for him who thence could solace bring, to his lone imagining, whose solitary soul could make

an Eden of that dim lake. Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Lake, which was published in 1827, has an alluring yet ominous

I'd seen something hopped to a tree.

And it was tall, about seven, eight foot tall, and it was black, real hairy, like a gorilla. Welcome to the Paranormal Mysteries podcast. I'm your host, Nick Ryan.
