In this episode, we kick things off by examining a massive criminal indictment that reveals the scope of organized freight fraud across the United States. Federal prosecutors have charged eight individuals in an alleged international conspiracy that stole at least ten million dollars in cargo over a three-year period, targeting everything from electronics and liquor to meat and cryptocurrency mining machines. The criminal organization allegedly impersonated legitimate carriers to obtain transportation contracts, then diverted freight and removed tracking devices before selling the stolen goods. Meanwhile, the industry is fighting back against this pervasive fraud threat with powerful new technology tools. We explore how AscendTMS has integrated SearchCarriers into its carrier verification platform, giving freight brokers and shippers access to real-time carrier and broker data at no additional cost. This collaboration is designed to help transportation providers combat freight fraud, double brokering, identity theft and unsafe carrier selection while simplifying due diligence across over sixty-nine thousand companies worldwide. Finally, we shift over to the rails to discuss the challenges facing major equipment manufacturers in a tough market environment. Railcar maker Greenbrier reported weaker second-quarter earnings as lower railcar deliveries weighed on revenue, with earnings per share coming in at just forty-seven cents versus eighty-nine cents in analyst estimates. Despite serious margin pressure, management raised the quarterly dividend by six percent and updated full-year guidance upward, signaling continued confidence in cash generation.

The Greenbrier Ghost is one of the strangest true crime cases in American history: a West Virginia murder trial where testimony about a ghost helped expose the truth.In 1897, Elva Zona Heaster Shue was found dead in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Her husband, Erasmus Stribbling “Trout” Shue, quickly took control of her body, covered her neck, and helped rush her toward burial before a complete medical examination could be performed. At first, Zona's death was treated as natural.Then her mother, Mary Jane Heaster, claimed Zona returned from the grave.According to Mary, her daughter appeared to her over four nights and revealed that Trout had broken her neck. When authorities exhumed Zona's body, doctors found a broken neck, a crushed windpipe, and evidence of violent death. What had been buried as a tragic natural death became a murder investigation.This episode of Terrifying & True examines the real Greenbrier Ghost case, the murder of Zona Heaster Shue, the 1897 trial of E. S. Shue, the role of ghost testimony in court, the exhumation that changed everything, and the mystery of whether Mary Jane Heaster saw a spirit, had a vision, followed intuition, or used folklore to force justice.Was the Greenbrier Ghost truly a voice from beyond the grave? Or was this the story of a grieving mother who refused to let her daughter's murder stay buried?We're telling that story tonight.

West Virginia's hills are steeped in more than just mist; they hold secrets that have shaped American legal history and legends that haunt the iron rails. In this episode, we dive into two of the Mountain State's most chilling "classic" ghost stories.First, we travel to Greenbrier County to recount the tragic life and afterlife of Zona Heaster Shue. After her sudden death in 1897, her mother claimed Zona's spirit returned from the grave to reveal the terrifying truth about her husband, Erasmus "Trout" Shue. It remains the only known case in U.S. history where a ghost's testimony helped secure a murder conviction.Next, we head to the historic confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers in Harpers Ferry. We explore the tragic legend of Screaming Jenny, a kind-hearted woman whose life ended in a ball of fire and a collision with a train. To this day, engineers and locals claim to see her flaming specter racing down the tracks, her cries still echoing through the valley.Join us as we explore these foundational tales of Appalachian folklore—where the veil between the living and the dead is as thin as the mountain air.Have your own story?
