Just saw the Edgar Allen Poe house in Baltimore.

Guy takes the train from Virginia to New York, but has to make a transfer in Baltimore.

Never gets on his train. Shows up a week later on Lombard Sreet looking like a vagabond, completely delirious, and wearing clothes that aren't his.

Taken to a hospital, seems to recover, but relapses and dies within four days of admission.

Pastor at the funeral skips the sermon because almost nobody came. And the train carrying his tombstone crashed and destroyed it.

Yeesh.

Wasn't he haunted by his sisters death?

And then later his wife and daughter died of tuberculosis? Didn't he have them all buried in the same plot outside his house? Dude was fucked up.

Poe died in Baltimore on October 7, 1849, at age 40; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.[3]


Maybe he sold his soul to the devil for fame and that is why his wife died and all the other bad things

I mean...its not lol. But there are some wild theories about how he ended up in that condition.

sounds like he was a srunk or druggie


Apparently alcoholism is his "official" cause of death.

That's the impression I got. We got there a half hour before closing, but the house was super tiny and we got through it quick. But yeah, he outlived her by a few years.

Unrelated to Poe, but another spooky death related story...

In the 1980s two kids tried to commit suicide after listening to a Judas Priest record. One died, the other was disfigured but lived. The survivor had one remaining tooth (this was a shotgun blast to the face). The family accused the band of putting subliminals in a song and that it triggered the suicide. It turned out the song wasn't even a Judas Priest original, it was a cover song from a band named Spooky Tooth.
