Edgar Allan Poe loved cats, he had a cat named Catterina that would sit on his shoulder when he wrote, and slept on his wifes chest to keep her company. After he died they went to his home and found that his cat also died. (But probably just from lack of food yikes) Also, at the Poe museum, there are 2 cats, Edgar and Pluto. Edit: I'm very annoying but here's some more facts: 1. Some people think that Poe and Virginia's relationship was more platonic that romantic 2. Poe's rival, Rufus Griswold, wrote an awful obituary for him in which he said Poe's death “will startle many, but few will be grieved by it” 3. come on leave him alone he wasn't that gross and creepy, just a very sad man (other than the Virgina thing lol) but he constantly tried to escape the horrors of his life, he just never could 4. He actually wasn't very famous or successful during his lifetime so people probably wouldn't have recognized him 5. ok sorry I get this is very annoying I just think people should know more about him
I know this is from a year ago, but I feel the need to let everyone know that it is believed that Poe only married his cousin to save her from being married off to an abuser
It was normal back then to marry before 18. In India too where I was raised, people used to marry when they were 13 years old. Like a 13 yr old boy marrying 12 year old girl. It was common back then. Sometimes in villages and rural areas in India this tradition still continues.
*Shane looks like a depressed history teacher, but like the kind of depressed history teacher that is actually your favorite teacher because they make history fun* .
@@katherineamelia98he arguably spent more time in Richmond and that’s where he considered home, so people would say he’s from there. He was born in Boston, so you could argue he’s from there too. I’m sure if he died somewhere else, that’s where people would say he’s “from”. Balitmore’s only true claim is that he’s buried there, which is reason enough.
Post Mortem: Just to point out, it is heavily debated over the nature of poe and virginia's relationship. she was in an abusive situation, its thought that poe married her to have a reason to get her out of it, as he did not have the money or status to take custody. she also was a writer in her own right and poe did his best to support her. from both of their writings, it is concluded they never "consummated the marriage", and virginia died a virgin. the supposed scandalous relationship was a theory heavily pushed by the brother in laws and family that believed poe was hiding money from them.
The relationship between Poe and Virginia has been reported as platonic and never consummated. There are also accounts that he married her to spare her from an arranged marriage that her parents were making. He was such an interesting guy.
Fun fact: Elmira actually had no choice, Edgar promised her he would write to her while he was away, and he stayed true to his word but Elmira's father hid the letters from her and then later forced her into an arranged marriage, #postmortem
hmm, this might reflect in some of his poems and stories. like Bridal Ballad. It's about a girl who had a man she loved but is forced to marry another. and despairs about it.
That’s how it is with artists ; whether they were painters , writers or poets . They only get the recognition they deserve after its too late and never getting the chance to enjoy it .
Did you boys know that Edgar Allan Poe’s house here in Richmond, Virginia is reportedly very haunted by his ghost. Perhaps there could be a sequel in the supernatural season? Hmmm?

Pumpkin God some people aren’t affected by tuberculosis. They just carry it. All his wives (and his parents) died from tuberculosis. I think his godmother did too. So i think when his parents died he was infected and became a carrier. So all the people he was around long enough died but he lived.

