Alabama’s most famous ghost town is rarely open to nighttime visitors, but on Saturday, October 21 and Saturday, October 28, a few lucky people will experience Old Cahawba after dark.  

Reserve one of a limited number of tickets, and you will be transported to Cahawba’s most haunted locations in search of an authentic paranormal experience.

Old Cahawba archaeologists will share documented historical accounts of ghosts that reportedly haunt each location. Then the Alabama Paranormal Research group will lead you on an investigation of a historic home with the latest ghost hunting equipment. After the tour, you can swap ghost tales around a bonfire, chat with a paranormal investigator, or learn more about Cahawba’s mysterious history.

Arrive early before your tour begins and grab a delicious bite with Cahawba House, a local restaurant whose brick-and-mortar location is in downtown Montgomery! They will be onsite with lots of edible goodies and warm beverages available for purchase.

Seats for this 90 minute tour and investigation are limited. Advance tickets are required.  This is a deluxe wagon tour but some walking is necessary. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
