i had an uncle that knew when he was going to die. he knew the year, month , day, right down to the hour and the minute how, you may ask could he have been so precise about his own death...?? the judge told him.

He probably had a stroke if they assumed he was drunk for 4 days

My father knew when he would die some twenty years before. He said he would probably die at his desk ( it was Xmas eve, he was off) and said he'd be 67. He added that he has had a happy life and will die happy. He was right about everything and would have died at work if it hadn't been xmas.

I'm from Baltimore and we learned about Edgar Allan Poe like he was a resident Baltimore we even take field trips to his Graves as a kid I feel like I learn more about Edgar Allan Poe and his one video and all of my schooling from Baltimore

E.A.P. "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

One of Japan's greatest mystery writers was a huge fan of Edgar Allen Poe and even based his pen name, Edogawa Ranpo, on Poe. This in turn influneced the name of the main character of the famous Detective Conan series, Edogawa Conan (from Edogawa Ranpo and Arthur Conan Doyle). A true marriage of mystery legends, and all thanks to Edgar Allen Poe.

He truly was a time traveller. He was born on 19th January 1846, yet he managed to attend the University of Virginia in 1826!

As someone who stumbled on your channel when it was new, I’m so glad you’re still doing well and still making good content!

4:54 He was born in 1809 and died in 1849.

This is genuinely one of the most intriguing videos I've seen on Edgar Allan Poe. His life never seized to amaze me but this is on a whole new level, especially the fact that he predicted the Big Bang decades before actual scientists. Moreover, his last story being mirrored in real life remains the most eerie coincidence ever!

Fun fact: the pub is called The Horse You Came in On and it is still open today in Fells Point Baltimore MD.

I'm just going to put this out there. Poe went missing for a week, and he had a bit of a gift for pre-telling future knowledge (big bang, etc.). So, what if Poe were visited by a fan of his, who brought him to the fan's home and showed him around and explained some things to him in return for his inspirational writings from the fan's childhood. What if the fan was H.G. Wells? The Mignonette ship wreck was in 1884, just about the same time Wells was toying with his idea for his first novel, The Time Machine (1895). Perhaps Wells brought Poe to 1884/5 where he read about the shipwreck in a newspaper. Poe could have also been taken to 1939 to see "The Wizard Of Oz" (in color, no less) and the shape of things to come. The Big Bang and expanding universe theory came out pre-1927, so he may have heard about it in 1939 before being taken back to 1849. Poe was missing for a week and returned disheveled and disoriented. How does Wells describe his time traveler in his novel? Disheveled and disoriented after having been missing for a week. Coincidence?

Here before the thumbnail got changed 3 times

Awesome as always! Minor note: timeline 4:52, Poe was born January 19th, 1809.

I read an article by a doctor who was given Poe's medical records from his final days and asked to give his diagnosis. After consulting with a specialist, the doctor concluded that Poe died from rabies, which had gone into his brain.

Thank you. I have read in several books that Poe died of alcoholism. This is the first time I have heard the story of his actual death. When I was a kid I read Edgar Allan Poe often, and did a couple of book reports on his life. So I’m surprised to hear the rest of the story.

As a West Point grad, we always kept to the story that Poe was dismissed after arriving at parade "almost" without clothing in that he was dressed only in his cross-belts and ammo pack. Absolutely apocryphal, but we continue to pass it along. Thanks for the presentation. Also from an area just south of Baltimore, so Poe has been part of life as long as I can remember.

This was fascinating! I knew he was an amazing author but had never heard of his scientific brilliance nor his apparent clairvoyance. That "coincidence" is truly astounding and your assessment of "What the actual F*CK" is hilarious! My first experience with Poe was in middle school when I read The Tell-Tale Heart and fell in love with his writing instantly. What a dark and incredible mind he had. Fantastic video!

He might have died from detoxing from alcohol.

You suggested a possible solution to the Eureka mystery yourself in your episode of 3 weeks ago! The brain tumor might have triggered acquired savant syndrome which in Poe's case gave him advanced insights into the nature of the universe. Now I'm curious about what else is in that book that is deemed wrong. It might be stuff we just haven't found out yet.

I had no idea Poe was so influential. I love this RU-vid channel. Thank you for the content Thoughty2. Your videos through the years have brought me much joy, entertainment, and knowledge. Love you guys.

