Melissa

What would you do if a simple trip to the barber shop turned into an unnerving encounter with the inexplicable?

But the weirdness doesn’t stop there. We also unravel a web of disturbing urban legends involving suspicious activities centered around dollar bills found on windshields, triggering fears of carjackings and abductions. Hear firsthand accounts that will make you think twice the next time you see a dollar bill lying around. And if that’s not enough to raise the hairs on the back of your neck, I delve into my own spine-tingling encounters with poltergeists and haunted cemeteries, where the oppressive energy and unexplained phenomena left my friends and me physically ill and emotionally drained.

Speaker 1:

Hello all my spookies. It's Melissa back here at Strange, strange Beyond Insane. Okay. So this episode I'm gonna kind of call it like the warning shot. Some strange shit has been going on, okay.

Speaker 1:

So the first thing I want to start off by saying is where I work at my job is a very nice area. You don't see a lot of homeless People don't come up asking you for money. Very, very nice area. Okay. So just over a week ago I was at work. It was a strange night. I was by myself, never, ever mind, working by myself in the place that I work at Again, a very good area and this man walks in about a half hour to close and he says do you have a spot open for me? And I said I can, you know, but it's going to be a while. And he said that's fine. So he goes back out to his truck and he's hanging out there. I finish up as this man is walking back in.

Speaker 1:

I see this woman walking in the front of the shop back and forth. Didn't think anything of it, so he comes in, I sit him down, we start chatting. This woman that I know I seen walking back and forth walks into the shop. Now remind you, the cameras at our shop was not working for about three days, of course, but the owner's husband fixed them and did end up pulling up this footage. So, as I continue on, this woman walks in and she's just like staggering around.

Speaker 1:

So, again, it's a barber shop. We do have women clients. So I walk up halfway to the front and I say, hi, how are you, how can I help you? She does not respond. So I'm like, okay, so just kind of standing there like a weirdo, and I'm like hi, can I help you? And she's like oh yeah, and she's like holding a sippy cup. And I'm like what's going on? Are you getting anything done tonight? Blah, blah, blah. And she's like no, and it's still kind of like staggering around.

Speaker 1:

So at this point, you know, I'm kind of, I'm I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit annoyed. You know, I just sat somebody down in my chair. It's already past closing time, which I don't mind Like I'll work until midnight, I don't care. But when I have somebody in my chair, it's like okay, figure out what you want so I can go back and attend to my client, right? So finally she gets real close to me and she says do you have a dollar?

Speaker 1:

And I kind of look at her and I said, excuse me, and she said, yes, you have one dollar. And I said do I have one dollar? And I said I'm kind of I'm confused are you asking me for one dollar? And she goes yeah, I need one dollar. They're telling me that my card doesn't work. I don't know. And I'm like who's telling you that your card doesn't? And so I'm just like what? What is going on? And she's like yeah, I just need a dollar, $1.

Speaker 1:

And I said, okay, you know what? Honestly, I don't have any cash on me, which obviously I lied. I said we are a online transactional shop. Only, we don't carry cash here. We don't have any cash. I'm sorry, you don't have any cash. She's like you don't have any cash. And she's like staring at me up and down and I was like no, I don't have any money. And I said again, we do everything online. Our transactions are through pretty much credit cards, apple pay, venmo, whatever. I just kept going on and she's like, oh, okay, which I found really fucking odd that she asked me for one dollar. Like what is one dollar nowadays, right?

Speaker 1:

So I start walking back to my client and she's still just kind of like lingering up there. So I let maybe like two or three minutes go by and I'm like, hey, is there anything else I can do for you? And she's like, yeah, I need your name. And I said you need my name, which probably wasn't smart, but I told her. But obviously, my name, melissa, is like right on my mirror, right, I drew it on there because, you know, we like to make our station somewhat cute. And, um, I said, yeah, my name's Melissa, how, you know, how, what else can I help you with? And she's like, oh, okay, melissa. She goes, do you have a business card? And I said, yeah, I go, we have business cards here.

