The author is a retired law enforcement officer with his first supernatural encounter as a 20-year-old working at the Dade County jail. Throughout his career, he witnessed other unexplainable occurrences. After founding the Florida Bureau of Paranormal Investigation in 2011, he assembled a team to explore areas that had reported paranormal activity.

The book features information from investigations at the Waldo Sexton Homestead; Waldo’s Secret Garden, Marsh Landing Restaurant, Vero Heritage Center Citrus Museum, the Hallstrom House, and other Indian River County landmarks.
