Stories
Edgar Allen Poe moved to the Fell’s Point neighborhood in Baltimore after leaving West Point Academy. Poe reportedly haunted a number of bars in the neighborhood before his death, but after his death, The Horse (as it’s known to locals) laid claim to his ghost. Staff and patrons have reported white “orbs” of light flying through the air. flung barstools, and mysterious voices. It’s been reported that bartenders leave out a glass of cognac that is emptied, cleaned and put away by morning. Sometimes the spirit is seen walking down Thames Street from the Wharf Rat to the Horse.