There's actually a story in my family that one of our great great great uncles, who lived in Baltimore at the time, helped a pale man from a ditch and to the local hospital a couple nights before Poe died. Apparently he was incredibly unwell looking hense the idea of bringing him to the hospital, it was thought by the uncle's daughter that that man was Poe and she wrote it in one of her schoolbooks that we still have from her.
That is very interesting. It would be even more interesting if you might consider sharing a copy of this letter or book that you have with the Pratt Library in Baltimore Maryland. The Pratt Library is the keeper and conservator of a few items taken from po at the time of his death these few remaining artifacts are kept under lock and key in a vault in the museum. If you contact them the library Museum just might be interested in what you have to share with them. They may even want to analyze it and look over whatever material your family currently still possesses.
Now, people often think of Poe as this brooding, mysterious figure. But did you know he was also a master of disguise? Yeah, apparently, he used to dress up and go to different taverns just to mess with people. I gotta say, that takes commitment. Imagine spending hours putting on a fake mustache just to creep people out. That's some next-level dedication to the craft.
That would be so interesting to read. Joseph Walker found him, and he, Henry Herring, and Dr. Snodgrass took him to the hospital. You should do a dive into your family history and see who it is that you’re related to!
For postmortem: Just thought you guys would like to know that there’s an unknown person who leaves a rose in the gutter where he was found every year on his birthday. No one has ever seen who it was.
Does anyone else love it when Ryan is narrating in an official, calm tone and casually throws in flowing phrases like “and, since his dad was a tightwad,” and “even ‘grosslier,’ she was his cousin” bc that’s the sudden and uncommented-upon informality I signed up for
ok no one is going to see this comment but they didn’t tell the whole story of Elmira. She never cheated on him on purpose. they were engaged before poe went to college and agreed to write letters to each other. But Elmira’s father disapproved of the engagement and intercepted and destroyed all the letters. Elmira thought that Poe had forgot about her and married Shelton and had children . After Shelton died she met up again with poe, who had recently lost Virginia . They got engaged again, but poe died. She did not mean to cheat on him. I’m sorry I went on this rant I have a lot of feelings about Elmira
@Think About it. I was thinking the same thing. It was a completely different time period and the further in time we go back the more common it was lol.
I remember several years ago, watching a documentary on Poe, where they assembled a small team of physicians, of various disciplines, to try to come to some determination as to what actually happened to cause Poe's death. I don't remember if this documentary was on television or online. They gathered all the known information of Poe's personal medical history, his family's medical history, his living conditions, his work conditions, and even examined a collection of photos of Poe. If I remember correctly, they determined that it was a sort of "perfect storm" of a number of things. 1. They determined that he suffered from Macrocephaly. That is why his head was as big as it was. 2. They also went into discussion as to why his eyes were so sunken and dark. They attributed it to a symptom of breathing in too much fumes from the burning of coal oil (I'm not sure if they came up with a name for the condition). All buildings at that time used coal oil lamps to provide indoor lighting. There were other symptoms and diagnoses, but I can't remember what they were. Bottomline, they stated that it was a number of things that killed him .... Not just one thing. I wish I could find that video!
Jessica Church 😂 nah. It's a running gag with him. He's deathly afraid of someone randomly injecting him with heroin, this has come up many times in the past
Whenever I hear about an author who became famous after their death I get so sad...they might have thought they were a failure and then never know how much their work actually impacted people
Its like that episode of doctor who when they take Vincent van Gogh from the past and take him to one of his art exhibits in present day and he hears everyone praising his work and he sees how successful he became after death and he starts crying tears of joy, Vincent was also famous wayyy after his death. That episode was awsome, the clip of it is on RUclips
It was normal back then to marry before 18. In India too where I was raised, people used to marry when they were 13 years old. Like a 13 yr old boy marrying 12 year old girl. It was common back then. Sometimes in villages and rural areas in India this tradition still continues. Yeah but a 27 yr old marrying someone half his age is pretty disturbing.
@@GeekRaj if it was common back then, then it's fine. But when we read about something like this today, even if it was from way back when, we can't help but feel disgusted.
