10. Greenbrier Ghost

This name has particularly been given to the ghost of a young Virginian woman, Zona Shue, who was murdered in 1897 by her cruel and abusive husband, Erasmus Stribbling Trout Shue. Initially the reason behind Zona's death was considered to be everlasting faint or childbirth, but later when the case was reopened it was found that her husband only killed her. The amazing part of the story was how the events unfolded after her death. Zona's mother was the only person who suspected Erasmus to be the murderer and later she claimed to have been visited by Zona's ghost for about four nights where she revealed the secret of her death. She told her mother, how brutally Erasmus had abused her and broke her neck. Later, when the case was reopened and autopsy was done, Erasmus was arrested and this incident became a prominent one in American legal history for the testimony of a ghost was accepted as the prime evidence in a murder trial.
