Yep. I live in WV and I have seen the marker. I haven't been to the cemetery, but I would like to see it one day. I learned about it when I was a child, probably about 8 or 9 when my mom got me a book about the greenbriar ghost and more stories about wv ghosts. It's a really amazing case.

There are other, if not so famous, spirits who have solved their own murders. Where I grew up, a spirit came back to the bridge he had been pushed from onto the train tracks to fall down again and again and from the way he fell it was clear it had not been suicide. The killer confessed after seeing it for herself.
