We are aware there is a glitch near the very end of the episode, where the audio cuts into the intro music. There was a glitch when exporting the finished file, but since it doesn't interfere with the important parts of the story, we'll be fixing it at a later time. Sorry about that, y'all!

In this episode we dive into the story of Zona Heaster Shue, and how she came back from beyond the grave to solve her own murder and seek justice for herself. It is the only known case of a ghost solving, well, any murder, and it's quite the rollercoaster ride! This is an episode you do NOT want to miss!

There's a lot to explore in this architectural marvel of a home.

After you've given us a listen, head on over to Instagram to check out Hooked On Pam! She's creating some absolutely awesome crocheted masterpieces, including a lil Sam from Trick r' Treat she made just for me! Shoot her a DM to ask about commissions!
