Haunted Birmingham

by Alan Brown

From the eerie vestiges of the Sloss Furnaces to the unexplained (and un-booked) performances in the Alabama Theatre and rather otherworldly room service at the Tutwiler Hotel, Birmingham is truly one of the South's supernatural hotbeds. Renowned author and ghost expert Alan Brown delivers a fascinating, downright spine-chilling collection of haunts from around the city and surrounding neighborhoods such as Bessemer, Columbiana, Jasper and Montevallo. Residents and tourists alike will cherish this exclusive glimpse into the city's inexplicable occupants, and even the skeptics can enjoy the book's historical framework.

This book is okay. I love history and there are interesting stories. But the writing is not that great.

This is a great book. I’ve always loved anything paranormal or anything on hauntings I like. This books is a great read and gives you a history on the city of Birmingham

Interesting book on the ghostly history of Birmingham and the surrounding area. The section on Sloss Furnace was particularly harrowing.

However... This book was clearly in need of a better proofreader. There are errors that made me wonder about what the author was trying to get across.

Just a small sampling

There are hundreds of places writhing Birmingham that the writer could have written about, yet chose not to. Interesting, yeast disappointing.
