40-year-old writer of mystery and the macabre Edgar Allan Poe becomes drunk and hallucinatory, and makes a suicide attempt. He is detained for public drunkenness and incarcerated for one night in Moyamensing Prison, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. No records exist which support this story other than Poe's own account of it.
