I didn't know that, Liza. ...It truly is, Kate.<br /><br />I didn't know that, Liza. At least it wouldn't be creepy like the Sherlock Holmes museum in London. At 221b Baker Street they've done up the apartment like Doyle describes in the Holmes stories. And they've got all these wax replicas of villains and crimes from the stories. It's a tad creepy.Stephanie McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507025637411479409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-39987053618599434472009-10-07T05:57:24.573-06:002009-10-07T05:57:24.573-06:00If you don't want to go to the funeral to view...If you don't want to go to the funeral to view a mock-up corpse, you can go to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where they have preserved Poe's dorm room (minus the body) as a tiny museum with a glass front you can peer into. That's as close as I want to get, TELL TALE HEART creeped me out too.Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170701034715108039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-2322820689588903162009-10-07T05:01:49.287-06:002009-10-07T05:01:49.287-06:00Ah life is so wonderfully odd at times!

Sounds...It is a weird idea, but then... why not!?! Sounds like his first funeral was a bit of an insult to both the man and the author.<br /><br />I looked at the cranky obituary by Rufus and - OUCH! Maybe this time, the words will be kinder and without the angry bias.<br /><br />Cheers, Jill<br />www.jilledmondson.blogspot.comJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152599507268946811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-61844251842564088012009-10-06T17:43:36.652-06:002009-10-06T17:43:36.652-06:00Well, it is strange, but Poe was kind of a strange...Well, it is strange, but Poe was kind of a strange dude.

I knew about his death, but I didn't know about all the stuff with his funeral and body. Weird, yes, but neat, in a way. <br /><br />I think the only part that was like, whoa, with me was the actors portraying other poets and people from his time.L. T.
