★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 40 to 55 minutes (approx.) · from $9

Use the WalknTours app to guide yourself through eight haunted Birmingham stops, from the Redmont Hotel and old jail to Linn Park and the Tutwiler. The 40 to 55 minute route is narrated in English, never expires, and lets you walk whenever you like, but one alley requires extra care after dark.