Speaker 1:

And as I'm like walking up, she walks up to the front of the desk and she's like going through, like just kind of like neurotic, like going through all of our business cards. While we keep public business cards in the front of our business cards, while we keep public business cards in the front of our shop, right, people that want to drop them off. Also, my, my husband's business cards are up there too, right. So I'm like what the hell is she doing? And she just like starts taking all these cards and I'm like, okay, whatever. And I was like, all right, have a good night, blah, blah. So I, you know, I finished my client, walk him out, lock the front door.

Speaker 1:

And I, you know, I wasn't scared of this woman. She had a hat on, um, I think she had like a tank top on, maybe like an overcoat, leggings on and, like I said, she had like a Starbucks sippy cup. But then, like after that, my last gentleman left, I, you know, I felt kind of weird. So I called the owner and I was like, hey, I want to let you know what happened. It was kind of so. I'm not like scared, it was just really really weird.

Speaker 1:

So I'm telling her the story and she like gasps right and she's like, oh, my god, stay on the phone with me. This is why I don't like you guys closing down at night. And I'm like, I'm like, oh, I'm fine. I'm like I'm like, come on, we're in like a really good area. And she's like well, you know, because you're in a good area, good areas get robbed right and good meaning people are well off. Okay so, anyways, oh, I had to drink some more wine for this one, okay. So she's like stay on the phone with me, make sure the front door is locked, make sure the back door is locked. And I'm like now I'm kind of like, all right, you're freaking me out. I'm like I don't think anything of it.

Speaker 1:

So she starts telling me a story that her and her grandson went to a guitar center and the closest one to us is probably, I don't know, five or six miles at least from where Paul and I live, my husband and I, and I think I asked her if it was that one and she said, yeah, it was that one. And I was like, okay, guitar center, well-known place. Um, she's there with her grandson doing whatever, and this woman is following her asking her questions. I believe she said this woman asked her for $1 and she was like, okay, that's weird. So one of the associates grabbed my boss and I, I'm guessing, gave her the hint, like, hey, I'm saving you right now, thank God, and says, hey, I need you to come up front, um, to buy your guitar, whatever. So she goes up there and the guy's like, hey, we kind of see that this woman is bothering you guys. We're trying to kind of like deflate the situation. Okay, that's awesome, thank God, there's people that care. Right, excuse me, okay. So she leaves with her grandson and they get into the car and she sees a woman coming out and like comes right up by her car. Next thing she knows her grandson's side, the passenger side a man approaches and is like trying to talk and like basically giving them like the hand motion, roll down the window or like open the door, they take off, thank god.

Speaker 1:

Um, she made a police report and they told her dispatch, told her that there has been many reports and there has been abductions. So now I'm like fucking freaked out. Right, all right. So here's the weird part of the story. So I tell my friend this, I don't know, like a couple days later, and my friend is like freaking out and I'm not going to say her name, because there's also a part of the story that something that happened to my friend, my friend's like bitching at me, she's like, oh my god, you, you don't ever close down by yourself. You need to really pay attention. Blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, oh my God, it's nothing, like I don't for some reason, like I did not feel scared, I didn't feel threatened, but then it just it felt very, very, very, extremely fucking odd that for one that happened in the area that I work at, and for two, somebody asked for $1. Okay, so keep in mind my friend Okay, that's a friend, that will continue on what happened, okay.

Speaker 1:

So I started looking into this. I seen something on TikTok and I'm like you know, I'm going to look more into this. So, um, actually, a $ dollar bill. This is. Things have happened with a lot of women recently, um, and it right now I'm looking at this article that says so if you do find money on your windshield, your best bet is to lock your doors and drive off, or not even get in your car and instead just walk away from it. Whatever, whatever you do, call the police. Now I did come. I seen this video a few days ago and this is a I'm sorry, and a Wahoo woman sounding the alarm after finding a dollar bill on a windshield. So, honolulu Island News, melissa Chang was walking back to her car and I'm not gonna say right, of course, you know, you guys know how I am about pronouncing these words Capiloni, capilani, whatever, park when she noticed something on her windshield.

