From the Vault: The Ghost of the Human Fly

The Rutherford County Courthouse in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, stands as a living piece of American history—and perhaps something more. In this long lost episode from the vault, we explore the incredible legacy of one of Tennessee’s few remaining antebellum courthouses, tracking its journey through Union occupation, daring Confederate raids, and bizarre World War II military drills. We’ll dive into the tragic 1923 spectacle of James "The Human Fly" Dearing, whose fatal daredevil stunt atop the courthouse tower left a mark on the town that lingers to this day. Join us as we uncover the history, the triumphs, and the ghostly activity that suggest some of Murfreesboro's past residents never truly left.
