In January 1897, Zona Heaster Shue was found dead in her home in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, just months after marrying a charming newcomer named Edward Shue. Her death was quickly ruled natural, and she was buried with little fuss.
But her mother, Mary Jane Heaster, never believed it. She claimed that over four nights, Zona’s spirit came to her and described exactly how she died, and exactly who killed her.
What happened next is one of the strangest chapters in American legal history. A mother’s ghost story led to an exhumation, an autopsy, and a murder trial. The case is often called the only one in the U.S. where a ghost’s testimony helped convict a killer.
We covered the Greenbrier Ghost last October, and it’s stayed with us ever since. It’s one of the most interesting and genuinely haunting cases we’ve covered. So we’ve given it a full remaster and are re-releasing it for spooky season.
This one is also a throwback to the original Crime Clueless lineup: Laura and I recorded it with our sisters Chrysta and Kayla, so if you’re newer to the show, you’ll get to meet the rest of the family.
Laura and I have both been down with colds, (leaving us not sounding our best) and couldn’t record for this week. We felt like this was the perfect time to dust off a favorite. New episodes are coming soon. Until then, grab a blanket, turn off the lights, and listen to the ghost who wouldn’t stay quiet.
