    By Major Dan on January 19, 2017 January 19, The Unexplained

    A Brief History On January 19, 2017, there will undoubtedly be fans of American novelist and short story writer Edgar Allan Poe carefully watching his original grave (the cenotaph marking the site) to catch a glimpse of the person that has come to be known as “The Poe Toaster.”  Every year since some time in the 1930’s, an unknown shadowy person dressed all in black save for a white scarf and wearing a large brimmed black hat has visited the grave of Poe on Poe’s birthdate of January 19, performing the same ritual each year.  In 2010, for the first…

Digging Deeper Liston had won the heavyweight championship by beating Floyd Patterson in 1962 at the age of…
