Speaking of Poe, I remember learning a while back that a sign of repeated low-grade carbon monoxide poisoning manifests in a really particular facial asymmetry that is super exemplified in him.

One side of the mouth will turn upwards, and the brow on the same side will turn down. It can definitely be seen in images of other people from this era, and also coincides with homes and spaces being increasingly lit with coal gas.

Symptoms of low-grade carbon monoxide poisoning can also manifest as feeling like you’re being haunted. Unease, visual and auditory hallucinations, all that. There have been instances of people today who think their house is haunted finding that they have something leaking CO into it instead.

Victorians have absolutely solidified their place as Spooky Ghost People who influenced…so much about how ghosts are thought about and portrayed today. And while there are a lot of Actual Reasons as to why things like Spiritualism really took off in the mid 19th century…ongoing CO poisoning probably didn’t help with people NOT seeing ghosts.
