Unlock the Secrets of Birmingham’s Haunted Past
The Original Birmingham Ghost Walk — Hotels, Churches & Riots
For over 15 years, we’ve led guests beyond the surface of the city to uncover chilling true stories of murder, mayhem, and spirits that never rest.
Walk in the footsteps of ministers, mobsters, mourners, and madmen as we explore haunted hotels, fire-scarred churches, and the violent history hidden beneath Birmingham’s Southern charm.
You’ll hear tales too strange for fiction — of ghosts, riots, secret tunnels, and the lingering echoes of tragedy that still shape the city today.
This isn’t a scripted show. It’s a researched, guided walk into the shadows of real history — and our most-requested tour.
We’re not a national chain with canned stories — we’re Birmingham’s original local ghost tour, born and raised in the city we haunt.
Dare to discover what still lingers in the streets of Birmingham.
Book now… if you’re ready to be haunted.

5.00Our tour guide was very informative, friendly, and we felt safe on the tour. It was delightful to learn about the rich history of Birmingham. We met at a small gallery, the artwork was amazing to look at while we waited. Hoping to make it back to do the tour with our kids and pick up some art as well! Just an FYI, boom through their website directly!

5.00It was an hour in a half walk. But we laughed and heard several amazing stories of the past. So the walk didn't seem as long as it was. We really enjoyed it
Great time.

5.00Erica did a great job keeping a large group entertained on an October night! I appreciate that she also worked in some history/touches on the city. Fun experience for a group that travels here regularly for work, gave us a chance to learn more about the city!
Great spooky tour

5.00This was an excellent way to hear about and see history of Birmingham with spooky elements. David was a great guide and was clearly knowledgeable about the city and region, and there were zero minutes during which our group was bored. We had a small group, but I think that the experience would easily translate to a larger group. If you're thinking about doing this tour or any tour with this organization, I highly recommend it.
Great first introduction to Birmingham

5.00Loved this tour. David was super knowledgeable about Birmingham history and ,of course, ghosts of the city. He was very entertaining and told the stories with passion and quirkiness. He even made me look for "dragon eye" in the drains. :-) I go for ghost tours in every city, but this one was one of the best. Highly recommend.
Terrible

1.00Save your money. We paid $200 for a guide that was clearly high on something, realed of booze,and blew smoke in our face from his pipe. He was semi incoherent and rambled along with many stray thoughts, opinions, and biases thrown into his speech. He repeatedly banged on furnace vents, signs and dumpsters trying to scare the people on the tour. One of his speeches detailed graphic descriptions of how a lobotomy is preformed. The end culminated in a rubber axe being thrown at people. He managed to hit my daughter in the jaw, my other daughter in the stomach and me in the leg.
