We hear the tales of two of our haunted hotels, and three of the five original churches of the city. There is then the tale of murders most sad, which has led to the legends of the “Mermaid of the Lake” and the major riot that followed.

Dani did an amazing job as our guide. We started on time, the stories were compelling, she showed lots of pictures, allowed time for guests to take pictures, and answered all questions.

This was a fantastic ghost tour! David was very knowledgeable and a fun and interesting guide. We were a small party, just my friends and one other family, so he was very interactive with us. He knew a lot about the history or each of our stops and the context of the time periods being discussed, which I think is critical to any fun ghost tour experience. I am a Birmingham local and I learned a lot about the city that I didn't previously know. He mentioned other tours he does and me and my friends are very interested in going on more of them in the future. You won't regret this fun trip into Birmingham's spooky past!

The places we saw were beautiful with lots of history behind them. David did a wonderful job on telling their stories! The tour group also had plenty of laughs along the way.
