Using HTTPS instead OF HTTP Results in A Totally Different Website

I went to access a website that I work with, accidentally entering in HTTPS instead of HTTP; I do have a basic understanding that the HTTPS is secured socket.  But this leads to completely different web sites!  

Ours is correct on HTTP, but the site available on HTTPS is not affiliated with us.

Any ideas where I start and/or what I should look at?

Thanks In Advance!

I should have noted that the one that is incorrect results in a certificate error, and I must confirm to proceed to the site.


The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid.
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

The site that is incorrect is https://www_graspinc_org

The underscores are periods.  Not sure if it is possible for that type of information to be mined from sites like this.
