Greenbrier County Courthouse

Lewisburg, WV

This is the courthouse where Erasmus Shue was tried for the 1897 murder of his wife Zona, the crime at the center of the Greenbrier Ghost legend. The building remains a functioning courthouse, so it is a legitimate historical stop rather than a paranormal attraction and visitors should behave accordingly during business hours.
