Zona's Revenge | M.P. Pellicer

Since time immemorial there have been stories of the spirits of murder victims coming back to point a finger at their killer and seek justice for themselves.

Such is the sad story of Zona Heaster Shue who lived in rural West Virginia at the turn of the 20th century.

ZONA AND THE STRANGER

Born Elva Zona Heaster in 1873, in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, Zona’s life is something of a mystery before she met her eventual husband Erasmus Stribbling “Trout” Shue in 1896. Shockingly only a year prior to their meeting, the records of Greenbrier County indicate that when she was twenty-two years old on November 29, 1895, she bore an illegitimate male child, who’s supposed father was an unskilled laborer named George Woldridge.