Speaker 1:

It was late at night, it was like 10, 30 pm, and when I got to my car I saw this dollar bill on my windshield, like under the windshield wiper and generally I don't like to touch weird money, said Chang. Chang said she looked around to see if anyone else had a dollar bill on their car, but there was none. She said out of fear she did not touch a dollar bill and drove straight home. I didn't, I did not want to stick around to look it up, so I waited until I got home to Google a dollar bill on your windshield and all of these articles popped up about how it's to ploy and distract the drivers so that when they're reaching for it. So whoever did it can carjack you, assault you or rob you, whatever. Scary, right. So you got my boss telling me this woman that approached her about a dollar bill. And then there was her and this man and then you got this woman from Oahu, honolulu, about this $1 bill.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so going back to my friend that was bitching at me, right, she's like my mama bear friend. Her niece was walking to the bus stop and noticed that this woman was following her closely, right, and I forget what this woman asked her. I mean, I'm like listening to this story and I was like every hair on my body was standing up and at one point I think her niece turned around. The woman asked her for something and her niece was like no, and this is like right by our house where my husband and I live, like no, and this is like right by her house where my husband and I live. And then all of a sudden the woman was like out of sight and then following her again. And then the next thing my friend said is that her niece looked over and there was a man running towards her. I don't know if she got on the bus, I thought maybe she went and got somebody, but anyways, they made a police report and there has been many, many, many cases that it's a woman that approaches and then a man shows up. So that is fucking petrifying.

Speaker 1:

Now, if I did not have that last client in my chair let's just say I was cleaning and I forgot to lock the front door, I mean who knows what would have happened? Say I was cleaning and I forgot to lock the front door, I mean who knows what would have happened? Um, I would say that that client that I had, the last one. He said he hasn't been to our shop in three years and he was a little strange. Like he wore his sunglasses um the whole time sitting there until he got into my chair and it was already like kind of dark out, so I don't know. Like maybe he had something to do with it. That's what my friend thought.

Speaker 1:

All right, now I want to tell you guys about something else. So, when you have your, you know, you guys know, anyone who has been listening for some time knows that I'm huge on dreams. Okay, my dreams have always, unfortunately, been true and some type of deeper meaning. So my friend AKAka my friend, we're going to leave out her name that was bitching at me about this whole dollar bill incident at my work and then that shit happened with her niece. Again, I need some more wine for this. Okay, this is crazy. This is literally strange, bad, insane, okay.

Speaker 1:

So my friend's telling me that she's been having these nightmares pretty much about this cult. Right, this woman comes to her home and, keep in mind, she said she's doesn't. She was like describing this woman in her nightmare and I said is this someone that you know? And she said no, excuse me. Now there's a proven fact that and again, you guys, I'm sorry that I'm coughing it we are approaching fall and, um, the plague is going around and you guys know I touch people constantly and kids, um, this is what I do. I'm a barber, hairstylist, hybrid, whatever you want to call it. Um, so I apologize, but I really wanted to get on here and talk about this, so I didn't want to wait. I couldn't wait, okay, so she's having this dream I sorry nightmare and she said no, I don't know this woman, but I can describe her and it's a human. I'm sorry. It's a proven fact that your brain cannot make up a human face in your dream, like you cannot, like AI, make up a person in your head. It's everything that you see as in person, wise, in a dream or a nightmare either has qualities of somebody that you already know, or it's someone's face, or it's like duplicated, or it's morphed into like all these faces that you already know. She says I don't know this person. Blah, blah.

Speaker 1:

She comes to the house, she's telling me something outside, keyword, outside front porch, and I think she said, like it's something about like a cult, and she's trying to get into her house and her husband was telling her let this person in. And my friend was like fuck, no. And then they her and her husband were like arguing in this nightmare and like all this crazy shit, and she kept, she kept saying that this was a reoccurring dream. Nightmare Sorry, you guys. Nightmare, um, and I'm like, wow, that's fucking crazy, right? Okay, so fast forward, like a week later, and her and I are chatting and this is just the other day. Um, a week later, though, from her nightmares and she's like telling me now this is real life.

