Manuel Bartual Thread a big hit on social media

Manuel Bartual has become a Twitter sensation with the disturbing story of his vacation gone wrong gripping users who are hooked on his tale.

His Twitter thread began on August 21 with a relatively simple tweet which he put out.

"I've been on holiday for a couple of days, in a hotel near the beach," he posted. "It was all good until strange things began to happen."

Ando de vacaciones desde hace un par de días, en un hotel cerca de la playa. Iba todo bien hasta que han comenzado a suceder cosas raras. pic.twitter.com/6gd7Rqs6bL ? Manuel Bartual (@ManuelBartual) 21 de agosto de 2017

In just a few hours, the thread had gone viral and Bartual is releasing all of the things that are happening to him in 'real time'.

First he stated that a man entered his room while he was on the terrace. Then he found a pencil in the bathroom accompanied by a mysterious message.

Later, he claimed to have witnessed a man identical to himself eating breakfast downstairs wearing a t-shirt that he had lost and lingering around the hotel pool acting suspiciously.

Frightened by the events, he shortened his holiday and returned home but the mystery did not end there as his seat on the plane was already taken.

When he got home, his porter handed him a package that had supposedly been left by Bartual himself and which contained a disturbing warning.

"Do not write to anymore. Everything is fine," it read. "This ends tonight."

What will happen? Everything indicates that the story will conclude on Saturday night but the tale has struck such a chord that even stars like Gerard Pique and Iker Casillas are captivated by it.

As Barcelona are currently in Vitoria ahead of Saturday evening's game against Alves, Pique tweeted a picture of his room key, with the player being placed in room 329, beside Bartual's holiday room of 328.

"I was in the room next to you Manuel," Pique tweeted. "I saw you pass."

Casillas also joined in the fun with a number of posts and memes poking fun at the situation.
