The Life and Death of Nashville's Most Notorious Lady of the Night

Dalen and Mark introduce you to Why They Haunt, and the first story is W-I-L-D WILD! They take you back to the 1880s and introduce you to a wayward lady by the name of Birdie Patterson who is said to be haunting the St Cloud Corner in Downtown Nashville, TN.“Birdie” Patterson was a well-known figure in Nashville during the late 1800s despite only living there for 3 years. She was a prostitute and madam who ran several brothels in the city, and she was known for her flamboyant, colorful personality, and extravagant lifestyle. But on a steamy hot summer night a bullet to the chest would end her life. The circumstances around her death are a mystery today. Now Birdie roams the streets of Nashville, terrorizing mostly men and the very same same buildings she once worked in. A number of men enjoying today’s raucous Nashville lifestyle, the same way that they might have in Birdie’s time, claim to see a ghostly woman figure and hear disembodied voices saying what appears to be the word Murder, or Misery. Some have even gone as far to suggest the feeling of heavy hair and cold parts in the city where they are touched and even pushed by an invisible force.
