Hey everyone, welcome back to Strange, strange Beyond Insane, and this is your host, melissa. So I want to start off this episode with some really positive news and even celebration right now. So, according to the app Briefonic, my podcast has gotten an overall 4.2 rating, which I'm completely, completely happy with. You know, there's room to go up. Of course, we would love a five-star rating, but that's not reality, right? So all feedback is good. Now, the best part of this is is that it has shown me that I have 500 active listeners, active listeners worldwide, mostly in America, but we have listeners from all over the world. Okay, so let me just go to my stats. All time, all right, and I want to show you or I'm sorry, not show you, tell you. So in North North America is pretty much 95% of the downloads. We also have downloads from Europe, asia, africa, south America, japan I mean, like it's crazy China, russia, and the list goes on. But my appreciation to my listeners in North America and I'm going to start with Michigan, because this is what I can do right now. I am going to start traveling to these places that you, but these are places that I'm going to explore. So I'm going to start with theville, which we've been to Belleville before, but we haven't explored enough in there. Ecorse, southfield, marcellus, ferndale, ann Arbor, river Rouge, let's see Again. You guys, we have been all over Michigan, obviously growing up in Michigan, but these are places we really haven't like investigated, um. Okay, so Cassopolis, I think, dundee, plainwell, new Baltimore, jenison, blissfield, oxford, adrian, royal Oak, hopkins, clarkston, stirling Michigan Not Stirling Heights where I live Stirling South, lyon, wyandotte, grosse Pointe Woods, farmington, allendale, ada, which we have done a little bit of investigation in Ada, um, but we were literally only there for like a half hour driving home from um, a place that we stayed at Midland Lake, odessa, charlotte, kalamazoo, marquette, charlotte, kalamazoo, marquette, waterford, greenville, lapeer, which we have investigated a lot in Lapeer but not enough, so I'm going to put that one in here too. Grosse Ile Township. So we have been to Grosse Ile, we have done episodes, but Dawn from Ghost Whispers shout out to Dawn. She told us that there's a place that you can stay on Grosse Ile doing overnight. I believe it's a house, so we definitely have to do that.
Speaker 1:Harbor Beach, rapid City, white Lake, sault, ste Marie, gladwin, which my aunt owns property up in Gladwin. That's where Paul, usually my husband, goes hunting every year, and I grew up in Gladwin pretty much as a kid every summer, but never did any investigations or any paranormal research there Claussen, novi, wixom, St Ignace Now there are a lot of places other than Michigan that I want to go explore, right, so I have a lot of listeners in, like all parts of California, la, let's see. Riverside California, upland California, lake Forest California, corona, california, irving California, norco California, oceanside, california I think I already said LA, right, san Diego, california, rancho, san Diego, california, rancho it's going to be a hard word to say Rancho, cusamanga, california, I think. Sorry if I did not say that, right, you guys. Orange, california, fullerton California, cathedral City, california, san Bernardo, california. There's a lot of California in here.
Speaker 1:Oh, and I got listeners, new listeners, in Brooklyn, new York, new York, new York, houston, texas, oh, my goodness, you know, I don't think this was on my list Walden Lake, michigan we need to check that out too. Dallas, texas. We got Dayton, ohio, chicago. Oh, I missed this one too. Aliso Vajo, california, I think. Anyways, california, I have no desire to live there or like vacation for, like you know, la, like to go downtown LA, oh, cool, whatever, I don't give a fuck about that or Hollyweird, but California is very haunted. There are so many cool places in Cali, so hopefully one day I make it there and I can do like an extended trip, because I'm going to need a lot of days to get everything in that I want to do. Um, we do have.
Speaker 1:Uh, let's see another new listener is from Portland, oregon. Oh, I've just seen this too. It just popped up Anaheim, california. We have quite a few in Ohio, the newest, which I think is really cool, one of the newest out-of-country ones is Singapore, singapore, in Japan. I'm sorry, is that South Korea or Japan? But we, so we have listeners in Japan, south Korea, ireland, russia, australia, germany, the UK, canada. There are new listeners from Toronto, canada, which is awesome.
