What would you do if you stumbled upon an invention that could revolutionize the world but found yourself facing mysterious threats? Join us as we explore the enigmatic life and death of Stanley Meyer, a man whose water-powered car invention promised to shift the paradigms of the automotive industry and environmental conservation. With the intrigue of Meyer's staggering claims and his haunting last words, "they poisoned me," we question the official narrative of his passing. Was he merely a man who succumbed to natural causes, or was his untimely demise a case of foul play driven by those threatened by his groundbreaking ideas?
As we navigate the puzzling circumstances surrounding his death, we dissect the unproven science behind his bold invention and its potential to drastically reduce carbon emissions. Despite the failure to patent or conclusively demonstrate the feasibility of the water-powered vehicle, Meyer's aspirations captured the public's imagination. Our discussion dives into the mysterious motives and personalities involved in this unresolved case, provoking thought on what might have been had Meyer's vision successfully materialized. Whether you're a science aficionado or a lover of unsolved mysteries, this episode promises to captivate and challenge your understanding of innovation and conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, welcome back to Strange, strange Beyond
, insane, and this is your host,melissa, and I want to talk
about Stanley Meyer.
So his death was extremelymysterious, but before we get
into all of that, let's kind ofgo over you.
Know what he was famous for, bythe way?
(00:22):
I did not know anything aboutthis guy.
Know what he was famous for, bythe way?
I did not know anything aboutthis guy.
My husband was actually tellingme about this man about a year
ago and it was very interesting.
So of course I had to look itup and I knew at some point I
wanted to do a podcast episodeon him.
All right, so Stanley Meyer was57 years old when he died
(00:42):
unexpectedly at a restaurant inFranklin County, ohio.
Meyer claimed to have inventeda water-powered car which would
have revolutionized automechanics and once done a great
deal in preventing the carbonfootprint humans leave behind.
However, his theory was neverproven nor patented, so he died
(01:04):
before he even had the chance.
On March 21, 1998, stanley Meyerallegedly ordered cranberry
juice as a dessert beveragewhile out to lunch, as he and
those accompanying him wrappedup the meal.
Yet before they could finish,meyer began to choke after the
first sip, running out of therestaurant, he collapsed in the
(01:28):
parking lot and Meyer'sunsettling last words were Later
.
As more research was carriedout on the scene and Meyer's
autopsy was completed,detectives came to the
conclusion that Meyer sufferedfrom a brain aneurysm as he had
experienced previous episodes ofhypertension.
(01:48):
The cranberry juice did notshow to contain any sort of
poisons during the toxicologyanalysis.
Okay, so basically, they didnot show, or they didn't see,
any signs of poisons inside ofhim.
But why would his last wordssay that they poisoned me?
(02:08):
The case was closed and StanleyMyers' death was simply brushed
aside as that of a man in hislate 50s who passed of natural
causes.
Maybe more people would buy thisexplanation if it weren't for
three things His last words,like I just said, his car and
his claims.
Maybe more people would buythis explanation if it weren't
for three things His last words,like I just said, his car and
(02:29):
his claims.
First, it was certainly quitemysterious that his last words
were they poisoned me.
He had been sitting at thetable with a smaller group, and
some say that the group was hisfriends and brothers, while
others say that they wereBelgian businessmen looking to
do business involved withMeyer's invention.
The part of this that reallyunsettles me is that the
(02:52):
question of who they quoteunquote is like who they're
referring to.
Right, if he really did believethat he was poisoned, did he
believe it was one of the mensitting at the table with him or
somehow an employee of therestaurant was opposed to his
inventions and they wanted himdead?
So maybe someone you know likean inside job, they got hired,
(03:15):
okay.
Or did maybe he believe thatsomeone had tracked him all the
way down to his restaurant forthe poison and be sure of the
(03:38):
whereabouts of Stanley Meyer?
Say he was poisoned by someonewho was furious or threatened by
his inventions?
It likely would have been oneof the following people A staff
worker at the restaurant, one ofhis table mates, which I
personally find both to beunlikely.
I mean, like why someone at therestaurant would care, I mean,
(04:00):
unless it was an inside job thatleaves only outside sources
that could be responsible forthe number.
I'm sorry for the murder ofMeyer, poisoned or not poisoned.
There is a vital piece of thestory that we have yet to really
figure out, and there is anewspaper that details Meyer's
(04:23):
alleged water-powered car,courtesy of the Classic Car
Trust.