Thank you for showing Poe in a realistic light. He's one of my favorite authors with his poem, The Outsider. Beautiful and misunderstood 🖤🩶🤍

One of the many things I love about this channel is the amazingly life-like, starkly realistic animations which are so convincing as to fool the viewer into believing that the scenes were filmed on site with real actors. Brilliant.

“One day in the pub, an Italian mathematician worked feverishly to solve a particularly difficult equation. Upon succeeding, the mathematician jumped up and exclaimed Eureka! The British fellow sitting next to him angrily replied “Oi there mate! I’ll have you know you don’t smell so bloody great yourself!” -Benny Hill told my dad that joke when I was 5… remembered it ever since.

My oldest granddaughter still gets strange looks when she tells her teachers that my spouse and I would read The Raven to our grandchildren as a bedtime story. They loved it. Btw: she is in an ivy league school now. The others have various talents in different areas, such as music ext. They are very creative. I truly believe that in addition to supportive parents, Poe had a real impact.

Poe was truly way ahead of his time Most of his characters have various psychological disorders like schizophrenia, narcissism, epilepsy This was before Freud He was truly hated by his peers. The British peers hated him because he was far superior in both intelligence and physique. And they picked on him by shaming his dead mother, who as it happened, was a theatre actress and that wasnt a very honourable profession back then. But his response to his peers were caustic. He roasted them well. He was quite a handsome man, and the famous painting of him we see everywhere as a spiteful depiction of him as an ugly version of his self. He did have a drinking problem but that’s because of his tragic life story. The way he drank wasn’t normal. He’d down the glass of the entire spirit In one go Poe is a truly remarkable, intelligent and creative author

Thanks for this! I’ve been thinking about him recently. Not so much that I would do research, but enough that when I realized this video was about Poe, I settled in to watch the whole thing. I’ve always thought he was an interesting character.

Heard of this story (4 shipwrecked crew) a few years back. Bizaare for sure. Poe had to be a psychic or somehow was able to tap into the akashic record. :)

I read that Poe's attending physician was John Joseph Moran and the last person to see him alive. He was also the only person supposedly, so everything we know of his final days after he was in found the gutter is based solely on his account. But he later changed his story a few times when describing events later on, such as the dates and times and whether he contacted kin before or after Poe's death. Although they say there may have been no malicious intent on his part but possibly just errors in memory. Still kinda adds to that conspiracy theory-ness lol and if what I read about the credibility of the doctor is even accurate in itself 😂

Poe had a great mustache when he passed. Crazy he was only thoughty, too.

[9:12] That neckbeard is enough to make any renowned Redditor quiver in exaltation.

I first learned of Poe in high school and he kept me busy for the next 2 years. When I finished reading his work I felt abandoned, I wanted more. He was incredibly entertaining.

Still didn't answer "How Poe wrote his own death sentence?" He wrote someone else's BUT NOT his own.

Poe's prediction of the big bang is something important. This sort of thing happens often enough that it should be sought out. There's something weird that allows people to have incredible insight beyond what should be possible and it's an incredible and life changing thing to experience

Great video. Very interesting and well produced. Thank you Thoughty2 and team.

I deeply appreciate all of your content and efforts and all your information, some of which is very personal to me. Thank you!

Great video. It's so sad that he never lived long enough to know that so many people loved his work. That coincidental boat death is really weird.

Edgar Poe is one of my absolute favorites and has been since I discovered his work in my early teens. He was truly remarkable and talented. Thanks for this great video!

The idea that the universe sprang from a singularity was around for millennia before Poe. See the Daodejing and the Upanishads.

As always...your vids are captivating. I rarely watch a vid to its end. But I actually watch yours until you thank me for watching....every time. The subject matter is wildly varied and yet uniquely Thoughty two ish. Fantastic stuff. I my eyes you are the Edgar Allen Poe of the genre of literature that you produce. History is rarely...if ever...the documentation of what actually occurred at that time. It's a great venture for someone to attempt to take on that mighty blunder. Thanks for your many efforts.

Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore” My father got to visit his home in Baltimore as when he took us it was closed in 2001 just months before 9/11 and never got a chance to go back. Anyway there is a fireplace in a part of the house where it is bricked up, which would inspire “The Cask of Amontillado”. He’s an amazing writer who lived a tragic life. Edit: Completely not trying to paraphrase your last line there Thoughty2, I promise I wrote this before I saw ending.

