The Greenbrier Ghost case is considered one of the most unusual murder trials in American history.
In 1897, the mysterious death of Zona Heaster Shue rocked the small town of Lewisburg in Greenbriar County, West Virginia. Shortly after her death, Zona's mother claimed to have been visited in the middle of the night by her daughter's ghost, claiming to know the identity of her killer.
The trial and conviction that followed would go down in history as the first and only murder trial that hinged on the legal testimony of a ghost.