Meyer claimed to have inventeda car that runs solely on water.
He allegedly was able to usethe particles that water is made
up of to use water as asubstitute for fuel.
Science is not my strong suit,obviously.
(04:43):
However, to the right of anexpert from one of many news
articles that covered Meyer'sdeath, it shows how the science
behind a water-powered car mightbe able to work.
The tricky part of thisinvention is that Meyer was
never able to patent hisinvention.
He was never even able toreally prove that his theory had
(05:05):
even worked.
This water-powered car wouldhave changed the world.
Do you know how many carbonemissions are released into the
atmosphere each year just viaone driver, which we know?
Roughly 4.6 metric tons ofcarbon dioxide?
Transportation is such asignificant factor that plays
into the climate change andglobal warming, as emissions
(05:29):
release pollutants into the air,and we know this.
I mean even with the newer cars.
Now we know what we'rebreathing right Every time we
walk outside, just from cars.
Okay, so with a water-poweredcar, these problems would likely
rapidly decrease.
(05:49):
Are you also thinking toyourself?
Less pollution and healthierenvironment.
How could people possibly beagainst this?
Well, people love money and itis often a deciding factor in
people's everyday lives, eventhough it may cause them to not
make the best or environmentallyfriendly decisions.
(06:10):
Coal, oil and natural gas areamongst the cheapest natural
resources, and they are oftenused for fuel.
Coal and oil are non-renewableresources.
However, we continue to usemassive amounts of them.
Not only do they continue topollute and harm the environment
, but eventually we will run out.
(06:32):
Now that is all clearly very,very bad.
Why would we not try to find asolution similar to Stanley
Meyer, which I would think?
Obviously, electric cars, right.
That's why they're pushing somuch.
However, I will argue withanyone until I'm blue in the
face.
Our whole entire world is notreally ready for all electric,
(06:54):
right, like we really haven't,you know, figured out how to,
you know, put the right voltage,um, you know, in our houses for
cheap, you know cheaply costs,I should say, to run, you know,
that kind of power to a vehicle.
And until they, until thegovernment comes and figures
(07:20):
that out for all of us, where wedon't have to pay for that, I'm
sticking with gas.
I would never, ever driveelectric until the world is
ready for it.
And, like I said, we're notready for it yet.
Okay, so why not use more solarpanels and windmills, since
those are better alternatives.
(07:40):
Well, remember what we talkedabout money.
People want cheap inputs withquick, extravagant outputs, even
if it isn't better in the longrun.
They make more money throughcheap and lazy methods.
It is perfect for them and very, you know, terrible for our
(08:02):
planet.
Right, and it's every all thehabitats.
But this is why Stanley Meyer'sinvention was so intriguing.
So I I I agree with all this,but again, like if the
government isn't going to help,I agree with all this, but again
, if the government isn't goingto help, the price that you
(08:22):
would even have to pay just togo to All Electric.
If I go and buy an electric cartomorrow, I still have to find
charging ports to go charge itat.
If I don't have one at my house, right, and those are very
limited.
So that's what I mean.
Our world is not set up for it.
The last factor that plays intowhy this case is so suspicious,
(08:44):
and it's because he claims tohave received several threats
from oil companies.
Now, this was Stanley Meyer, hesaid, as well as bribes of
millions of dollars if he woulddestroy all of his evidence.
It is clear that some peoplewere extremely unhappy with
Meyer's alleged discoveries.
However, would someone go asfar as to take his life?
(09:04):
It's kind of hard to believethat, but then it's not.
You know, if he hadn't patentedit, you know, like I don't, I'm
sorry.
If he did patent it, I think itwould be more probable.
But since he didn't, I meanunless someone or something
stopped him from doing that.
(09:25):
But while money can lead toamazing discoveries, money can
also create monsters.
We know this.
Money is the root of all evil.
So I don't know if I believethat Stanley Meyer was poisoned
during his lunch on March 21st1998.
The toxicology reports showthere's no traces of poison.
(09:49):
But I do believe that there'smore to Meyer's story and some
of it will likely never beuncovered or no one's even going
to understand it or even dig,you know, deep enough, as more
parts of this case have been andmay continue to be revealed
through witnesses, claims,judges and Meyer's history.
Maybe the missing pieces willone day, you know, convey like a
(10:14):
new explanation for thedevastating death of Stanley
Meyer.
Um, yeah, so that is whathappened with him.
