Unfortunately no. I first heard the idea from a source who lives in Charleston, and have seen it alluded to several times in travel/ghost books on the city. But there is always very little evidence given to support the story. Good luck with the thesis. You might also check out a song which uses stanzas from the poem, by Marissa Nadler on Ballads of Living and Dying, which is nothing if not atmospheric.

Hello, Im writing my thesis on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem Annabel Lee. I was wondering who wrote the section about “Poe in Charleston and the Legend of Annabel Lee”? Do you have any further information?
Thank you.

Todd:

Not specifically relevant to this story, but I’m going into withdrawal without any new postings, stories or travelogues! When do you expect to pen a new entry for our gothic-starved lives?

I remember the Mastersons! Thank you for bringing back great memories. I grew up on Bay Avenue and knew Jimmy although I think he was a few years older than me. I believe he suffered from epliepsy if I remember correctly. A nice family. I wonder what became of them.

I lived and grew up in Farmingdale, as a teenager, we would go up to the Castle. I remember all of us climbing across the top of the huge wall that was the ballroom, I am glad none of us got hurt in doing so. I remember the wall was thick and it was extremely high. It was a beautiful place even in its state of disrepair.
We never harmed the place, we found it intriguing and loved to explore it. Thank you for sharing the history of the home.
