Perhaps ghosts haven't helped solve their own murders as dramatically as portrayed in fiction --or have they? I\u2019ll let you be the judge of that as we explore a few such cases in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes.
\n
\nWe start off by examining the case of Zona Heaster Shue, a.k.a. The Greenbrier Ghost. A historical marker in West Virginia declares hers is the only known case in which testimony from a ghost helped convict a murderer.
\n
\nTestimony entered into trial may not have factored into Teresita Basa or Rebecca Cornell's murderers being brought to justice, but the ghosts of these women did materialize to help catch their killers.
