Shawn was a great tour guide! He was able to share lots of very informative historical accounts, many of which having an interest in local Birmingham history I had no idea about. Would highly recommend taking this tour if interested the paranormal as well as local history!
Just ok

I had the Birmingham walking ghost tour with Madison, was absolutely fantastic! From the very first stop, I was hooked. Our guide was an amazing storyteller—engaging, funny, and just the right amount of spooky. You could tell they knew the city’s haunted history inside and out, weaving in real historical facts with chilling local legends. Walking through Birmingham’s old streets and hearing about its darker past gave the city a whole new vibe. The stories were creepy without being over-the-top, and the atmosphere after dark made it all feel so authentic. We visited some truly eerie spots I would’ve never known about otherwise. This tour is a must-do for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re into ghost stories or just want a fun and different night out, you’ll love it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat—highly recommended!
A fun informative evening.

The stories about the ghosts of Sloss are false. I know because I made them up in 1999 to promote Sloss Fright Furnace. Makes me wonder about the authenticity of the other stories
Great tour, great night

Madison gave me a great tour. She arrived early and the communication between me and her was smooth. The tour was very comprehensive and interesting. I found out actually I stayed at the most haunted hotel in Birmingham. Highly recommend it!
