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.
I’d like to give a special shout out to a blogger pal of mine: Jessica Penot of Ghost Stories and Haunted Places.

Last week I received an email with the subject line “Why did Ghost Hunters do this?” Well of course that piqued my interest and I opened it, even though I didn’t recognize the sender’s ID. But let me pause here for a second. While I’m on the topic of IDs…notContinue Reading
One of my favorite paths to walk on is the one at River Park off Concord Road in Brentwood. There are over 10 miles worth of trails that connect up with other paths in Concord Park (which River Park is a part of) and Crockett Park. THE WHITE DEER WhenContinue Reading

This morning on our Facebook page I created a new album: Spooktacular Halloween Blog Party Prizes. I couldn’t help it. I’m no good at keeping secrets. I’m also no good being patient when I’m excited about something. I’m so stoked for Halloween I’m about to bust! I want to getContinue Reading
Is Cape May the new paranormal tourism hotspot? I’m thinking it must be because this summer it’s the one place that I keep seeing over and over again. CRAIG MCMANUS IN CAPE MAY It all started when I got one of Craig McManus’s newsletters earlier this summer. He talked aboutContinue Reading
Okay, thanks to an add on Facebook for Let Me In (which ended up leading me to another movie, Monsters) I have a double-feature Movie Monday post to share today. LET ME IN The Let Me In Facebook ad caught my eye because it reminded me of a pretty decentContinue Reading
I have creepy dolls on the brain this weekend. Robert the doll started it. But I’m not the only one. Jessica and Andrea (of Ghost Stories and Haunted Places and Ghost Stories, respectively) also have creepy haunted dolls on their brains too. (See “Robert, The Cursed Doll” and “Robert TheContinue Reading
The past few months I’ve watched in rapt interest as one post in particular continues to be hands down the most popular of all the posts I’ve written: Key West’s Robert the Doll. In my Google Analytics account I’ve watched it do nothing but dominate. Then, not too long ago,Continue Reading
I’m really excited for our 10 day Canada/New England cruise next month, but I’m also a little apprehensive. I thought I’d done all my diligence: Made sure to find a cruise that offered us the most bang for our buck Found a sailing that hit all the major celebration datesContinue Reading
