This week on Ghost Bites, Mike and J.T. dim the lights and light a single candle as they explore the life, mysterious death, and enduring ghostly legacy of master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe! From his tales of raven-haunted chambers and premature burials to his own tragic and perplexing demise, Poe's life was arguably as dark and twisted as his fiction. Join us as we delve into the haunting whispers surrounding his final days, the spectral sightings reported at his various residences, and wonder if the man who perfected dread might still be lurking in the shadows, looking for inspiration, or perhaps just a really good editor.
