On this day, 112 years ago, Zona Heaster was found dead in West Virginia, leading to the case of the Greenbrier Ghost and perhaps the only murder conviction in American judiciary history based on the alleged testimony of a ghost.

A doctor had declared Zona died from complications due to her pregnancy. But Heaster’s mother immediately suspected that her son-in-law, Erasmus Shue, was behind her death, saying, “The devil has killed her.”
