For the second year in a row, Poe's midnight visitor didn't show. For many, many years, someone dressed in black left roses and a half bottle of Cognac on Edgar Allan Poe's grave in Baltimore. I loved the mystery and that the tradition was carried on for so long.  I'm a little nostalgic if this is the end of an era.

Here are some links to more information on Poe's visitor.

I've never been to Poe's grave in Baltimore. (His mother's grave is here in Richmond at St. John's Church.)
