Geocache Description:

ExploreWV's
Haunted Challenge

Greenbrier Ghost


Photobucket

ExploreWV’s third geocaching series is Haunted WV, which takes geocachers to 20 of the Mountain State’s spookiest locations – that’s asylums, prisons, cemeteries, and much more. Some of these cache sites have even been featured on TV shows such as SyFy’s Ghost Hunters, TLC’s Ghost Adventures, and MTV’s Fear.

Keeping with ExploreWV tradition, there will be a challenge associated with the Haunted WV series. If you choose to complete the challenge, you must “collect the ghosts” in each geocache and place them on an official Haunted WV Bingo Card. The first 100 people to complete the challenge will be awarded a limited-edition Haunted WV t-shirt so you can let everyone know that you’ve been spooked in West Virginia. (Limited sizes available)

To register for the Haunted WV series and to download your Haunted WV Bingo Card, visit us online at Geocache WV. You may also add us on Facebook at Explore WV.

Perhaps one of the most famous and unique ghost stories ever, the Greenbrier Ghost is the tale of Zona Heaster Shue, who is known as the only ghost to testify in her own murder trial. In the late 1800s, Zona was found dead at the bottom of her stairs, in which her husband reported her falling and untimely death were simply an accident. Two weeks after her death, Zona apparently appeared at her mother’s bedside and confessed that her husband had pushed her down the stairs, breaking her neck. After the mother’s pleading, an autopsy was performed and it was discovered that Zona did in fact die from a broken neck and her injuries were not sustained from an accidental fall. Her husband was tried for the crime and found guilty, and Zona was finally able to rest in peace.

Please use etiquette and be courteous when geocaching and place the container exactly where you found it. If there are any problems with the cache including maintenance alerts, please inform ExploreWV as soon as possible. Do not wander far from the cache site and be aware that some of these locations may not be suitable for the faint of the heart.

Special thanks to WVLEND for placing and maintaining this geocache.