Interestingly, Edgar Allen Poe was actually a cadet at West Point Military Academy, although he didn't make it to graduation. He features in a lovely dark tale by Louis Bayard, a novel called The Pale Blue Eye, concerning the gruesome murders of a couple of cadets, and Cadet Poe assisting a troubled, retired NYC detective investigating the murders. It's a wonderful, dark, lyrical book. A very faithful film adaptation was done a couple of years ago, starring the always masterful Christian Bale as the detective, and the amazing Harry Melling as Poe. For some reason its theatrical release was very limited, and as far as I know it hasn't been released on DVD in America, although it has in other countries. I managed to get hold of a DVD, and the film just blew me away. The book, however, is easy to find.

Fascinating video and excellent narration! Thank you!

Thank you so much for that insight. From all of us that have loved the writing's of Poe !

Has anyone suggested the onset of Type 2 diabetes? Uncontrolled, because you haven't been diagnosed can lead to acting drunk and raving ... although one would have expected a coma at the end rather than more raving and death. Just a thought

The Gordon Pym story is far far more similar to the Essex sinking that happened 18 years prior: a whaling ship from Nantucket, they had tortoises in the boats, they drew straws and the youngest was select to die and be eaten, etc...

Absolutely love your content, it's always facinating and can lead you down an internet rabbit hole and I love when that happens! ❤

WoW! So incredible! Thanks for sharing this incredible story of M. Poe’s life!

In defense of his wedding to his 13 year old cousin, most described them more like brother and sister. It is believed they never consummated the marriage, and many speculate that he only married her in order to protect/take care of her. Marriage between first cousins wasn't particularly uncommon at the time, it was her age that raised some eyebrows.

Studied Poe as a kid. Did a report on him for literature. I was always of the opinion that he died of mercury poisoning, but that tumor thing is new to me and certainly would explain his " supposed" insanity. All great artists are eccentric in some way but EAP was my kind of guy. Besides , the west point story is hilarious.

That was a pretty awesome vid! I didn't know about Poe being so insightful about the universe and actually beating Einstein and Hawking to the punch , so to speak. Thanks. I haven't ever seen any of your videos that I didn't like. 😀 🙏

Intriguing! As usual your narration is absolutely riveting. Thank you

This is one of those fascinating subjects that makes one wish you'd occasionally make longer videos than this! How about a 45-miniute documentary?

Very informative, and entertaining. I didn't realize ,that there was so much more to the man. You gave me something else to think about.

Baltimore "Ravens" are named after this man's work. These days, it is difficult to explain this to my children, that an NFL team is named after a writer's work from that area... but I do my best.

Really enjoyed that, quite a lot of detail that I didn't know about Mr Poe.

Sherlock Holmes was based on an Edinburgh doctor who was Arthur Conan Doyles mentor !

I've been here watching your content since 2014-2015 and can't believe I've known of this channel for almost 10 years

“I’m Poe.” “We’ll don’t expect me to give you money!”

My favourite Edgar Allan Poe story is, “The Pit and The Pendulum.”

"Took to it like a duck to HoiSin Sauce" definitely wins a thumbs-up from me.

I've heard a story Mr. Ballen told about this same thing with a crew mate, but never knew Edgar Allen Poe wrote a story that he wouldn't realize be based on a real person.

Very informative! Thank you so much!

Arran, the footage of the Raven mascots is not from the NHL but the NFL. It’s the Baltimore Ravens from the National Football League. Just an observation! 😊Thank you for your fantastic content!

A great history deserves a listening. I was just passing by but had to watch this piece of great works.

Wow I never really knew so much about his life. This is so interesting!! I love his writing ! Thanks!

Idk, "The voyage of the titan," is a pretty crazy literary coincidence.

Eureka is literally giving away how he got the info. he like telsa later would allude to, got a psychic download of the info. just like jack parsons, and other's... i even have had one of these sudden bombardments of images showing me the shape of the universe, and how time works. he was giving away how it came to him in the title.

And thank you for that enlightening tale of Poe. He's probably my favorite American author from that period, maybe because his imagination was so macabre and yet so affective to readers. If only the doctor treating him had had a better diagnosis of him. Who knows? They might have saved him.