Speaker 1:

So my friend is very mama bearish. She has a lot of kids. She's very helicopter mom. Thank God we need helicopter moms. You should be a helicopter mom, especially when you have small children. Ok, so she goes outside and she quits smoking, but she does smoke a little. You know like. She uses her breeze every so often and I think it's great that her and her husband go outside to use their vape, because a lot of people don't, and I think that kind of eliminates you from sucking on your vape too much, right? So she goes outside frequently, have a couple puffs, whatever.

Speaker 1:

This woman approaches her and her name is Monica, and she starts talking to my friend and basically states that she's a Jehovah Witness and yada, yada, yada. Next thing, you know, my friend is telling me that this Monica woman, this Jehovah Witness, is telling her her life story and asks my friend if she can have her number. She really liked her, she was easy to talk to and she, you know, easy on the eyes type type of deal, right. And she wants to call her and vent to her. My friend agrees and gives her her fucking number, which is not my friend at all because she would have. I know she was under a trans right Like she would never have done that, like, knowing who she is, she would never have said that she doesn't like fucking people, like she's nice but she doesn't like random people and she's really weird about people approaching her home. Again, she has small kids. So she's like telling me the story.

Speaker 1:

And this is just the other day, so this again, this is a week after her nightmares, her reoccurring nightmares, dreams, nightmares, whatever.

Speaker 1:

And I'm sitting here and I'm listening and she goes. I forget what she said. She goes, I don't know. It's just so weird that I gave her my number and it felt kind of cult, like keyword cult cult and I mean I swear on anything and everything. I fucking almost jumped out of my seat through the roof of my truck to the moon and I'm like, do you hear what you're fucking saying? You just had nightmares about this and you fucking let this woman talk to you and you gave her her, you gave her your number. I'm like what is wrong with you? And she's like, oh my god, what did I do? And she's like that's not like me. And I'm like, no, that's not fucking like you at all. I'm like, holy shit, you need to backtrack.

Speaker 1:

I'm like, and she like started to get scared and I said, okay, this is what I want you to do. I want you to go in the house, go somewhere where the kids because I think her kids were home from school because they were sick. I said go somewhere and put me on speaker and make sure the kids can't hear. I said do it right now. And she goes, okay, so she puts me on speaker.

Speaker 1:

She goes in her bedroom and I literally start saying I say, listen, um, blank is about love and light. Her whole entire family is. Her house is blessed. That's a home. Her family is blessed. You are not. You are not allowed to enter. You are not allowed to enter her subconscious when she's sleeping. You are not allowed to be around her, her children, inside of her home and from inside of you are not allowed to be around her, her children inside of her home and from inside of you know anywhere around her dog. You have to stay out and blah, blah. And I'm like just doing this like white prayer really quick, right.

Speaker 1:

All of a sudden I hear like like that, I hope I did it on the on the microphone, right, and I hear her say ow, oh shit, or oh shit, then ow, and I'm like what the fuck? And you can hear that the phone is just wailing across somewhere, right, and she's like what the fuck? And she screams again. She gets back on the phone. She goes oh my god, oh my god, I'm so scared, I don't know what just happened. And I said did you drop your phone? She goes I All I know is that when you started talking, I like something like just shook me, like it, like it punched me through me, pushed me, whatever.

Speaker 1:

I went flying across the room and I went into like a laundry basket and I hit my dresser and I hurt my elbow and I'm like, oh my God, okay, I said, here's the thing. I said keep me back, I go, I'm sorry you're hurt, but keep me on speaker and I kept saying this and saying this over and over Like you are not welcomed in her home, you cannot come around her, or her family or her dog. Oh, and that's another thing, she said that when I started talking to her by the front door as she was coming in, her dog started growling. Her dog is the biggest love bug ever. He reminds me of my Luca. She said he started deep throat growling. So I told her I said that's bad energy, like someone sent you bad energy or someone had bad energy that came either around your house, within your house.

Speaker 1:

So all this happened, right, and now rewind. Over a month ago she had a bad experience on a vacation. She went to a family member's wedding and it just ended up really bad. Okay, again, I need to take another sip of wine, excuse me. Okay, so she comes home. She's very upset. It ended.

