1930 – The Coast Guard, while chasing a rum running boat near Key West, opened fire to stop it, and three men were arrested. The men claimed that Willie “Twisteye” Demerritt had been shot and fell overboard. A search failed to find his body. Local authorities tried to charge the Coast Guard crew with murder, but they left town and charges were dropped. Demerritt was never seen again.

I saw Demerits all through high school.

1966 – Key West Police received reports that a masked man wearing a hat was jumping out and scaring people along Whitehead Street. Old timers feared it was the resurrection of the “Bonnet Man,” a mysterious figure who had prowled through nighttime Key West years before.
