In 1897, a young bride in rural West Virginia was found dead at the bottom of her stairs. Her husband insisted it was natural causes. The doctor called it “an everlasting faint.”

The case would have ended there—if not for her mother’s shocking claim: that her daughter’s ghost had appeared night after night, revealing she had been murdered.

What followed is one of the strangest true crime stories in American history: the Greenbrier Ghost case, where spectral testimony became part of a real murder trial.

In this episode, we dig into the chilling details of Zona Heaster Shue’s death, her mother’s relentless fight for justice, and the trial that blurred the line between folklore and the courtroom.

Was it divine intervention? Maternal instinct? Or something darker at work in the Appalachian night?
