About this episode

This episode explores the tragic story of comedian Ron Douglas and the haunting experiences reported at the comedy club where he spent his final hours.

On the corner of Eighth and Douglas in Nashville, a comedy club draws weekend crowds looking for a laugh, but the building’s heaviest history stays backstage. In 1984, comedian Ron Douglas was fired from the venue after a battle with alcoholism, leading him to spend his final, lonely hours drinking himself to death inside the club's green room. Decades later, employees and comics still report unexplainable footsteps, moving menus, and swinging lights over the old liquor closet. In this episode, Allen Sircy explores the tragic final act of Ron Douglas and the enduring legend of the comedian who refused to leave the venue he loved.
