Poe Cottage - Edgar Allan Poe's home and haunting stories

Edgar Allan Poe lived in what is now called Poe Cottage from 1846 to 1849; the modest house is preserved as a museum in the Bronx and is a documented literary historic site. Over time visitors and staff have recounted stories of cold spots, apparitions, or strange sounds associated with Poe's presence, which have entered the museum's lore. Those reports are anecdotal and remain unverified.
