Haunted Places in Alabama

Doing Time.
Built in 1854, and now a museum, the Old Shelby County Courthouse in Columbiana is home to several disgruntled spirits. Mischievous and curious, these ghosts open windows, turn on mechanical devices, and pull down blinds. The restless spirits have also been known to touch visitors, steal keys and jewelry, and knock on doors and walls.

Mad Mary.
Jack's Family Restaurants in Parrish is home to a mischievous Indian spirit called "Mary." The owners and staff report unusual and unexplainable events happening in the eatery almost daily. Grills light by themselves, strange voices resonate through the building after hours, and apparitions habitually touch staff and patrons on the back, neck, and face.

Trapped Souls.
An abandoned house in the small rural town of Pine Ridge is home to a family of ghosts. Decade's back, the patriarch of the Horton family slaughtered his wife and three children, and then shot himself. Ghost hunters and psychics have held séances in the home with shocking and frightening results. Visitors have been choked, pushed, and tripped. Late at night, a young girl's bloodcurdling screams can be heard inside and outside the house, apparitions will manifest in front of anyone with a camera, and loud thumps and sounds of a heavy object being forcibly pulled up the stairs vibrate through the rooms.

Buried Secrets.
Holt Cemetery in Society Hill hosts a singing spirit and a ghost who enjoys being photographed. This graveyard is considered to be a hotbed of paranormal activity. Society Hill was once touted as the graveyard of the Alabama elite. Some eyewitness reports insist many of the apparitions are dressed in fine period clothing of the late 1800's, but others believe they have seen the specter of a young man smartly dressed in modern clothes.

Evelyn's Education.
Built in 1819, the Gaineswood Mansion in Demopolis is home to the ghost of chambermaid and nanny Evelyn Carter. Her restless spirit still wanders the home and grounds, making mischief and begging for recognition. Visitors have reported hearing the swing of lady's skirt and dainty footsteps throughout the home. Some have seen floating orbs and apparitions, heard a piano playing and a female's voice faintly speaking in the kitchen and nursery.

Belle's of Belleville.
Many previous owners, staff, and slaves haunt the magnificent Belleville Mansion. Reports of supernatural activity in this Civil War plantation home have been documented for decades. Slaves were hung from trees on the property, union soldiers were tortured and killed in the basement, and many others died from yellow fever in the home's makeshift infirmary. Objects fly across rooms, lamps flicker on and off, and strange voices and noises echo throughout the main hall.

Educated Spirits.
During the Civil War, the Old Public Library in Tuscaloosa was used to hide union soldiers and slaves from the confederates and move munitions through its massive underground tunnels. Ghost hunters have seen the apparition of a young woman in period dress staring out the parlor window, patiently watching someone on the lawn. A dark entity has been seen and photographed in the top turret. This malevolent ghost has attempted to push guests down the spiral staircase leading to the roof and many who have come into contact with the specter report feeling a wave of dread and evil suddenly wash over them.

Tears for Belle Mont.
Belle Mont Mansion, an old antebellum plantation in Tuscumbia, is the site of many Civil War atrocities. African-Americans enslaved at Belle Mont continue to haunt the holding chambers in the basement and their apparitions have been seen wandering the grounds. The tortured spirits of the owners and children who died of yellow fever still roam the halls in search of release from their earthbound imprisonment. The ghost of a young debutant who lost her fiancé to war has been heard sobbing in an upstairs bedroom. A few paranormal researchers have recorded unexplained noises, thumps, and voices on tape.
