2. The Greenbrier Ghost Testified in Her Own Murder Trial

In 1897, a young woman died under mysterious circumstances in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Her death might’ve gone unnoticed—until her mother claimed she returned from the grave with a shocking truth. This isn’t just a ghost story—it’s a legal case where spectral testimony helped convict a killer. We walk through the legend, the court records, and the folk beliefs that gave voice to the dead. This episode explores justice, grief, and what happens when the living aren’t the only ones speaking.
