Walking on Air: The Ghost of Nina Conway
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
We are going back to New Year’s Eve in 1872 for Tennessee Tales Tuesday. On that night hundreds gathered along Lincoln Street in downtown Tullahoma, Tennessee, to watch traveling aerialists Peter and Nina Conway attempt a death-defying high-wire walk suspended forty feet in the air with no safety nets. While Peter made the crossing safely, a sudden, violent gust of wind caught Nina just twenty feet from the opposite rooftop, sending her plunging to her death in front of a horrified holiday crowd. But for over a century and a half, locals insist her final performance never truly ended. From sightings of a woman in vintage circus attire standing on the rooftops to an eerie 1931 report of an apparition walking across empty air above passing automobiles, Nina Conway remains frozen in time. Host Allen Sircy untangles the heartbreaking history and enduring folklore of Tullahoma’s phantom aerialist, forever trying to finish her final walk.
