Do you have a favorite show you like to watch to beat the heat when the temps soar?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
It’s 106 here today. Any show that has nighttime, outdoors setting makes things feel cooler! Several of these shows/episodes fit the bill!
ACK! That’s brutally hot, Priscilla. I hope that’s the actual temp though. I mean, I hate that it’s that high, but I hope you don’t have humidity and the feels like temp is even higher is what I’m trying to say very inelegantly.
