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.

My husband and I have been making it our "thing" to go on a ghost tour for each historic town we visit. We were pleasantly surprised at how well done, well researched, and fun this tour was! David was our guide, and he personalized the tour for our smaller group, taking us to multiple extra locations and telling us extra stories. We had a blast, and if you're in the area, this is a must-do.

I was very impressed with both Wolfgang and David, the guide of the Birmingham Ghost 👻 Walk Hotels and churches! First of all, the amount of research and digging into Birmingham’s past by Wolfgang is quite amazing, he could probably be a writer. David was awesome, not only does he have all this knowledge and information down, he’s also extremely witty with some dry humor, which kept my boyfriend and myself laughing, even when no one else was! Haha 🤣 This was not something my bf would normally do but he actually enjoyed the history and had fun, just as I did immensely! I will highly recommend this to everyone!
