Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site hauntings

The Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site occupies Poe's former home where he lived from 1838–1839 at 532 N 7th St. The house is a frequent stop on Philadelphia ghost tours and has been the subject of local reports and folklore about unexplained sounds and apparitions tied to Poe's presence. Paranormal investigators and tour operators include the site in storytelling about literary hauntings, though such accounts are part of tradition and are not scientifically verified.
