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 haven’t been posting as usual lately because last Saturday we (meaning my husband and I) received some devastating news: my wonderful Aunt Alice passed away. (Since Wayne’s been a major part of my life for nearly 2/3 of it now, he definitely got a chance to come to knowContinue Reading
“Believers” isn’t a movie, but it involves ghosts on a screen of sorts so I figured it’d make a good topic for Movie Monday. If you’re a fan of the show, you may already follow “Believers” on Facebook. If you do, then you probably also know their show got pickedContinue Reading
Here we go again, another ghost tour claiming it caught a ghost not once but twice in pictures during its ghost tour. STV broke the story Friday in “Mystery as ‘ghost’ appears in two photos from Edinburgh tours.” Apparently staff at the Real Mary King’s Close feel the blond womanContinue Reading
A PR person representing BBC America shared an inside look video about tonight’s second season premier of Being Human. I had never heard of the show, but this certainly caught my attention: This witty yet terrifying series follows three twenty-something’s and their secret double-lives – as a werewolf, a vampire,Continue Reading
San Diego Comic Con 2010 is this weekend, which means it’s Halloween in July! What am I talking about? A post I saw on The Haunted Hotel’s Facebook page yesterday. For your convenience, I copied it and pasted it below. But long story short, if you live in or areContinue Reading
Have you ever seen the episode “Jess-Belle” on the old Twilight Zone (the one from the 1960s)? Wendy Webb’s The Tale of Halcyon Crane reminded me a bit of that mixed with Mary Stewart’s Thornyhold. It was Gothic, full of atmosphere in a rural setting, flavored with love, and hypnotizing.Continue Reading
Andrea from Ghost Stories always does a Question of the Week. This week’s question was “What do you think the lights over Phoenix are?” She asked it because it got a lot of comments in her review of the first “Fact or Faked” episode. (Apparently the Phoenix Lights was somethingContinue Reading
Previously I wrote about things we saw on our Haunt Jaunt to St. Louis, one of which was the Lemp Mansion. I decided to take some video while we were there. I was hoping to play around with creating a travel commentary of sorts. However, I couldn’t get my cameraContinue Reading
Over the July 4th weekend we finally had a chance to make it up to St. Louis to visit our good friends. We had a blast! St. Louis is a neat place. There’s tons to do, but we were limited on time. (We got in early Saturday afternoon and leftContinue Reading
Disclaimer: Except for one slightly mutilated tail (which, by nature, is thankfully designed to fall off), no lizards were harmed in the making of this movie. My cat Tabby is an indoor cat, but she loves to hang out in the garage because that’s where she can practice her huntingContinue Reading
Wednesday was not a very good day for me. I’ve been having some new health issues unrelated (I hope) to my cancer. I had my three month checkup this past Tuesday and asked my oncologist about them, though. He told me to go see my primary, who got me inContinue Reading
What a week. First Alison at Horror Squad featured Haunt Jaunts, now I got a message from The Travel Blogroll that Haunt Jaunts was one of their three featured blogs for the week. WOW! And I have to thank Mommy D (you may be familiar with her “dark side,” a.k.a.Continue Reading
