The Birmingham Jaycees Haunted House was an annual haunted attraction staged inside the imposing white stucco house at 732 29th Street South in Lakeview. It was operated by volunteers from the Birmingham Junior Chamber of Commerce as a fundraiser to support their charitable activities.

The house operated from the late 1971 to 2004, when it was sold to St Vincent's Hospital. That year's attraction was billed as "The Final Nightmare".

In 2006 St Vincent's agreed to lease the house back to the Jaycees to re-open the haunted house. Preparations were well underway for an early October opening, but an inspection by the Birmingham Department of Planning, Engineering and Permits uncovered numerous infractions of current codes which forced a cancellation.
