Haunted Houses in Mobile, AL

You can't travel to our stomping grounds without seeing lines of antebellum houses strewn along the road. While we have already written an article about the different historic house museums in Mobile, we haven't shared which ones are rumored to be haunted and why.

Oakleigh is one of the oldest homes in Mobile. This, plus its ornate decor and historic style, seem like the perfect recipe for paranormal activity. You can tour this house for a cheap price and see for yourself, and you can see if you have any creepy vibes inside.

Yet another gorgeous antebellum mansion. While the outside might be impressive and awe-inspiring, underneath this positive veil lies something possibly more sad.