Speaker 1:Um, let's see India, ukraine, denmark, trinidad and Tobago, new Zealand, turkey, israel, norway, finland, sweden, chile I don't even know how to help to say that name um, philippines, spain, slovakia, nigeria, france, panama, pakistan, switzerland. Um, Czechoslovakia I think is how you say that Poland, lithuania, georgia not Georgia like the US Mexico, togo, guatemala. So, like I said, I'm going to start with the listeners in Michigan and again, I promise you guys all live podcasts of where we're at. Now. I do want to talk about Lake Odessa, michigan.
Speaker 1:So there's a back story, right. I had a dream one night about this haunted lake and the color of the lake was like lime green and it was bubbling and like this black shadow like pushed me into this lake and I woke right up as soon as I, you know, fell into the water. I woke up and I'm like what the fuck? Well, I kept seeing um, and then there was like patterns, right, like every time that I would be like movie surfing or, you know, show surfing. I kept seeing this like stuff about this lake Odessa, and I I'm like I made a mental note that I'm gonna go back and watch this stuff, okay, the craziest thing is is that the other night, when I was looking at our viewers and it showed up that like we have a new listener, a newer listener like last 10 episodes in Lake Odessa, I'm like, oh my God, like it all came together, right.
Speaker 1:So there's definitely like synchronicities with this place for me and I've dreamed, you know, dreamt about it, and you guys know, when I dream of a place, I usually end up there. So that's crazy, because a few episodes back, you guys remember me telling you how I fell asleep on Teresa's porch, and I imagined in my head I was walking in this cemetery and then a cemetery that one of our TikTok friends told me to go to with Christina, aka Harry. We end up at the cemetery and I'm like, oh my god, I know this place and she's like I thought you haven't been here, it doesn't show it on your google maps and I this is a place I dreamt of when I was with Teresa, and Teresa remembers key words like the entryway was very wide, it was really pretty, it looked like a beautiful fall night and that's exactly how that cemetery was in Plymouth. So I did dream of it and I ended up there. So maybe I will end up in Lake Odessa. So whoever is in Lake Odessa, if you are listening to this episode, thank you so much for showing me this sign.
Speaker 1:Now, I did look up if Lake Odessa is haunted. So the AI overview was extremely short about this place. Review was extremely short about this place and it just says, yes, there is a reported ghost in Lake Odessa, michigan, known known as the green ghost. Oh, my god, you guys and I was talking about the water being green. I swear to god, I didn't even read this. I just looked it up and I had it saved up here for when I started this episode is that not? Not crazy, the green ghost? And I said I remember falling into this lime green bubbling water. Then I woke up Fucking crazy. See what I mean Synchronicities, okay. So then I looked up um movie about Lake Odessa Okay, and it says new Odessa, the village of the lake, is a documentary about the unique village of new Odessa. The documentary attempts to chronicle the story of the village, which was born to die.
Speaker 1:Lake Odessa is a village in Inonia County, michigan. The village's name comes from the two lakes in the area Tupper Lake and Jordan Lake and the township it's in is Odessa Township. The township was named in 1846 to honor a Russian city, while also being somewhat exclusive Wow. So what is the history of Lake Odessa? So it pretty much just goes over the same thing that Google AI said let's see. Okay, let's look up the census. Lake Odessa is a village in Ionia County, us state of Michigan. The population was 2018 at the 2010 census. It is located in the southern portion of the county, in Odessa Township, on the northeast shore of Jordan Lake, which is boundary with Berry County. Since 1987, lake Odessa has been named a Tree City, usa by the National Arbor Day Foundation. So where is this? So nickname is Lake O. Where exactly is this coordinates? Okay, so I have the coordinates. I'm looking on the map right now. Okay, so the history Several brothers in the Russell family began settling here around 1839, and it became known as the Russell Settlement.
