Birmingham Ghost Walk

Winchester Mystery House

It seems as though we aren't the only ones missing our guests. Last week, one of our caretakers was locking up and saying goodbye to the house after her final shift. She wanted to remember the farewell walkthrough, so she waited for everyone to leave, and recorded it. Listen as she exits the Seance Room into the Unfinished Dressing Room...do you hear it? “We’re all Here." See you soon. 👻

We apologize for getting your hopes up (we are disappointed too)....

Winchester Mystery House

In 1924, Harry Houdini visited the Winchester Estate on his nationwide spiritualism debunking tour. He attempted to demystify the stories around Sarah Winchester, but, according to legend, he left with more questions than answers. He even helped popularize the name Winchester Mystery House.

We are ironing out the last few details so that we can safely begin escorting tours through the darkness....

The Most Haunted Hotels In Every State

Redmont Hotel made the most haunted hotel list...

ranker.com For the paranormally minded, there’s nothing better than a haunted hotel. Sure, a 5-star resort or an apartment rented from an app are all well and good, but they don’t come with the same gruesome amenities as a haunted hotel room. Screams coming from down the hall, inexplicable cold spots in...

We are consulting the spirits...and even THEY have no idea when we will be able to resume tours!
