My research, conducted independently for more than a decade, suggests that Poe was not the original author of "The Raven." He claimed authorship as a brazen public scam. So this is one of his crimes that, so far, I seem to have been the only person to discover. I believe the real author of "The Raven" was Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier, who wrote it from a real-life incident nine months after the death of his wife, Abby.

Interesting hypothesis. 🤔
