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.
Since July is National Ice Cream Month, I thought it’d be fun to jaunt (even if only virtually) to some haunted ice cream parlors. I didn’t actually know of any offhand, but look what Google turned up: Reid’s Ice Cream Factory – According to Long Island Oddities, Reid’s wasn’t anContinue Reading
I can’t wait until Movie Monday to talk about some movie news I have today. TONTINE MASSACRE First off, I made of point of watching the exclusive sneak peak of Tontine Massacre today. I loved the audition tapes it started out with. (Oh, and before I say more, it wasContinue Reading
I posted a new Discussions topic on the HJ FB Page: “Spirits Who Help: Ghosts or Angels?” Here’s what I posted there: I’ve been contemplating this for a long time. I always enjoy the Guardian Angel stories in Woman’s World, but am sometimes perplexed by Doreen Virtue’s suggestions. She oftenContinue Reading
It has been a loooong time since I had anything to post for Movie Monday, but today I finally do: the Tontine Massacre. I happened to spot the ad for it this afternoon on my very own blog. I was coming to use my handy blog exchange buttons to clickContinue Reading
The title sounds like the start of a joke, doesn’t it? “Why do ghosts like spaghetti so much?” Trouble is, I don’t have a killer punchline. Heck, forget it being killer. I simply have no punchline period! I just have the question, sparked in part by one of Julie’s postsContinue Reading
I meant to share this yesterday. (That’s when I found out about it, but it’s been going on since June 18. Dang. Wish I’d been paying better attention!) At any rate, Chad from Chateau GRRR is running a really cool online treasure hunt: “Ghost Pirate Pete’s Treasure Hunt.” Booty (akaContinue Reading
It dawned on me last night as I was falling asleep that I forgot to thank Ashley Pattison from Henry Holt and Co. for sending me Wendy Webb’s The Tale of Halcyon Crane to review. Without her contacting me I never would’ve had a copy of it to giveaway. So,Continue Reading
I forgot to draw the winner of Wendy Webb’s The Tale of Halcyon Crane yesterday. Please accept my apologies! We had six entrants. I gave them each a number based on the order in which they left their comment. Then I used one of my favorite free online toys, Random.org’sContinue Reading
Do you remember Elizabeth Eagan Cox, author of the Shannon Delaney paranormal mysteries? Her name might ring a bell because either you’re already familiar with her novels or because she also: Wrote a guest blog here about Colonial Williamsburg Helped HJ celebrate its one year anniversary by donating a copyContinue Reading
Kate Lang Johnson, who plays Tori Fairchild on NBC’s “Persons Unknown”, took some time to answer a few questions I had. I’m really excited about what she had to say. I hope you will be too. The Q&A follows below. I read that you’ve got “an appetite for travel andContinue Reading
I had the pleasure of receiving a complimentary copy of Wendy Webb’s The Tale of Halcyon Crane. I recently finished it and finally have the chance to review it. Because I’m a writer myself, I have a tendency to be overly critical of other writers. Especially ones who have writtenContinue Reading
Okay, so I’m not the brightest bulb in the box. Sometimes (most times) it takes me a few tries to get things right. When I started this Facebook page it was back during chemo days. (I blame that! Just kidding. Actually there was a reason for my madness…) Back thenContinue Reading
