The moment Melissa McCarty joins our conversation, we’re thrust into a world where the veil between the living and dead is remarkably thin. Introducing herself as the “Outlaw Psychic,” Melissa immediately captivates with spine-tingling stories that blur the boundaries between history, the supernatural, and family legacy.
From her rest home in Oregon where she’s recovering from multiple near-death experiences that amplified her abilities, Melissa recounts her first ghostly encounter at just three years old—confronting and banishing a malevolent spirit threatening her infant sister. This early display of strength against supernatural forces set the tone for a lifetime of extraordinary psychic experiences. She explains how her brush with death—surviving two heart attacks, a stroke, and two flat lines—has only strengthened her connection to the spirit world, allowing her to see ghosts with such clarity that she often cannot distinguish them from the living.
But what truly distinguishes Melissa’s story is her remarkable heritage. Through meticulous genealogical research, she discovered her biological connection to Wild West legends like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and lawman Wyatt Earp. This “outlaw blood” runs deep—she recounts chilling moments when the spirits of these historical figures entered her life, including a terrifying encounter with Pat Garrett and other lawmen whose eyes glowed red as they pointed their weapons at her. Most astonishing is her claim that in a past life, she was Billy the Kid’s first wife, with marriage records from 1871 to support this connection.
Melissa’s psychic abilities extend beyond personal experience. She details her work with law enforcement, including helping solve multiple cases with information she received through psychic impressions. From witnessing murder scenes replayed in spiritual form to helping fellow rest home residents cross over after death, her abilities serve both the living and the dead.
Whether you’re a believer in psychic phenomena or a curious skeptic, Melissa’s colorful life story—filled with outlaw ancestry, ghostly encounters, and near-death experiences—offers a fascinating glimpse into a world most of us never see. Explore more of her extraordinary journey across her social media channels or through her upcoming books on shamanism and her life as the Outlaw Psychic.
