Ghosts

Mysteries and Histories of the Great Lakes

Lighthouses & Lakeboats
Books by
Wes Oleszewski

To the average person, ghosts are considered to be “super natural”. To many research historians, however, they are often considered to be little more than another element discovered along the way toward whatever subject the researcher happens to be working upon. This is especially true for those who research shipwrecks and lighthouses. Often, when serious researchers gather at lighthouse and shipwreck festivals and talk among themselves, their off-the-record chat centers around ghost stories. Author Wes Oleszewski considers such supernatural occurrences to be simply a part of nature itself, as normal as autumn gales or thunder storms, but less understood.

So, when Wes shot photos of a lighthouse keeper’s quarters which had been locked up for the winter and where a ghost sighting had been reported, he was simply looking to illustrate his next book. Weeks later when the photos were developed Wes was surprising, but not shocked, to see someone looking out of the second floor window of the vacant building. Taken just 90 seconds apart, one photo showed the curtains close, while the next showed them pulled aside as a ghostly figure looked from the window.

Discoveries such as this are all too common for history detectives such as Wes Oleszewski.

He has rubbed elbows with the child’s apparition who moves the pieces of this puzzle even though it is sealed in a Plexiglas display at a Great Lakes lighthouse.

In quest of history undiscovered, he has trespassed on the private domain of the spirits who peer from the windows of this windswept lighthouse keeper’s quarters.

Recently Wes has opened the case of the little girls who haunt a coastal lighthouse.

In the near future he will be looking into the disastrous legacy of this ill-fated lighthouse and its lost keepers.

Still, the discovery for a history detective never ends. There will always be maritime disasters,

forgotten shipwrecks with a story to tell,

submerged shipwreck shadows in the shallows whose lost souls haunt the beach,

huge pieces of shattered wooden vessels that wash ashore,

and another lighthouse haunting to be recorded.

Among it all Author Wes Oleszewski will be investigating and compiling the facts into stories that will fascinate, inform and thrill as only he can do. If you need an expert in maritime or lighthouse hauntings or research, or you have a tale to be told, Wes is easy to find.... just go to the photo, and click on the ghost looking from the window!
