Greenbrier Ghost #1: 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.
