The Edgar Allan Poe House in Baltimore is described as haunted by various reports of paranormal activity, including sightings of the poet himself, a portly older woman (believed to be his grandmother), and other shadowy figures. Visitors have reported experiencing disembodied tapping, muttering, and windows or doors slamming. Some accounts suggest that Poe's ghost is particularly connected to a hand mirror belonging to his wife and his walking stick. Visitors and staff have claimed to see an older, portly woman, often identified as Poe's grandmother. Some claim to have seen Poe's own ghostly figure within the home. Reports include mysterious tapping on shoulders, muttering voices, and dislodging sounds from windows and doors. Staff have witnessed lights moving from room to room, and doors and windows inexplicably slamming shut. Poe's ghost is said to be particularly attached to a hand mirror that belonged to his wife, Virginia, and his walking stick. A significant incident involved unopened Poe bobbleheads that were neatly arranged on a gift shop shelf the morning after they were sealed in their box.
