Edgar Allan Poe, Classic Vintage. Believed To Be Highly Haunted By Several Ghosts, Including Poe. Intense, Serious Occult Item. Free Gift.

Here's the story . . .

We obtained several old books from a book shop that has gone out of business. The shop was located in the Northeastern US, and it specialized in old books, rare books, and haunted books. The owner asked that we keep his name, location, and the identity of the former shop private, as he's had several terrifying experiences and he wants nothing more to do with the books or the shop. We visited the shop on the last day it was opened, and we were able to obtain several books. Some are haunted, and others are rare.

About this book . . .

First of all, before we receive 100 messages about the price, we want to agree that this book is ridiculously priced. Absolutely! The reason it's priced so high is because someone affiliated with our shop had an extraordinary paranormal experience with it and wants to keep it. The others want to put it up for sale because that's what it was originally purchased for. We're putting it up for a while to see if someone is drawn to it enough to purchase it at the price listed. If so, we know the book was meant for that person. If not, then it was meant for us!

The book is believed to be haunted by two women who were in love with Edgar Allan Poe and a mysterious old woman who appears in dwellings where the book remains. It is also believed to be haunted by the spirit of Poe, himself.

The original owner of the book was a man named Richard Mitchell. Richard was deeply involved with the occult, and he was a devoted fan of Poe. On Halloween night, 1966, he performed an elaborate ritual calling upon the spirit of Poe to possess the book to guide him with his own poetry and story writing skills. He enjoyed moderate success after that, and he claimed to have a true friendship with Poe. He also performed mediumship readings, claiming to be able to speak with spirits after performing the ritual.

After his passing in 1978, the book belonged to several people who experience visions, profound dreams, and episodes of automatic writing where they were able to write incredible stories and poetry and write messages from those who have passed on, even in languages they didn't know. People have seen visions of several different women around the book.

One woman is dressed in black and appears to be middle aged. She has dark hair and a very pale face. She always looks at the book with intensity and loss and has said she's in love with Edgar. Another woman has long red hair, appears to be in her mid-20s and wears a light-colored dress. Witnesses say she glows, and she's always smiling. She blows kisses to people and points to the book, then touches her heart. She tries to verbally engage people who see her, but nobody has been able to make out what she's saying. There is also an old lady dressed entirely in black with white hair and a veil who appears in the houses where the book resides. She's often in a corner of the house, staring, and she hunched over with a saddened look upon her face. Finally, several people claim to have seen Edgar Allan Poe, himself. People claim he's a charming man with a fantastic sense of humor. So chilling!

A recent sighting of him was in 2015 by a young man named Christopher. He was in his late 20s at the time. He was going through a hard time in his life. His girlfriend broke up with him, and he was buried in student loans. He couldn't find a job, and all he wanted to do was write. He was experiencing writer's block and drinking heavily when he was given this book as a gift from his mother. One night, alone in his room, he started reading it. He said Poe appeared to him, and they had a 10 minute conversation. It was deep and inspiring. After that, Christopher's life totally turned around. He stopped drinking, he found an excellent job in the literary field, he wrote his first novel, and he found a beautiful girl that he quickly married.

The incident by the person here at Bloo Moon involves Poe, too, but she decided not to share the story at this time, so we can't answer any questions about it. Due to the history and her personal experience, we feel this book is a highly active paranormal item. It has friendly energy, so we would consider selling it to a novice who doesn't scare easily. But be aware that the spirit of the old lady is somewhat frightening.

Potions ~

Our oils, teas, and glosses are created by hand based on “antique” family recipes. The ingredients in the products that are wearable meet or exceed the high standards of California’s Proposition 65 and are vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and made in the USA.

Vintage & Antique Items ~

Not all of our items have “haunting histories” so please read each listing very carefully. For the items that do have haunting histories . . .

They will arrive to you as we receive or find them. We do not “spiritually cleanse”, physically restore, or even dust off these items. They're all sold "as is". We don't want to disturb their energy state as any part of the object is an extension of that energy. If you, the new owner, decide to clean or restore the item, that's your choice, of course, but many do not. By sending the object to you the way we received it, you can make the decision rather than us making it for you.

Energy cannot be destroyed but can be transferred or transformed. So maybe it’s not such a far-reaching, kooky, or ridiculous idea that intelligent energy could attach to a special object. However, attachment and expression are two different things. Just because a haunted object exists doesn’t necessarily mean it will produce a paranormal result. Perhaps the intelligence behind it needs to be in a comfortable and secure position before reacting. So please allow time for your object to bond to you before you see results of any spiritual manifestations. Bonding could happen immediately, or it could happen in six months or a year. In some cases, it doesn't happen at all for one person but a friend or a family member or even a pet could cause a reaction. If you're magnetically drawn to an item, it's meant for you. That doesn't mean it will open up to you immediately. But it does mean, it most likely will.

Paying a Hauntingly High (or Low) Price ~ 

We can't verify the claims made by others, and we are not asserting the objects sold on our website or Etsy store have spiritual, magical, supernatural, or paranormal powers.
