Key West Ghosts & Legends Tour®

Ted Messmer	Born in the Motor City but raised in Naples, Ted is a Gulf Coast Cowboy. He got his serious interest in the paranormal when he was 18 and involved in a traffic accident that led him to flat line for about four minutes. This sent him on an amazing out of body experience. In addition to sparking an interest in the paranormal, it led Ted to believe life is way too short to be taken seriously. This led to his world wide travels and pursuit of "fun and interesting" jobs. This has included everything from being a top rated radio personality to taking peoples money at a casino to killing a mechanical shark with a grenade launcher 50 times a day. In his off time Ted enjoys his time on the water...or under it. He also enjoys to write and play music and is a huge Tampa Bay sports fan. Ted says the best parts of his job are meeting exciting people from all walks of life, having a variety of different paranormal experiences every night and having his office be the streets of Old Town, Key Weird.
