Thanks for stopping by and giving a listen. We're talking about Edgar Alan Poe and his death on this episode. Poe's death is still a mystery. There are several theories surrounding it including rabies. The circumstances leading up to his death are mysterious. How did he end up on the street in someone else's ragged clothes, unconscious? He was taken to the local hospital where he lingered for four days. Unfortunately, we can't rely on his attending physicians notes because of the lack of inconsistencies. The man's story changed in each telling. Not a good thing in a physician. After his death Poe has been sighted at several places in Baltimore, the Bronx and other places he visited. Poe has been known to get around in his afterlife.
