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 were the only people on the tour the night we went, but we still had the most amazing time. We’ve been on two other ghost tours in other cities and I believe that this is the best we’ve been on. Our tour guide David was not only extremely knowledgeable, but fun and entertaining as well. He was cracking jokes the entire time and his personality really shines through - something we’re not really used to with these types of tours. We’re both skeptics, but David did an awesome job at developing a suspension of disbelief. The tour was very interactive and fun. I would highly recommend anybody that comes through Birmingham to give it a try. We were only there for one day but we definitely plan on doing some of the other tours when we’re here again.