I thought that was veryinteresting story.
I just find it weird howthere's no evidence that I mean
there is evidence that he wasworking on this, but like why
would he had not patented, likethat was such you know beyond
(10:37):
the time, then you know.
So I don't know, it's just very, very suspicious.
All right, so there there aresome really unsettling stories
about previous inventors of theworld.
Okay, so I wanted to add tothis episode the forgotten
cancer cure.
So Royal Reif, an Americaninventor and researcher, claimed
(10:58):
to have developedgroundbreaking medical
technology in the early 20thcentury.
His most notable invention, theRite machine, was said to use
specific electromagneticfrequencies to destroy harmful
pathogens, including cancercells, without damaging healthy
tissue.
In the 1930s, reif claimed histreatments had successfully
(11:23):
cured patients of terminalillness during experimental
trials.
However, his work was neverwidely accepted by the medical
community.
Reif's research facedincreasing hostility from
established medical authorities,including the American Medical
Association.
He alleged that the AMA,pharmaceutical companies and
(11:47):
other influential groupsconspired to discredit him,
fearing his device wouldthreaten the profit-driven
medical industry.
Would threaten theprofit-driven medical industry.
No-transcript.
After he died in 1971,reportedly from
(12:10):
alcoholism-related complications, conspiracy theories arose that
his revolutionary cancertreatments were suppressed to
protect the pharmaceuticalindustry's interests, ensuring
that his once-promising researchremains shrouded in mystery.
All right, so here's anothershort story that I really like,
(12:33):
and this is the Forgotten Fatherof Film.
Louis Lee Prince was on theverge of revolutionizing the
world of entertainment in thelate 19th century with his
invention of motion pictureMotion Picture Technology,
predating Thomas Edison's work.
In 1888, he successfully filmedRoundhay Garden Scene, a short
(12:58):
sequence considered the firstmotion picture in history.
By 1890, le Prince waspreparing to showcase his
invention publicly in the UnitedStates, a move that could have
centered his place as a fatherof cinema.
However, he mysteriouslyvanished while traveling a train
from Dijon to Paris.
(13:20):
His body was never found and nobelongings surfaced, leaving
his work overshadowed by Edisonand other contemporaries.
I mean, if that's not suspiciousas hell, I don't know what is
Okay.
So this one is about Don Wiley.
So he was a leading expert inchemical weaponry, most notably
(13:44):
anthrax.
During 2001, the anthraxepidemic, wiley's car was found
on a bridge with the key stillin the ignition.
His body was later found in theMississippi River.
Another anthrax scientist namedVeldemer Pashnik also died
around the same time.
(14:05):
We still don't know who wasmailing anthrax to unsuspecting
people, which makes these deathseven more creepy.
Could the scientists have beeninvolved, or did someone want to
shut them up so that theycouldn't stop the infections.
So, very interesting.
I mean, this is all very, verysus if you ask me.
(14:28):
But you know what they say gowoke, you go broke.
Basically, like you know, whenyou know too much, you die in
some crazy way.
So if you have some really coolfucking invention out there, be
(14:48):
careful who you tell, becareful how you spread it, even
nowadays.
I mean, look at all the famouspeople that speak up about
anything right, and they end updead.
And another really good,suspicious story like that is
Prince the musician.
He was talking about thechemtrails in the sky and he was
(15:11):
doing research on that and hadsome breakthroughs about it and
was sharing it with people.
And you know next thing, youknow he was, you know, dead or
unalived, whatever you want tocall it.
But yeah, so I thought this wasvery interesting.
And again, my I'm going to saymy last thought on our first um,
(15:36):
you know our first topic, uh,stanley Meyer.
I it's really hard for me tosay that he was poisoned.
I'm going to say no, um, that'sjust Just because of the fact
that he never got his carpatented and there wasn't really
solid evidence that he reallymade this car and it was working
(15:57):
right.
So I'm going to have to saythat's a solid no for me.
But all the rest of the stories,these short stories, definitely
very suspicious and, as always,if you guys have anything to
add to these short littlestories on this episode, please
let us know.
If you have anything you wantto talk about or ideas for us,
(16:17):

That is, ghost sisters 2124 atGmail.
We are on Facebook, tiktok,twitter, twitter, youtube I'm
sorry Twitter X, twitter X,whatever it's called.
So there's a lot of ways to geta hold of us.
And again, thank you always forlistening and stay tuned for
(16:41):
more.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