Speaker 1:It later became became known as Bonanza and a post office with that name was established in 1880. When the Detroit Lansing and Northern Railroad, later the Pierre Marquette Railroad, was built through the area in the 1880s, the village was moved about a mile southwest. At that time the name was changed to Lake Odessa, derived from the nearby Jordan Lake and the name of Odessa Township, which had been established in 1846. The township had been named for the city of Odessa in Ukraine, reflecting an interest of one of the founders in Ukraine as well as a desire for distinctive name. Investor Humphrey Wager purchased 80 acres of farmland on Jordan Lake and plated the village in 1887. With the advantage of a station on the new railroad, the new village quickly eclipsed the former settlement at Bonanza, the village incorporated in 1889. John R Waite, a local man with an interest in history, has been credited with significant historical research for the village of Lake Odessa. John is also recognized as the president of the Lake Odessa Area Historical Society and is involved census the geography.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to see again you guys, I am researching this blindsided as I'm talking to you. Okay, let's talk, let's open up reddit. Okay, so this is a movie about the haunted lake that targets the family. Okay, so I did watch a movie. So this is about lake lannier and it reminded me of the movie I had seen about a lake with similar history. Pretty much, a family goes out to a lake in a family member drought. Eventually they return to the lake and someone in the family discovers that they are being haunted by the lake because their ancestors were slave owners or something similar, and they are being haunted by the people that were killed when the lake was made. This person says sounds like the episode of American Horror Story is called Lake. Yeah, so that's all on Reddit about that. So I don't know why I had this dream and this was again.
Speaker 1:This was this past spring, but I just found that that was so compelling that that was one of the places that showed up on a you know, a new download for this podcast and I had to share this with you guys. So we have, you know, we we go exploring everywhere and we're not really I hate I kind of hate the term ghost hunters now, because in this like last like year and a half, we have all agreed that we are more paranormal researchers. And again, you guys, our Facebook page is Macomb Paranormal Research Society. So that's kind of like why we made that Facebook page, because I don't put a lot of my podcast, my paranormal, my conspiracy theories, anything really, on my private Facebook, just because Facebook is so lame. Now, no offense, but it's just not what it used to be. So we decided to make this page so that you know, and let me tell you, it's really taking off. I mean, I have, well, here, there are 75 new friend requests today I just opened it up. So that should tell you how much people want to talk about these things, you know, and they want safe places. They don't want to be judged. You know we're past the taboo thing, right? So this page, again Facebook, is called Macomb Paranormal Research Society. We have over a thousand friends. Um, we do have 209 people following us.
Speaker 1:My feed for the um Buzzsprout for the podcast is on. It's. There's a link in my bio on here, um, and I have, you know, pictures of, of course, and even episodes of the podcast, so I think maybe I'm getting new listeners from that too. But this page is for our unofficial quote, unquote, unofficial team, which is pretty much just us ladies now Mys myself, christina, carissa, teresa, and you know we're just out there researching things, so bringing that up.
Speaker 1:So about the Belleville? So Soup Cemetery we have. We were introduced, um, we were introduced to Soup Cemetery. I'm trying to think of the right words to say because I didn't, I didn't know anything about this, but from the Dowling Brothers, tom and Scott shout out to them Thank you guys for showing us the cemetery. We've went here so many times and, like I think they used to get irritated with hearing Carissa and I like, oh, this place isn't haunted Because we never really had a lot of action. And I like, oh, this place isn't haunted Because we never really had a lot of action.
Speaker 1:Now, last year we took Christina her first time, aka Harry, and oh my goodness, we had so much things happen. We actually buy Elizabeth's soups, so Elizabeth's soup has two graves. She was known as the Belleville Witch and then she was like into witchcraft and this, and that, although her family claims that they have no record of her being involved with witchcraft, but anyways, by both of her graves at separate times, we have recordings, memories, of course me and Christina and pictures. So the first thing we both smelled was sulfur and it was so like pungent, like it was very, very, very strong. And then we Christina started snapping these pictures and well, that's when she started getting like the alien figures. You know, if you will, the alien heads and stuff Was actually at soup.
