Join Poe Museum curator (and author of Haunting Poe) Chris Semtner on the hunt for Poe’s ghost
Nineteenth-century writer Edgar Allan Poe has had quite a busy afterlife. Since his death in 1849, his spirit has supposedly been spotted in seven cities and is a regular in three different bars (one of which reserves a stool for him). Join Poe Museum curator (and author of Haunting Poe) Chris Semtner on the hunt for Poe’s ghost. The Webster Award-winning author has written several articles and chapters in addition to eight books about Poe, visual art, horror, pop culture, and cryptography. Semtner has written for Biography.com, Crime Writers’ Chronicle, Resources for American Literary Study, and other publications. He has been featured in publications including the New York Times, Mental Floss, Atlas Obscura, SyFy Wire, and Rue Morgue Magazine, in addition to appearing in documentaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Venezuela, and Japan.
