yes, I was told by my English teacher and showed me the page where it clearly stated that after Edgar Allen Poe died, about 50 years or so, they found a wall poorly made up. they decided to knock down the wall and found the remains of a man chained to the wall. This brought up thoughts in peoples minds but i think over time people have forgotten about it. I'm sorry, but i do not know the page in which my English teacher showed me but i can tell you, that Edgar Allen Poe's story, is defiantly linked to real life. Who knows, maybe some of the stories he wrote were not just out of imagination for his horrible life, maybe he subconsciously did these things and did not know it, then thought of them as dreams or ideas and wrote them into short stories.