Speaker 1:That's how it started with the aliens, with the paranormal, and we're like what the fuck? So she went home that night, the first time at soup that she had been, you know, been there, and she was sleeping and her ass cause her phone was down by her ass Her ass literally must've hit the picture button or this little alien creature did, oh my God. So you all you see is her hip and like her leg, and this little alien dude is standing behind so like we don't know if he, you know, or it, her, whatever being took this picture or Christina's ass took it, but either way, she got the alien in the picture and ever since then she's had all these like weird things happen at the house. Her house was already haunted. But you know, that's another thing too, why I love having all these listeners, because you know, you guys, we're on the brink of, like all of us, in this research of paranormal and things that we can't explain.
Speaker 1:We are so close to understanding why everything is, you know, connected. You know paranormal UFO, uaps, ufos again. You know water and you know certain smells and screams and you know a lot of screams. We know can be animals, but there's certain patterns of things happening. And you know, being a female to a male voice, and you know we just went through that again what, a couple months ago, we had a man we didn't get it recorded, but we had a man screaming bloody murder, like help me, help me, help me. Like screaming so loud, and I'm thinking how does no one else hear that if all of us hear that? Well, that's the thing, some things are just not meant to be recorded.
Speaker 1:So now, two weeks ago, chris and I went to Soup Cemetery and we were, you know, we were on our ghost apps and we got all these downloads on, like the history of Belleville. Okay, so I'm looking through. Okay, so we got like Witchcraft, deacon, we kept getting Charles and Justin, we got the most craziest pictures of this, like crazy fog and it was getting thicker and thicker and thicker. We're sitting in the cemetery and I'm like, do you see this? Like we can't even see in front of us, and she's like I've never seen fog in the cemetery like this. So we have a lot of pictures of that. We have, um, we have screenshots of them saying like protect yourself, accidents will happen. Rural landscapes, oh. So here's another thing too.
Speaker 1:So last episode they're talking about like becoming spiritually awakened and how we're all having these strange symptoms. Well, I have been sneezing like crazy and they don't really feel like allergy sneezes, like they hurt and they're like super loud and intense. So I sneezed. I kept sneezing the other night and it said, achoo, um, okay, now I want to get down to. So we have. So we got catastrophic injuries. I died, id card, several minors so not like minor underage minors in like, where are you looking Underground tunnels? So we did look that up and there was underground tunnels in Belleville. So before I get into like the facts that we looked up, you know the underground tunnels and some other, um, you know cool facts about Belleville. So when we had come back into the cemetery I think it was either the second or the third time, because we left a couple times.
Speaker 1:We always do this I fell asleep, but not a deep sleep. So anyone that knows me and anyone that's been on this podcast will tell you me they would say when this girl sleeps like when she's in a deep sleep. They would say when this girl sleeps like when she's in a deep sleep, I will annoy the living, the dead, all of it, animals because I sleep so deep and I snore and I talk in my sleep. Sometimes my snores are like a whistle, sometimes they're like a deep snore. So you just never know what you're going to get. When I'm in a deep sleep.
Speaker 1:Now, when I kind of start to fall asleep but I'm not completely that in that like REM state, I guess you can my third eye will activate and I still don't know how to like. I don't know how to control that Like. I wish I could learn how to control my third eye and learn what I'm seeing in a conscious state and really understand it, but I don't. I still have not mastered that. Hopefully in this lifetime I will. So I start to zone out Didn't know that I was sleeping, which means, again, I wasn't really sleeping, but I was in a very relaxed state.
Speaker 1:So, carissa, at this point I don't know where she's at in the cemetery, but in my dream, which was again maybe 10 seconds, I was out I see this deer looking at us, huge, like fucking huge buck. I don't know what point buck, I mean, just big-ass antlers. It was a big, fat, juicy deer. And I'm like, oh, you know in my conscious self, wow, cool, a deer, excuse me. All of a sudden it starts running along the fence and I'm watching and then all of a sudden the deer disappears and this thing, it looks like a human but you can't see the head or the arms because it has a blanket over it and the blanket is covered with leaves, like what they use for hunting or back in the jungles in the war times. And then that starts running.
