Prosecutors called it one of the only times in American legal history a Ouija board was formally entered into evidence, because it was the only thing in the room that explained the motive.

It started like any other night at Brian and Tammy Roach's house in Minco, Oklahoma — a farming town of about 1,400 people. Tammy's mother, Carol Sue Elvaker, was over, like she was most evenings. Fifty-three years old. No cr...

The only known case where a ghost's testimony helped convict a murderer.

In 1897, Zona Heaster Shue was found dead at the bottom of the stairs in her West Virginia home. The coroner ruled it natural causes — until her ghost allegedly appeared to her mother and named her killer. What followed became one of the strangest true crime cases in American history.
