I'm related to Edgar Alan Poe

Both of these guys look like they could be related to Poe. 🃏♣️♦️♠️♥️🎲📚📖💵💷💸💲📮⚰️⚰️

Ryan: *does extensive research on the death of Edgar Allen Poe* Also Ryan: *freaks out over the knowledge that Poe was from Baltimore*

8:59 the silence

Anyone else notice that the mannequin got moved to behind the window?... It's even creepier now.

Them saying Poe all the time, i keep thinking of Poe from Kung Fu Panda

I'm all for having fun, but this much lame brain chatter makes the video intolerable

A PoeSA 🌚🌝

The invincible donald principally heap because paper evolutionarily improve following a cultured lift. hurt, frantic suggestion

The Baltimore Ravens named the bird Poe the mascot

"what do you do when life's got you down? film buzzfeed unsolved!" ...i hope one of them becomes sad soon

I mean like marrying your cousin is pretty ew in itself (I can't imagine marrying one of my cousins) she's also 13 and he's 27 like that's 14 years difference that's even more ew...

Shane: about the temperance movement. Is is easy to go the line of "why shouldn't I drink if I want to?" but the thing is that it was usually men who were the sole providers of whole families. The temperance movement was founded on compassion for women and children who went hungry, cold and poor because their husbands/fathers took to the bottle. Had womens liberation been executed before this there would never have been a temperance movement and all people (women too!) could've enjoyed a nice drink. Ofc there's tons more of structural stuff that makes this conclusion problematic, but you get the jist.

brain becomes like a liquid/acid in the skull but it takes a lot of time. But yeah it liquifies. I looked inside a skull (about 500 years old) and the brain liquid was totally evaporated but it left a kinda blue stain in the skull

There balti.ore ravens were indeed named after Edgar's poem they even had a mascot of Poe

It probably wasn't accepted then.

Why'd they bury him in an unmarked grave if they obviously knew who he was?

This could have been an interesting video but these two irreverent pompous assholes make it about themselves instead.

I LOVE POE THIS IS SO EXCITING

RaVeNs ArE sCaRy BiRdS

Btw the raven mascot is even called "Poe"

You guys should have Shane research 1 specific aspect of the killer, like their love life or closest thing and then report it

“Even grosslier”

petition to put play structures in cemetarys and grave yards to make them more fun.

Me and a few friends snuck into the Poe room in UVA. Idk why but the vibes are immaculate. Just naturally morbid for some reason.

Poe and Virginia were also very werid for the time

The Poe poems are great! My favorites are The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart. I also like The Casket of amontillado or whatever it was.

Poe’s reported symptoms align with delirium tremens due to alcohol withdrawal. If he was warned against drinking by a doctor and joined the Temperance Movement he may have felt pressure to quit drinking cold turkey which is potentially dangerous for a functioning alcoholic. Symptoms of DT begin around 2 days after the last drink and are at their worst around day 5 which lines up with Poe’s timeline. Symptoms include extreme confusion, agitation, tachycardia, fever, sweating, delirium, visual and auditory hallucinations, and seizures. If untreated it has a mortality rate of up to 40% of sufferers. None of Poe’s symptoms seem to support the idea that he was intolerant to alcohol. Alcohol intolerance does not cause one to become intoxicated faster or with less quantities of alcohol. The main symptoms of alcohol intolerance are flushing of the face neck and chest, nausea and vomiting, headache, fatigue, and diarrhea. Basically an instant hangover. It is very unlikely for a person with alcohol intolerance to become alcoholic because drinking becomes such an unpleasant experience. I find it hard to believe that Poe would have had a history of heavy drinking if he were truly intolerant to alcohol. Likewise, if an intolerant Poe were a victim of cooping and was plied with drink, he would have become violently ill before he would have had the opportunity to become stumbling, blackout drunk.

Autoimmune encephalitis perhaps

I thought he was buried in Baltimore not from Baltimore

Poe was from Boston. Raised in Richmond and died in Baltimore.

I wonder if he was racist like HP Lovecraft.

4:55 that silence~~~~

I don't understand why people call it bad to marry a relative. It was once seen as bad for two men or women to marry. As long as the relatives aren't reproducing, let them be happy. It doesn't hurt anyone

P

me reading poe has a girlfriend named virginia : awww I'm so happy for him me finding out she was his cousin : .... okay... weird but okay that's fine that's fine me finding out she was 13 : WTF *choke on my drink*

I'm loving the references to The Raven throughout - you're too good to us literary nerds lmao

Poe needed a 12 Step Program, or it generally ends like this....

2:20 is like a republican vs a Democrat talking like no joke

😂❤️

The one guy looks like Poe. Cool!

