The Greenbrier Ghost: And Other Strange Stories

Long a favorite among West Virginians, Deitz s Greenbrier Ghost tells the story of the only trial in the United States where the testimony of a ghost was used to convict a man! This man, Edward Shue, was convicted of killing his young wife, Heaster, and sentenced to life in prison. He met his fate because the judge allowed Heaster s mother to testify to information she swore came from her daughter . . . from beyond the grave! An autopsy confirmed the cause of death, which was just as Heaster s ghost had told her mother. Readers will also enjoy the many other wonderful tales compiled here by Dennis Dietz.
