You’ll eat a full dinner along the way. Add the cocktail ticket and you’ll enjoy a selection of “spooky” drinks. This is a 21+ walking tour, it runs throughout the month of October, and it sells out every single year!

Mobile’s Haunted History, Told Where It Happened
Mobile is more than 300 years old. Yellow fever, hurricanes, duels, eerie activity, and a downtown built on top of its own first burial ground. These are some of the stories you’ll hear.
Church Street Graveyard. Opened in 1819 to bury the victims of a yellow fever epidemic, this is the oldest surviving cemetery in the city. You’ll walk the grounds at dusk and hear who’s buried there, who isn’t supposed to be, and why the gates get locked at night.
The Boyington Oak. In 1835, a young printer named Charles Boyington was convicted of murdering his friend Nathaniel Frost and hanged in front of a crowd of thousands. He swore to the end that he was innocent, and he told the crowd that an oak tree would grow from his grave to prove it. A few years later, an oak pushed up through the ground exactly where they’d put him. It’s still standing. You’ll stand under it.
Beneath the Campo Santo. One of the stops on this tour takes you underground, into a speakeasy built beneath an art gallery on the site of Mobile’s very first graveyard. The settlers buried there in the 1700s were never all moved. See if you can still hear their whispers.
Multiple Stops, a Full Dinner, and Spooky Cocktails
Don’t let the name “bites” fool you, come hungry. Every stop is a downtown Mobile restaurant we work with year-round, and every dish is chosen because it’s a local favorite.
What You’ll Taste
Enjoy a variety of local favorites at six downtown stops, savory through sweet, adding up to a full dinner. The lineup shifts each October with what our restaurant partners are cooking, so come hungry and let your guide surprise you.