Speaker 1:

The situation that ended up, that happened in this other state during the wedding, ended her and this family member's relationship and I was like, okay, just, you know, move forward, you know, you know what you got to do. And all of a sudden she starts telling me all this shit that starts happening Like in her son's room, like the Xbox was unplugged and it's turning on. It's opening by itself. Her son is talking to somebody. They're asking this thing in the house to stop. The kids are getting annoyed, blah, blah. The doors are slamming and I'm like, alright, I'm going to come over and I'm going to do a quick cleansing. I'm going to come over and I'm going to do a quick cleansing.

Speaker 1:

So I come over, I put on my app and the kids are in their room and myself and my friend are in there and her older daughter came up from out of the basement and was like recording, or I'm sorry. She was on FaceTime with her other sister and as I'm talking, this Xbox is turning on and off and it says my friend's family member's name and it says betrayal, okay, and that's kind of what happened on her vacation. So, like I told her, I said you brought that fucking energy home, whether you meant to or not, and I believe that this is a poltergeist. And I told her, I said you brought that fucking energy home, whether you meant to or not, and I believe that this is a poltergeist, and I don't say that often. I'm not like somebody that, like, walks in and is like, oh, I'm a professional paranormal investigator. Not at all Okay, but what I felt in that home that night it was a fucking poltergeist, and it literally confirmed it on my phone over and over. So I'm like okay, and then it kind of seemed like maybe the energy had lifted or at least stopped. Now we go out to her front room and I'm sitting on her chair and I'm like literally fighting for my life to keep my eyes open.

Speaker 1:

Whatever was in that home, um, which I believe was a poltergeist, like literally sucked my energy, like so much. So I go home the next day, she tells me she goes, my phone is shattered, the screen, and I'm like what? I'm like how'd that happen? And she's like I don't know, it was fine when I was on it, when you were using your app, and then the next morning I wake up and my phone shattered and I'm like, oh my God, that sucks because you just got your screen fixed.

Speaker 1:

Now I've had a situation, a poltergeist situation, a few years back and it actually broke my brand new back TV and there I mean, there was so much, so much had happened in between, but anyways, I screamed, I yelled, I was fucking mad and all I can tell you is I was standing in the kitchen and I felt this gust of wind go by me. It's like I knew. It went out through the front door and it was gone, and I actually have um evidence and he kept saying that his name was Mason. So there are poltergeists. Um, I believe that it's your own energy or it's energy that you bring into your home. That's why I'm so fucking weird and like very picky on who comes to our house now, because back in the day, like I used to let anybody come over, oh yeah, yeah, okay, no, no, you, you do not enter in this home unless I actually know you and I like you, because somebody can bring some whack ass energy into your home and you do not want that in the home that you sleep in, that you eat in, that you're supposed to be your serenity, your peaceful whatever you know like it's supposed to be your utopia where you live. So that's that.

Speaker 1:

Now, another thing I want to talk about we did find a cemetery on my birthday, so just a week ago. I haven't posted anything on any of my social media. I'm not going to tell you guys where it's at. It is in Michigan, crazy. So we kept ending up at the same gas station. We did some fun stuff on my birthday. Michael, kevin, christina, took me out. Christina and I took some fun pictures in one of our favorite cemeteries.

Speaker 1:

Okay, excuse me, um, but anyways, I kept seeing this cemetery pop up. It was weird, Like anything. I looked up in the area, this cemetery, and I'm like it has no reviews, no pictures. I'm like, eh, nah, never mind. So Michael and Kevin go home and Christina and I we end up at this gas station again and I'm like, how do we end up at the same fucking gas station? This is like weird, it's deja vu. So that cemetery pops back up and I'm like, okay, here's the thing. I did not use GPS and we ended up in like back roads. I don't need like it, there was just weird shit that happened, um, but I am going to do a podcast episode on my latest evidence. Um, I do have to get that together. So, you know, give me some time because that, because that takes a lot of editing to do and anyone out there that does anything paranormal investigations you know how much time goes into looking through your evidence, right, and I mean it's fun, it's not draining, it's just it's draining editing and putting it all together. So, anyways, we end up at the cemetery and she I I can't explain it Like Christina was so feeling, so ill.