❤ Brilliant! Well done, Thoughty! 😊

Poe is one of my all time favourite writers. Thank you for doing this video!

Anyone in NYC around Halloween should take the Poe Walk, a walking tour of Poe related locations, including his 3 homes, in Greenwich Village. The guides do a great job of bringing 1840s Manhattan to life and family and friends that visit me in Oct always want to go.

❤❤❤❤❤ my most favourite story yet! Thank you Thoughty2!!

He may have been the first ever remote viewer who are individuallys who can cast there Consciousness to any place at anytime.

Great video. Keep them coming

I live about 10 minutes from Poe's grave. On the corner of Greene and Eutaw street in Baltimore of course. It always gives me a feeling i cant explain. If you ever make it to Baltimore see for yourself. ❤

I have listened to a lot of your channel. I drive a lot. Best story so far, great work.

A genius mind is usually incomprehensible to others. While Poe may have seemed insane to readers it was actually masked brilliance

A fabulous presentation in your wonderful mesmerizing narrative style. Well done and RIP Edgar Allen Poe.

Good ol' Poe. I've had many a drink in the bar that claims it was his last stop before ending up in the gutter (The Horse You Came In On Saloon). That claim is dubious at best. I think The Fall of the House of Usher and The Gold Bug are his two greatest works. Two very different genres, and two excellent stories.

Only up to 1:19 .. and I'm thinking > "doesn't diabetic shock present superficially as inebriation? how long does that take to kill you when it kicks in like that? what other conditions occasionally have similar symptoms?"

It wouldn't surprise me if Poe was either epileptic (Temporal Lobe Epilepsy) or had a slow growing brain tumor in either his right or left temporal lobe. It is fairly well known that those with TLE are prolific writers and many great authors, their odd behaviors and such indicate that they were undiagnosed at the time, but meet all the diagnostic criteria. Even those who have been noted as having visions and/or religiously fixated, be it traditional or as a form of Spiritualism. Thank you for this facinating story that I never knew about Poe or the science type book he wrote. I'd never heard of it before and intend to look into it. Either way, Poes writing moves you in your soul in a way that goes beyond the words he wrote. They bring you to a mood of place and emotional response. Brilliant! Bravo Poe!

Love this episode one of my favorite authors of all time. Love your channel

That is only one of MANY of the stories from Charm City!! Much love from Lady Baltimore History ❤

Sounds like Poe might have been psychic without even realizing. 🤔

Even more interesting is at the same time he died at this home in Richmond. Edgar Allen Poe has graves in both Richmond and Baltimore each birthday a man dressed like Poe appears carrying a bottle of cognac drinks it at his grave both of them

He was born in 1848, but went to Thomas Jefferson college in 1826. Interesting!!

Another mystery surrounding Poe is that after he died every yr on his b-day someone would leave a half-empty bottle of cognac & 3 roses on his grave. Nobody ever found out who this person was or why they did it.

Thank you as always for the great stories! And animation as well! 😊

A beautiful way to end the video with a line from the Raven poem. 😊

Oooh! It's been a while since I watched your videos (binge watched all of them so I took a break to binge watch them again). Love your no mustache look!!!

PERFECT TIMING FOR A WEEKLY THOUGHTY VID! GREAT AS ALWAYS! Thank you so much 💙🫶🏻

His stories also inspired a prog-rock album by Alan Parsons.

wow, wow, wow. i havent seen your chess machine vid yet but this one is MY favourrite!

The "Nevermore" at the end.....Good One 👍

Not that it matters but... When I first started school I rode the bus home, and I sat with a girl who loved Poe. She would tell me his stories, and from that experience and my brother being into Poe, I developed a lifelong long love for the man and his works. I've read a bunch of shit throughout my life, but Edgar Allan Poe is still my favorite writer of all time. I highly recommend people listen to the great Christopher Walken read The Raven. It's just beautiful. Thank you for this dive into my favorite author of all time. I love your channel, and this was my favorite video.

Idk why but the I ❤ Baltimore shirt was hilarious 😂

My first husband, Vernon, and I were married for 34 years. In 2013, 10 days after his birthday on February 17th, Vernon died on the 27th. He was 72 years old. I still love him.😊

Thanks! That was a great and enjoyable story. I have even more respect for Poe.
