Since 2005, the TV program Cuarto Milenio has been entertaining a constantly growing audience, with «information» about any kind of supernatural events and/or mysterious characters. Of course, Edgar Allan Poe (or his legend) can easily fall within this category (as it happened in 2007). So, the aim of this paper is to analyze how Cuarto Milenio has reconstructed Poe's last years (especially last days), with the particularity that, to do so, the host Iker Jiménez conceives an «original» narration to tell his tale, going beyond the limits of both TV and literary formats. To achieve this objective, we will follow the philosophy of Michel Foucault, especially the concepts that have to do with voyeurism. This theoretical approach will give us the opportunity of analyzing concepts such as surveillance and subservience, or how the eye of the reader/watcher (narratee) modifies the narrated «reality. »