The temperance movement was actually pretty largely made up of women who feared alcohol's effects on their husbands and fathers. Alcoholism in a loved one is obviously terrible on its own, but it was especially bad back then because women and their children were so legally and financially dependent on these men. It's actually super sad
You also have to consider the cleanliness and quality of the alcohol being served at the time. It's not like a lot of government oversight existed which was part of the reason families feared its effects.
Thanks, I was hoping someone else would have pointed this out. The temperance movement was very much an anti domestic violence movement. They thought that banning alcohol was a way to prevent husbands from beating their wives and children. It's also strongly linked to women's suffrage. People believed that getting the right to vote would allow women to vote for prohibition.
@@isaiahcollins6470 Yeah, properly made stuff might've been, but improperly prepared alcohol could (and still can, I guess) give you stuff like botulism or methanol poisoning, so that wasn't great
When he said "Poe found out that his fiance, (girl's name)..." I def heard "Beyonce" instead of "fiance" and I was like "okay yeah so his idol I guess, his queen" and my brain saw nothing amiss with that.
ғuňţċѧsє ţuċҡғѧяԀ he primarily lived in Baltimore which is why he associated with that city. I’ve actually been to his home there & it’s an eerie space. Visited his grave too & we had a brief reverence for him and left a small gift
Well he was born in Boston, but died in Baltimore. So I think that makes it even better considering he was a dark figure that wrote even darker stories.
Ryan: "ghosts appear in their house or where they died or-" Shane: "or wherever is convenient for the story. Got it." Is this also the trailer for the next season of Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural?
Okay but if it makes anyone feel better, Poe and his wife/cousin never actually consummated the marriage. Based on records from him and other family members, it was more of a companionship thing.
Maya S yup that’s true. He was adopted into my family. He was actually pretty conflicted about his relationship with her, as he was extremely close with her but also was in live with her. In the end however he mostly committed to a close friendship with her rather than loving her.
I feel like the story of Edgar Allen Poe's wife is so twisted to fit his "messed up suffering artist/writer" narrative when in reality, she was his cousin/niece (I can't quite remember) whose parents died of TB when she was 12 which put her in a very awkward position of either 1) being sent to a monastery to live out her days 2) marrying some strange suitor she didn't know or 3) going to a monastery for a few years only to be thrown out onto the streets as an orphan. Poe, as her uncle, was unable and couldn't afford to legally take her in as a child but he COULD marry her preventing her from all of those fates and at the very least she was with family. Is it a fucked up system? Yeah. But It's definitely not Edgar Allen Poe who messed with that, he did the best he could for the little family he had left. Was there a relationship? Muuch later, but not initially. Still messed up but not nearly as much as the initial glance suggests.
#postmortem (since so many insisted I tag it!) Poe married his cousin purely so that she wouldn't be homeless. After her husband died, she was on the grounds of losing her house and everything she owned unless she could be remarried. This was because the law stated that women weren't allowed to own anything; it had to be under the property of their husband. If the man died, the woman was actually considered part of his property. To save her from being married to someone wanting to take advantage of her and the property, Poe agrees to enter into civil marriage with her. This was apparently more common for the time than one would think, but still a little weird. We can only trust Edgar's word that there was never anything sexual or romantic about their relationship. Poe writes that he only had platonic love for Virginia, and even called her "sis" because she held the role of a sister to him. This was the reason he was so heartbroken when she died. It was very akin to the same grief he experienced when he lost his parents.
Elaine P this was also (apparently) part of the reason some Mormons had so many wives, more as a favor than anything related to attraction. At least so I’ve been told.
if you plan it out it could say whatever you want, there’s a scavenger hunt planned for my friends. “how do we know it’s real?” me: “only one way to find out”
"Poe was 27 and Virginia was 13" While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis the FBI” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door- Only this and nothing more.”
Also it’s not Rapping if your implying a Hell based drop off it would be rappelling. Also that’s more of the S.W.A.T teams thing, FBI do something’s do things, but for the most part when law enforcement bursts down your door it’s a S.W.A.T team, their also they guys who use tear gas and Shields. FBI normally don’t have the same gear S.W.A.T teams do, the most armor a FBI member would have is a Kevlar vest. Nothing that really could count as armor anywhere else on them.

