Cathedral Square (Mobile's earliest municipal cemetery site) · Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel (1852) · De Tonti Square Historic District · Colonial Fort Conde
US Ghost Adventures runs guided ghost walks in more than 250 U.S. cities; in Mobile the local-facing brand is Port City Ghosts. The flagship walking tour, Murder, Mayhem, & Malice, meets at Bienville Square, across from the Hilton Inn at 151 St Francis Street, and covers about one mile of downtown Mobile in roughly an hour, with an extended bonus tour also offered.
The route's anchor stops are documented downtown Mobile landmarks. Cathedral Square was the site of the city's earliest municipal cemetery, in use into the 19th century, including during period yellow fever epidemics. The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel, built in 1852 on ground that had earlier served as a War of 1812-era military encampment, has hosted historical figures including Jefferson Davis. The Malaga Inn occupies a pair of connected antebellum townhouses and is popularly associated with Civil War-era tunnels. The Richards DAR House, an 1860 Italianate townhouse in the De Tonti Square Historic District, operates today as a museum. Fort Conde Inn is a cluster of historic cottages near the reconstructed Colonial Fort Conde site.
US Ghost Adventures guides are identifiable by branded shirts and lanterns; tours run nightly, rain or shine, year-round.

At Cathedral Square, the operator recounts the site's history as Mobile's first graveyard, noting that not all burials were relocated when the cemetery was formally closed, and frames reported children's laughter as tied to 19th-century yellow fever deaths; the square is also linked in local lore to Charles Boyington, hanged in 1835 for a murder he denied to the end. At the Battle House, the operator's narrative centers on the hotel's War of 1812-era site history and on a former Mardi Gras king the operator says was murdered, framing reported disembodied voices and shaking furniture as tied to the hotel's past.
At the Malaga Inn, the operator recounts Civil War-era tunnels beneath the hotel said to have hidden Confederate soldiers, framing reported cold spots and an apparition in Room 007 as tied to that history. At the Richards DAR House, the operator cites a paranormal investigation by a local research group as evidence for reported activity in the former family home. At Fort Conde Inn, the operator ties reported apparitions of soldiers to the site's War of 1812 history.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
