THE STORY
Reported Haunting
This historic New York restaurant occupies a building long connected to tales that Edgar Allan Poe once frequented the area. Staff and visitors have reported unexplained occurrences attributed to the famous author's lingering spirit.
Edgar Allan Poe may haunt Il Buco, which once was a favorite tavern of Poe’s. Its 200-year-old wine cellar, some say, was the inspiration for the tale “The Cask of Amontillado.” Apparitions of a fighting couple have been seen, a disembodied baby cry has been heard, and more strange things have happened here as well.
