Nevermore: The MIB At Edgar Allan Poe’s Grave

The Gralien Report

Modern UFO research is, at times, rife with reports of alleged interactions with Men in Black (MIBs), the infamous and unsettling UFO-silencers that are purported to visit unsuspecting witnesses shortly after their encounters with strange aerial phenomenon. For the most part, the MIB represents an intimidating element within the UFO subculture; a portent to the ultimate fate awaiting those who dare to speak out about their personal encounters with different varieties of unexplainable phenomenon.

The inherently “evil” presence of an MIB, especially in a folkloric sense, seems to be a matter of question in relation to his appearance. In the modern UFO-related cases, strange men in black suits are said to appear before witnesses of strange aerial phenomenon, leaving virtually no evidence of good intent, let alone any physical proof of their visitation.

But in contrast with typical appearances of ”Men in Black,” there was one remarkably underreported modern instance that involved a very strange “MIB”-like character, said to have haunted the grave of the ill-fated author of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, for close to seven decades. While this man was no MIB in the ufological sense, it cannot be argued whether this particular phantom of the night actually existed… in fact, the yearly sojourns of this unidentified man clad in black, who appeared each year to drink expensive cognac at Poe’s grave for close to seven decades, is well documented as fact; along with the strange messages this character would sometimes leave during his mysterious annual visits.
