The Tales We Tell

Ep. 112: The Greenbrier Ghost

May 18, 2022 Hannah Partsch

In Greenbrier County, WV there is a historical marker that commemorates the ghost of Zona Heaster, who returned to her mother (with some unsettling antics) to detail her own murder in 1897. This week, Hannah tells Katy the story of the Greenbrier Ghost: the only recorded time that a ghost’s testimony was used to convict said ghost’s killer. The girls are full of tangents in this episode, and more than a little distracted by the handsomeness of this particular killer. 

So pour your drink of choice, light the candles, and settle in for this spooky tale!