Lucky Lex Well it's also a combination of serious gross and illegal things: pedophilia and incest. We shouldn't have that, but somehow anime encourages it.
I love how Ryan says that ghosts usually haunt places they died not necessarily where they were buried. I feel like graves are actually the least haunted places there are, unless u died where ur buried. Or the spirit goes to places or things they are most attached too

Interesting Poe Fact: The most important women in his life (biological mother, adoptive mother, and wife) all died of tuberculosis! edit: thank y’all for the likes and very fun comments! love the unsolved community!!
For the Postmortem: just a fun little comment on the Baltimore Ravens connection to Poe, not only is the team named after Poe’s poem, “The Raven”, the Baltimore Ravens mascot is also named Poe. 😈😈
'Easy come, easy Poe, will they let him go? Eureka! Will not let him go. Will not let him go oh Figaro, Poe, poe, poe, poe, poe. Oh Leonora!, Leonora! ...' or something. 😎
I mean Hozier’s songs are pretty dark but I hear he’s a chill dude. But yeah, it’s pretty well-known that Poe did not have the most stable of mindsets.
@@Mastergeeka i meaaaan, i do agree that people can write dark stuff without being tortured because fiction is fiction is fiction, BUT Hozier's darkness it's different to anything Poe style 😅 (obvs imo)
As a Baltimore native, The Ravens are 100% named after the poem and our mascot's name is Poe. Also, Poe's grave is now marked and a huge tourist spot at Westminster Burying Grounds - one of my all time favorite places in the whole city.
i’ve been binge watching these guy is videos. like a video popped up on my recommendation out of nowhere and then i just became obsessed like there’s always a video recommended
I'm new to this series, but I can't believe you don't talk about the super secret people who leave things on his grave in the same fashion, same disguise, same time every year and despite multiple efforts have never been caught
@@jamiel6005 Yeah I can't remember all the specifics about it know, but there's like a secret society of sorts that leave gifts on Poe's grave on I think his birthday. People have tried to catch them on camera and person and nobody knows who does it or how.
@@gothicfairy2407 Maybe it’s just a bunch of gothic enthusiasts with a flair for the dramatic? That seems like something goths would do just for the aesthetic of it 😂
Make sure to leave your questions for our Post Mortem episode down below!
Why?
Edgar Allan Poe loved cats, he had a cat named Catterina that would sit on his shoulder when he wrote, and slept on his wifes chest to keep her company. After he died they went to his home and found that his cat also died. (But probably just from lack of food yikes) Also, at the Poe museum, there are 2 cats, Edgar and Pluto.
Edit:
I'm very annoying but here's some more facts:
1. Some people think that Poe and Virginia's relationship was more platonic that romantic
2. Poe's rival, Rufus Griswold, wrote an awful obituary for him in which he said Poe's death “will startle many, but few will be grieved by it”
3. come on leave him alone he wasn't that gross and creepy, just a very sad man (other than the Virgina thing lol) but he constantly tried to escape the horrors of his life, he just never could
4. He actually wasn't very famous or successful during his lifetime so people probably wouldn't have recognized him
5. ok sorry I get this is very annoying I just think people should know more about him

That would be so interesting to read. Joseph Walker found him, and he, Henry Herring, and Dr. Snodgrass took him to the hospital. You should do a dive into your family history and see who it is that you’re related to!

ok no one is going to see this comment but they didn’t tell the whole story of Elmira. She never cheated on him on purpose. they were engaged before poe went to college and agreed to write letters to each other. But Elmira’s father disapproved of the engagement and intercepted and destroyed all the letters. Elmira thought that Poe had forgot about her and married Shelton and had children . After Shelton died she met up again with poe, who had recently lost Virginia . They got engaged again, but poe died. She did not mean to cheat on him. I’m sorry I went on this rant I have a lot of feelings about Elmira

😂😂😂
@Think About it. I was thinking the same thing. It was a completely different time period and the further in time we go back the more common it was lol.
I remember several years ago, watching a documentary on Poe, where they assembled a small team of physicians, of various disciplines, to try to come to some determination as to what actually happened to cause Poe's death. I don't remember if this documentary was on television or online. They gathered all the known information of Poe's personal medical history, his family's medical history, his living conditions, his work conditions, and even examined a collection of photos of Poe. If I remember correctly, they determined that it was a sort of "perfect storm" of a number of things.
1. They determined that he suffered from Macrocephaly. That is why his head was as big as it was.
2. They also went into discussion as to why his eyes were so sunken and dark. They attributed it to a symptom of breathing in too much fumes from the burning of coal oil (I'm not sure if they came up with a name for the condition). All buildings at that time used coal oil lamps to provide indoor lighting.
There were other symptoms and diagnoses, but I can't remember what they were. Bottomline, they stated that it was a number of things that killed him .... Not just one thing. I wish I could find that video!

