Just when you think the call logs couldn’t get any stranger, the universe says, “Hold my drink.” This week, we’re talking about uninvited juvies possibly spiking a camping trip water supply, a rogue monkey, allegations of digital surveillance, and a group allegedly destroying headstones without so much as a permission slip. Small-town life may not always be quiet—but it sure is entertaining.
Let’s unpack this latest batch of oddities, shall we?

The Unplanned Acid Trip Incident

A grandmother reported that after dropping off her grandson at camp, he was picked up by another parent due to someone allegedly putting drugs in the water supply. She believes uninvited juvies snuck in and caused the issue, and now her grandson is on a bad acid trip and back in Auburn.
The only thing worse than uninvited campers is when they bring psychedelics to the hydration station. Honestly, this feels less like a pranked camping trip and more like a rejected plotline from Euphoria.
Monkey on the Move

Someone called to report a small monkey running across the road. Just…casually.
I don’t even have a joke here—this is peak Nevada County. Was it someone’s pet? A circus dropout? An infant bigfoot who had been separated from it’s mom? The possibilities are endless.
The Camera Conspiracy

A woman called in claiming her ex was “terrorizing” her. According to her, he placed hidden cameras throughout her house and is controlling her phone remotely. When asked to show proof, she stated she couldn’t see the cameras in her home—but insisted the surveillance was real. She was advised to take her phone to a professional to have it checked for hacking.
This is either a legitimate tech-based nightmare or the world’s most committed ex-boyfriend cosplaying as the NSA. Either way, cellphone vibes were not neutral that day.
Grave Situation at the Cemetery

A caller reported that eight people from “Mountain Enterprises” were destroying headstones and were not authorized to be on the property.
Now, I know what Mountain Enterprises usually does so this is going to be hard to explain on Yelp. Not to mention, with spooky season upon us that’s a sure fire way to get haunted well into your next life.
