A 
					Jan. 19, 2008, file photo shows the original grave of Edgar 
					Allen Poe, with a bottle of cognac and roses left by a 
					mysterious visitor, in Baltimore. Fans of American author 
					Poe headed to Baltimore again this year to try for a 
					glimpse of the shadowy figure known only as the "Poe 
					toaster" -- even though the mystery visitor was a no-show 
					last year.