Speaker 1:

At one point she looked at me and she's like this can't be real. She goes I've never felt this, is this, is this like how it is? And I was like yeah, I said, but I've never felt like this and like all I can tell you is that we were both glued back to the seats in my truck. We felt very heavy. It felt like you're on that carnival ride, that, um, it's like gravity, the gravity pull one, like where the? I don't even know if they have it anymore, but like the things that you lay back on they go up and down, the gravity pulls you up and I mean it's just like a really heavy feeling. So it was just her and I. It was late at night and we're like fuck this, we gotta get out, right, okay?

Speaker 1:

So Carissa and I go out the other night and I'm telling her about this cemetery and I'm like like maybe it was just us at night, you know, whatever, let's put it this way, it was such an uneasy feeling that my friend had to take an ex-Rosanne ex. Okay, she's like this is fucking crazy. I've never felt like this. And she had a stabbing pain in her eye and she was like screaming. She was like ow, ow, ow, my eye, my eye, my eye. And I'm like all right, we're, we're done, we're, we're, we're leaving. This is not safe. You know, maybe it's just you have a headache or whatever. So Chris was like you know, let's check this place out. Okay, fine.

Speaker 1:

So her and I go there and I'm like, you know, we're just kind of like hanging out and all of a sudden I start feeling like really fuzzy. I feel like something is just sitting on me and I'm like I'm telling her, I'm like I don't think I can take my hands out of, I can't like move my, my arms up, and she's like really, really. And I'm like I'm like, oh my God, this is how it started the other night. And they kept the same exact words kept coming up that we experienced last week. And then she says oh my God, I'm feeling really heavy. And I said I feel it was the most surreal, like I felt an out of body experience here, and it wasn't like scary, it was just like this is fucking weird, right, like I can't move, like I literally can't move.

Speaker 1:

And this time, you know, I had Carissa drive or or I'm sorry, she like wanted to drive, we were gonna take my truck and she goes no, I'll drive. So we're in a different car. I'm in the passenger seat feeling the same shit. I did the last time and it took probably about 15-20 minutes to feel it. And then she started feeling it and I looked at her and I'm like, do you think you and I should get out? Like should we get out and walk around here? And she's like no.

Speaker 1:

So I thought our cemetery out in Dryden was our cemetery. But now I found a new one and again it's very strange how it kept coming up. It kept. It was like it was telling me to go there, right, and it has no reviews, has no photos. If you blinked your eye and drove past you would miss it. So we do have to do a group investigation out there. I do want to bring the boys, kevin and Michael. It is again, I'm not going to say the location yet. It is quite a hike from us, probably about 45 minutes at least, almost an hour, let's just say. But we have a lot of exploring to do.

Speaker 1:

So what I'm going to say is when your intuition is good, dreams that you have nightmares that you have, um, I have someone I'm not going to say details but, um, this person was pregnant, was not looking forward to having a, you know, a little boy, male boy, whatever you want to call it and her father came into her dream and said you will accept that this is a boy and you will love this boy, whatever. And she ended up having a boy. And dreams, intuition, things that feel off, that's your subconscious, your spiritual, your higher self, telling you that something is not right or something is going to happen. And I'm huge on synchronicities and dreams and nightmares, and the hardest part is putting everything together right. And this cemetery that we just found just over a week ago, it feels very familiar and that's kind of how the cemetery out in Dryden felt when I had that situation with my eye. You guys know episodes back. It's kind of like a Mothman, I guess, situation. And so stay tuned for that, because we are going to be going out and exploring that.

Speaker 1:

I do again want to take the whole team. I think it'll be more safe having more than just two people out there, but I'm so glad that two other people felt the same energy that I did. Vice versa, I felt their energy and I'm definitely looking forward to going back out there and exploring. I do want to get out there during the daylight so I can kind of do some research. We did try looking up, find a Grave. There's not really a lot out there. Like I said, it's on a dirt road, it's off an unbeaten path. It's very you would blink your eye and it would be gone. So saying that we are waiting to go back out there to put together some more evidence.
