“I don’t believe in ghosts but they have been chasing me my whole life.” – Edgar Allan Poe.
Join us in the New England Curiosities pop-up, the Spellbound Solstice Cottage. Maine’s mystery maven Roxie Zwicker, as we step into the shadowy world of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe’s legacy and mysterious death remains an enigma today. He was barely 40 when he died, in circumstances so mysterious his cause of death remains unknown. Variously attributed to alcoholism, substance abuse, disease and suicide, what is known are the storied facts: he was discovered, wearing someone else’s clothes, lying in a gutter, and died a few hours later.
This night is part presentation, part storytelling, as Roxie explores the mysteries and ghost stories from the legacy of Poe and does readings from some of his famous works.
The spooky room will be lit by flickering candles and there will be bowls of sweet treats available.
Space is very limited – and is handicapped accessible.