Yeah marrying a 13 year old at 27 wasn’t looked at kindly back then either
12:12 lol shane said that not ryan
I was looking for this comment, yeah marrying your child cousin was definitely Not the norm in 1830s Virginia
It's being looked at too kindly now or ever! That girl had only just started going through puberty.
It was normal back then to marry before 18. In India too where I was raised, people used to marry when they were 13 years old. Like a 13 yr old boy marrying 12 year old girl. It was common back then. Sometimes in villages and rural areas in India this tradition still continues. Yeah but a 27 yr old marrying someone half his age is pretty disturbing.
@@GeekRaj if it was common back then, then it's fine. But when we read about something like this today, even if it was from way back when, we can't help but feel disgusted.
The temperance movement was actually pretty largely made up of women who feared alcohol's effects on their husbands and fathers. Alcoholism in a loved one is obviously terrible on its own, but it was especially bad back then because women and their children were so legally and financially dependent on these men. It's actually super sad
You also have to consider the cleanliness and quality of the alcohol being served at the time. It's not like a lot of government oversight existed which was part of the reason families feared its effects.
Thanks, I was hoping someone else would have pointed this out. The temperance movement was very much an anti domestic violence movement. They thought that banning alcohol was a way to prevent husbands from beating their wives and children.
It's also strongly linked to women's suffrage. People believed that getting the right to vote would allow women to vote for prohibition.
@@Kiki-cs8xv you're so right thank you for pointing that out
Steven Moore alcohol was literally safer than some water
@@isaiahcollins6470 Yeah, properly made stuff might've been, but improperly prepared alcohol could (and still can, I guess) give you stuff like botulism or methanol poisoning, so that wasn't great

Okay but if it makes anyone feel better, Poe and his wife/cousin never actually consummated the marriage. Based on records from him and other family members, it was more of a companionship thing.
Maya S yup that’s true. He was adopted into my family. He was actually pretty conflicted about his relationship with her, as he was extremely close with her but also was in live with her. In the end however he mostly committed to a close friendship with her rather than loving her.
it does make me feel a little bit better
Somebody needs to tell Shane this!!
#postmortem
That does make me feel better. Shoutout to shane for wholeheartedly condemning it anyway
I feel like the story of Edgar Allen Poe's wife is so twisted to fit his "messed up suffering artist/writer" narrative when in reality, she was his cousin/niece (I can't quite remember) whose parents died of TB when she was 12 which put her in a very awkward position of either 1) being sent to a monastery to live out her days 2) marrying some strange suitor she didn't know or 3) going to a monastery for a few years only to be thrown out onto the streets as an orphan. Poe, as her uncle, was unable and couldn't afford to legally take her in as a child but he COULD marry her preventing her from all of those fates and at the very least she was with family. Is it a fucked up system? Yeah. But It's definitely not Edgar Allen Poe who messed with that, he did the best he could for the little family he had left. Was there a relationship? Muuch later, but not initially. Still messed up but not nearly as much as the initial glance suggests.

Their pinned comment begs to differ, Sam.
#postmortem (since so many insisted I tag it!)
Poe married his cousin purely so that she wouldn't be homeless. After her husband died, she was on the grounds of losing her house and everything she owned unless she could be remarried. This was because the law stated that women weren't allowed to own anything; it had to be under the property of their husband. If the man died, the woman was actually considered part of his property. To save her from being married to someone wanting to take advantage of her and the property, Poe agrees to enter into civil marriage with her. This was apparently more common for the time than one would think, but still a little weird. We can only trust Edgar's word that there was never anything sexual or romantic about their relationship. Poe writes that he only had platonic love for Virginia, and even called her "sis" because she held the role of a sister to him. This was the reason he was so heartbroken when she died. It was very akin to the same grief he experienced when he lost his parents.
Thanks for the information, that’s really interesting! But according to that she was already married before 13?
Crazy Catnip oh dear...
Elaine P this was also (apparently) part of the reason some Mormons had so many wives, more as a favor than anything related to attraction. At least so I’ve been told.

Also it’s not Rapping if your implying a Hell based drop off it would be rappelling.
Also that’s more of the S.W.A.T teams thing, FBI do something’s do things, but for the most part when law enforcement bursts down your door it’s a S.W.A.T team, their also they guys who use tear gas and Shields. FBI normally don’t have the same gear S.W.A.T teams do, the most armor a FBI member would have is a Kevlar vest. Nothing that really could count as armor anywhere else on them.
