foxnews.com— For decades, a mysterious figure dressed in black, his features cloaked by a wide-brimmed hat and scarf, crept into a churchyard to lay three roses and a bottle of cognac at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe.

Popularity of "Classic" literature waxes and wanes over the years, from country to country, actually. Many great writers have been "forgotten" for decades or even centuries at a time.
I really had resolved to go see it this time around, kinda disappointing that it won't be so much a mystery. I hope it's still as solemn and respectful.
Poe was always an unapologetic liar and plagiarist... a broken man. This fits exactly into the persona. as an admirer of poe's work, i am not disappointed if this story is true.

every year a guy dressed like Poe would leave 3 flowers and cognac at the tombstone.

This guy is a complete liar and fake. His story is already in the process of being exposed as a lie. Pathetic.
