Although Richard Winer died in 2016, his passing seems not to have been noted on the Forum here. Born 14th of May, 1925, Winer died 11 October, 2016, age 91. Winer contributed several works dealing with mysteries of the sea, starting with The Devil's Triangle (1974); The Devil's Triangle 2 (1976), and From the Devil's Triangle to the Devil's Jaw (1977), all from Bantam Books in the U.S. With Nancy Osborn Ishmael, he wrote several works on ghosts, Haunted Houses (1979), More Haunted Houses, (1981), and by himself, Houses of Horror, (1983), all again from Bantam Books, in the US. His final work appeared after a long gap, Ghost Ships in 2000. The 1973 documentary film The Devil's Triangle was largely based on his own work leading to his later books,and was narrated by Vincent Price. Winer was known for owning one of the largest collections of vintage autos in the United States. A certain grim irony was that Winer served in World War 2, apparently coming through relatively unscathed; then, undesirable criminal elements began appearing in his Florida retirement city. After leading opposition to this sort of activities, Winer was rewarded for his efforts (some decades ago, if memory serves, possibly the late 1980's/early 1990's period), with an ignition bomb in his auto, which pretty much ruined one of his legs, although he survived reasonably intact for victims of such a device otherwise. Contrary to some online information, Winer did believe in supernatural events, or unexplained occurrences in various places, as his ghost works obviously show, although he was not as sensational as many others who wrote about the Devil's Triangle (or Bermuda) Triangle region in the 1970's, in particular. Having had some contact with him, Winer seemed a cordial enough old boy, and was good enough to sign some items of his for me. I do hope the more traumatic events in his life have not prevented him from resting in peace.
