The Birmingham Ghost Walk - Hotels Churches and Riots Tour

Overview

This is the introduction and exploration of our dark and interesting history and covers many of the main haunted and unusual sights downtown. We begin with the tales of the founding of our city as a rough and tumble mine and mill town, and continue through on with missing children, and spiteful murders.. 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.

We have meant to go on this tour forever but never made time since it's in our hometown. We should have planned it sooner. We really enjoyed the history of the tour. The rest of our family really enjoyed it also including my mom and 11 and 13 year old. Our host was very nice and a good story teller. We are hoping to go on the new tours soon.

We chose The Birmingham Ghost Walk for our date night, and had a blast! The tour guide is hilarious, but just enough so the tour was kinda creepy but not too morbid. I also loved learning about the history and architecture of the area. Highly recommend , but eat before you go 😂

The fact the tour guide was so knowledgeable and knew the history of the area. We were staying at a hotel nearby which David told us was the most haunted hotel in Alabama!
