Founded in 1786, Westminster Burial Ground is one of Baltimore’s oldest cemeteries and the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe, whose death remains one of America’s great literary mysteries. Visitors frequently report a dark figure lingering near Poe’s tomb, accompanied by sudden chills and the scent of roses—the same floral tribute once left by the mysterious “Poe Toaster” who visited the grave annually for decades before vanishing. Beneath the burial ground lie a network of brick vaults and catacombs where caretakers have heard footsteps pacing the aisles and whispers in empty chambers. Shadowy silhouettes have been seen moving between the 18th-century headstones, and ghost tours regularly capture EVPs near the Greene Family vault.
