Before you ask, no, I'm not trying to hide a body. I have a paper due in my WV history class tonight and I am doing part of the paper on the Greenbrier Ghost. (I know, due tonight, I am such a slacker)
Part of the "legend" says that Mary Jane Heaster (victim's mother) removed the sheet from the coffin after the wake. The wake and burial were held the day after Zona Heaster Shue was murdered. Mary Jane noted that the sheet had an "odd odor." So I'm just curious as to how long after death that a body would start to smell.
And this would have been back in January of 1897 so it was probably cold already anyway and Shue would not have been embalmed.