Speaker 1:I open my eyes and I'm telling Chris I said the tree line a deer. And then I think a person with a camouflage blanket, leaf thing on, and she's like okay. And I'm like, no, like I've seen it. She goes, I believe you, I go, no, like I've seen it, without looking, and she just looked over at me. I go, dude, I was sleeping. And she's like you were sleeping. I'm like you know how that happens to me sometimes, like you know how that happens to me sometimes. And she's like, oh yeah. And I'm like, no, I've seen it, but my eyes weren't open. And she goes, no, I really believe you. I said I know you do, but I'm so excited about this Sure shit when I finally gained full conscious, I'm looking and we're literally along the fence line. So I'm like, put your brights on and follow the fence. Like we have to see it, it just happened a few seconds ago. And she's like, okay, so she starts driving along and of course we didn't see anything. But I'm like I swear that just happened. Like, was I sleeping? Was I dreaming? Did that happen? My third eye I don't know, but I'm going to call it my third eye visual and again, you guys, I wish so bad that I could control it, because I could probably understand a lot more in the afterlife.
Speaker 1:Okay, so basically, they're saying that there is still underground tunnels near Belleville, michigan, including tunnels under the former Belleville West High School and the former Northland Center in Southfield. So if anyone is listening that's in the Belleville area or knows about Belleville. So when Carissa was looking this up, it kept saying I forgot what college. I think it was called Northland College, but that's where we wanted to go, right, well, there is no Northland College, but there's no record of it like being, you know, ripped down or what is in place of it, or blah, blah, blah. But I think that is the Northland Center. And also the Belleville High School was taken down and there's a new high school, so there is a lot going on there and, um, yeah, like who would have known that there was underground tunnels, so they were called pedestrian tunnels, that went underground from corner to corner to avoid waiting for heavy traffic to move along.
Speaker 1:Again, I'm trying to find about the mine, like the mining, okay, so dining, okay. So, hmm, alright, so Linda and Wood discovers untold paths and tunnels beneath Belleville campus. Now, when you look this up, this is what I wanted to get to, okay, cause she was doing that on her phone the other night. So this is Belleville, illinois, right, this is what this article is about, but it also is about Belleville, michigan, but it doesn't like it. It doesn't like it. It doesn't, um, what's the word? It doesn't match up.
Speaker 1:So we are like super fucking confused, and this has happened a lot of times when we've been places, you know, and it's like, it's kind of like they just stop talking about what we're looking for in Michigan and they talk about something else, but it both of it connects. So there's a lot, a lot, and you know, detroit has a lot of tunnels and like, even like the Belle Isle Park, the tunnels in the 1970s. So, again, you guys, thank you for listening out there, because now it has even lit a bigger fire up my ass, if you will, and it got me going on this idea of, okay, so these listeners, this is connected. There's a reason why they're listening from these parts and I need to go to these locations and I need to investigate. I need to investigate and I need to do a lot of research.
Speaker 1:My favorite is researching, coming back and having facts and we're like, wow, that's awesome and that's why we own all these books. You know, that's why we're constantly buying books, we're educating ourselves, we're reading. You know a lot goes into this. This isn't like, hey, we put on, you know, spooky things like spooky music, or we, you know, put on our spirit boxes or these spooky apps, and you know we tussle around and navigate through these outdoor places or sometimes even indoors, and we just do it for entertainment, which we are entertained, of course, and we enjoy and we have a passion, but really what this comes down to is like having facts right and learning about history that nobody talks about, and a lot of this history will be gone in years to come. So again, again, again, again, again, over and over and over.
Speaker 1:You guys, thank you for listening, thank you for being part of those 500 listeners that are enjoying this. And again, you guys, please email us. Ghost sisters 2124 at Gmail.
