Ghosts of the Treasure Coast by Patrick S Mesmer
The Treasure Coast is such a popular destination that some choose to never leave. From the spirits of ancient Indians who once inhabited the beaches to the pirates who spied for passing victims from the safety of the inlets and coves, the region is infused with eerie, tragic history. A phantom widow keeps watch from the Boston House window for men long ago lost at sea. Spirits of the victims of a murderous cop linger at the Devil's Tree, where their bodies were found. The dreaded pirate Black Caesar still steers his ghost ship toward Dead Man's Point in the St. Lucie Inlet. Authors Patrick and Patricia Mesmer navigate through spooky tales of vanished sailors, wandering phantoms and lost treasure scattered across the ocean floor.
Patrick S. Mesmer lives in the small fishing village of Port Salerno, Florida with his wife of twenty years and their three cats. He was born in Upstate New York and has lived in South Florida since 1983. Patrick is a historical enthusiast and has a passion for creating stories of people who lived in the past. He describes their lives not only through the use of historical fiction, but also by playing the music of early America. He has a huge appetite for music, and any day you can find him playing his fiddle, mandolin and guitar. In his spare time he volunteers as a docent/tour guide for significant local historical sites, and is a highly sought after speaker on such subjects as Native American Folklore, Early Florida Seminole War History, and Piracy in the Caribbean. He believes that history is fluid and is constantly changing through ongoing research and discovery. He is an avid runner and bicyclist, works as a Sales and Design Consultant for a local air conditioning company. He also teaches air-conditioning design at a local State university at night. This is his second book.
