129 years ago, Elva Zona Heaster Shue was found dead in her home in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Her husband, Erasmus Shue, claimed it was natural causes.

Elva was buried in a stiff-collared dress, and the case seemed closed—until her mother, Mary, said Elva’s ghost came to her in a dream and revealed the truth: “My neck was squeezed off at the first joint.”

Authorities reopened the case. Elva’s body was exhumed, and doctors found her neck was broken and her windpipe crushed—clear signs of strangulation.

Erasmus was arrested. The jury believed Mary’s ghost story and the medical evidence. After just one hour, he was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.

He died three years later during the 1900 flu epidemic. His motive? Still a mystery—but he had a violent past.
