Regarding the Melon Heads:
I know someone who works at the Holden Arboretum in Kirtland. The house at the end of Wisner Rd., that is before the dead end, is the Arboretum’s property. A lot of people believe it to be the home of the melon heads, but it is really rented by the Arboretum to a radio personality.
People get in trouble for going there because of it being private property.
I have heard that the melon heads live beyond the dead end in the woods, possibly in an old insane asylum. Supposedly the road continues back there through the woods and you can find the old house.
My ex husband use to be the Chief of Police at the Arboretum, there were always numerous stories surrounding wisner road and the melon heads. Been out there plenty of times hiking in those woods day and night looking for them, we found nothing. The man that rented the house on the hill was a cameraman well known and won many radio awards. He was very nice but not when teenagers would go looking for the infamous melon heads on the hill by his place.
