiated, "Dear David" is Ellis' own personal encounter with what is now believed to be a ghost of a little boy in his dream. In another dream, Ellis encountered a little girl asking him about the boy and later told him that his name is Dear David and that he would only answer his questions if he begins with "Dear David." However, the girl, supposedly, cautioned Ellis not to ask more than two questions, otherwise, the little boy would kill him.
In his next encounter with the boy in his dream, Ellis just did what the little girl in his other dream told her to do. Starting his question with the phrase "Dear David," Ellis asked Dear David asked how he died, to which he, allegedly, replied "an accident in a store." When Ellis asked Dear David his second question, asking him what exactly happened in the store, the ghost replied somebody pushed a shelf on his head.
However, when Ellis asked Dear David who pushed the shelf, and the boy kept quiet, it was then he realized that he has asked a third question, leaving him terrified when he woke up.
Ellis now believes that the ghost has crossed over to the real world as he feels supernatural presence now and then, such as his cats gathering at the door every midnight and dealing with something invisible, and his rocking chair moving without somebody sitting on it as captured on video.
