I know that the Cask of Amontillado happens to be a true story. This wasn't discovered until about 3 or 4 years ago. Poe had visited this place where it supposedly happened and he got the idea for the story from stories that he had heard there about a killing that had actually happened. So a few years ago, they found a body in the same place. Interesting!?
