greenbrier ghost

Didn't think a murder victim could return from the grave demanding justice? Think again! In this episode, we're heading back to West Virginia to the murder trial of Zona Heaster Shue, more commonly known as the Greenbrier Ghost.  Strange occurrences surrounded the death of Zona, like the high-necked collar her husband dressed her in immediately after her death, but none so strange as the ghostly encounter her mother Mary witnessed four separate times. If you're still not convinced ghosts are among us, tune in to Episode 16 for all the compelling details. You'll also be treated with sure-fire proof of aliens, ooky spooky dream stories,  and Halee's delicious cream cheese brownies. Happy Haunting! 

In this episode we discuss the death of Zona Heaster Shue, a  young bride, who was found dead in her West Virginia  home on January 23, 1897.  The circumstances of Zona’s death have been shrouded in mystery due to rumors about her husband Erasmus Stribbling “Trout” Shue and to Mary Heaster’s story about her daughter visiting her from beyond the grave.  I’m not sure if this story should be classified as a ghost story or murder mystery, but it is an interesting tale.  Listen to our latest and maybe you will be able to answer who or what caused Zona Heaster Shue’s death, and if a ghost was responsible for a guilty man being convicted of murder.