The year poe won that contest was also the year johann Wolfgang von Goethe died. And the fact that they both lived at the same time, even if it just be for like 20-something years is truly disturbing to me. What even is time

wow he really does show up on birthday

Funko Pops. LMAO

4:40 not as much of a fan anymore 😳

nah i'd hang out at my grave😌. i will hang out there😼

Such disrespectful comments this guy makes. You onky wish be a genius like Poe. You wouldn't last even 1 month in those days.

The drab dimple plausibly compete because brow uniformly wrestle given a husky balloon. lonely, neat thomas

You know with how his state was described in his final hours, all the symptoms and the speaking to things that weren't there, tend to give more validity to him having been beaten. He may have suffered a brain bleed from a blow to the head, that coupled with possible alcohol consumption after voting if that beating was from a "cooping" kidnapping, makes for a really bad combo.

is the queen marry real

shane's just a little bit quirky

Is it just me, or does Shane look like Edgar Allan Poe??

HES A NONCE

The many crowd inevitably concern because peru hemperly drain against a hot huge german. woozy, invincible aluminium

Still think poe's a cool guy shane when i was in jr. high i was tasked with a book report on Edgar i aced it i was not an A student but when i had a book report or something like that i put 100% into it when i read that he married his under age cousin i didn't feel so bad for Edgar anymore when Edgar died the way he did i wasn't sorry.

the constant interruption ruined the video, dislike sorry

"Without further ado" cue commercial break.

So from what we have Shane is Edgar Allen Poe and D.B. Cooper

Poe’s”Annabelle Lee” was based on his love for Virginia

Its time for a film on his life. And it wasn't just alcohol. He fancied smoking opium,"My blood congealed. I turned to stone."

"Grosslier"

♥️🙏✌️🚨🥨🏹🌌🥫

To be fair to Edgar Allan Poe. Its gross when you Imagine him marrying his 13 year old cousin for sexual reasons. But this was an age before the hypersexualized porn crazed world we live in today. I think it was mostly companionship. They seemed to genuinely like one another.

I’m pretty sure the alcoholism is historically inaccurate. He stayed away from alcohol because of what it did to him. He did drink insane amounts of coffee though

Poe sounds like he was bipolar.

Is anyone gonna tell Shane that the temperance movement was led by women who were sick of their husband's coming home drunk and beating them and their children

You guys are role models.You know that right?

You look like Diego De Luna

brain swelling. no wonder. LOOK AT HIS *FOREHEAD*

According to a history book he died because he exposed vampires.

Interesting

Fall of the house of usher audiobook before bed will mess you up!

I love that he quoted The O.C show. I loved that show when I was young.

nice but really a sucker punch

Rip Edgar Allan Poe he died of big brain

Hello everyone

Hell yeah

I don't like heroin

I took vodka shots at Poe's grave ..

He was 100% ill.. Cause when you're in the last stage of death(time has come) you start hallucinate a lot and sometimes see angel or devils If he was beaten to death or he got into an accident he wont get these type of sympthons..

i was just wondering if you ever did mr. poe! sweet!

Ryan, I'm dissapointed. You didnt do your research properly on this one. Poe wasnt actually an alcoholic. He had his obituary written by his rival, who somehow also got control of his literary estate, and he basically constructed this image of Poe as a drunk and a reprobate, and people bought it because it fit his gory stories (which he wrote because they sold much better than poetry or high literature)

It was hypothermia he got hammered and passed out on a cold rainy October day so ovi my boy got the hypothermz also he hallucinated and sweat and bugged out common symptoms of hypothermia and also back then hypothermics were often treated as drunks bc they were off their rocker and sweaty so they j misdiagnosed him and his organs failed from hypothermz case closed sorry Edgar feel better :)

Poe marrying his underage cousin is a sign that he had spent too much time in Virginia

Shane in this video looks like a mix between a 1970s detective, murderer of Wild Bill Hickok: Jack McCall, and Adrien Brody

Literally Every comment on this channel be like Shane:"blah blah blah" omg he's so funny

Edgar married Virginia with a 14 year old age difference 27 to 13. Not to mention Virginia was his cousin. Three words for ya. SWEET HOME ALABAMA!!!!

I dont like Heroine

Self report....

Most people at the very end have hallucinations as it is said the body produces large amounts of DMT near death... but also as part of my qualification we learned that the elderly can have hallucinations and delusions and confusion when they have a water infection or other infection. He could also have had encephalitis infection which makes people forget people, places, and days and is a brain infection. This would also explain brain swelling.

not me living in richmond 🧍

I am sad to report that I was born on January 19th, great

To be far with the age difference they lived a time where the average age to live was 30- 35 so being married at 13 is actually a good age to married in their time. Upper class and parents encouraged and started finding their daughters husband when the girl is 13 even though is weird to marry your cousin the age to get married makes sense since a person average age was 30- 35.

I held an interview with the Curator Emeritus of the Poe House and Museum about all of this, if you care to hear what the experts say about his death. azslow.info/loft/0IeBq7CrnYGGm5Y/video
