My uncle passed away from a bravely fought battle with lymphoma this past Friday. He was and still is one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. It still feels like nightmare that I desperately want to wake up from. Instead of services/flowers, he wanted donations to made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Edgar Allan Poe is arguably one of the most influential Gothic writers of the last century. He has become a symbol of horror and mystery not only in his work, but also in his death. On October 3rd, 1849, he was found delirious and wandering the streets of Baltimore, Maryland. A witness from the time reported that Mr. Poe was “In great distress and in need of immediate medical assistance” although nobody was quite sure what was wrong with him. He was rushed to hospital where medics worked around the clock to find a solution to the author’s state. After a short stay in hospital, Edgar Allan Poe died at 5 a.m. on the 7th of October.
Many theories surround his mysterious death, although none can be proven. Suicide, murder, the flu, syphilis, even rabies are all likely explanations as to how Poe died. Many newspapers reported that he had died from an “inflammation of the brain” after rumours from hospital staff emerged. One particularly dark theory dating from 1872 suggests that cooping was the cause of Poe’s death, a form of electoral fraud in which citizens were forced to vote for a particular candidate, sometimes leading to violence and even murder. To this day, his death remains unsolved.
In the days leading up to the murders in 1920s Germany, a slew of strange happenings took place around the Hinterkaifeck farm. A maid quit, claiming the house was haunted. They noticed footprints in the snow around the house, footsteps in the attic, and even found a newspaper in the home that no one had purchased and keys going missing.
Not long after, neighbors noticed they hadn’t seen anyone from the family lately and went to check on them – only to find all of them dead. Most of them had been led to the barn and slaughtered there with some sort of axe, while the maid and youngest son were killed in their beds. The youngest daughter survived the attack and lived for a few hours before dying, pulling out chunks of her own hair along the way.
The police never found the murderer, although they did surmise that he or she spent time in the home after committing the heinous acts. There was smoke curling from the chimney and some food had been consumed.

It was a small town, by a small river, by a small lake, in a northern part of a Midwest state. There wasn’t so much wilderness around that you couldn’t see the town. On the other hand there wasn’t so much town around that you couldn’t see and feel and touch the wilderness. The town was full of fences to walk on and sidewalks to skate on, and the muted cries and laughter of boys and girls full of costume dreams and spirits, preparing for the greatest night of the year. Better than Easter, better than Christmas, Halloween.
