We had a listener ask: “What is the most haunted place in Nashville?” Instead of scoffing — it's a question that seems impossible to answer — we came up with a ranking system and looked into some of the city's infamously haunted places. Paranormal investigators join us to debate what might count as the most haunted, and we also hear from some of our most creepy-curious listeners!Learn more and see photos at the Curious Nashville website.Guests: Alex Migliorini, ghost tour guide Missy Lavieri, owner of Nashville Paranormal Matt Ollis, lead paranormal tour guide at Haunted Nashville
Typically, the Curious Nashville team assigns reporters to answer your questions. Today, we’re taking everything we’ve learned in the past decade and turning it into the Curious Nashville Quiz Show! And who better to stump than WPLN’s very own Blake Farmer and Nina Cardona?This episode was first broadcast on 90.3 WPLN as a live radio call-in.
For decades, celebrities signed autographs on marble slabs inside the Belle Meade Theatre. But the ornate theater has been vacant, so whatever happened to the "wall of fame?" Cynthia Abrams takes Curious Nashville in search of the celebrity slabs, and finds local cinematic history along the way.
Elm Hill Pike may be an industrial artery in Nashville now, but it was once a main thoroughfare with a rich history. But listener Chad Smith wonders:“Elm Hill Pike is very hilly. Where is the actual elm hill?”The investigation pushes WPLN’s Blake Farmer to hop on a bike and ride the length of the road. The journey takes him into some rich city history and to a dead end across the county line — but that doesn’t mean the answer is elusive.
If you know where to look, there's a god frolicking amid Nashville's skyline. It's the mythological messenger Mercury, gleaming at the top of the Union Station clock tower. But he's had his share of ups and downs, and once fell in 1952.WPLN listener Christina called to ask:"We have a very primitive replica up there. But the original, I'm wondering where it could be!?"Curious Nashville chases down what happened next, some interesting ties to local history and landmarks, and even an infamous storm.
