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.
The other day a representative of Henry Holt and Co. contacted me about whether I’d be interested in reviewing a copy of The Tale of Halcyon Crane by Wendy Webb. Here was the hook: In this chilling and ghostly tale, Wendy Webb has created a haunting story full of deliciousContinue Reading
I’m usually not one to say “I tried to warn you” or “I told you so.” Mainly because usually I don’t express my theories or predictions publicly. However, at the beginning of April I wrote “April, Saturn, & Mercury Retrograde: Something Wicked This Way Comes.” It sure provoked a lotContinue Reading
When I wrote about the Nashville flood the other day I also included a few video clips. Most were from YouTube but one was mine I took of the flood waters at our neighborhood Publix supermarket. I had to stop in there again yesterday to pick up a few things.Continue Reading
I was astounded when I watched the TODAY show this morning and instead of seeing stories about the flooding in Tennessee and Kentucky I heard expert after expert talk about the arrest of the suspected terrorist bomber and the Gulf Oil spill. I flipped to the Ealy Show, hoping they’dContinue Reading
Many of you know I live in Nashville. We can’t get any national news coverage because from Saturday until today the local news has been the only thing on ABC, NBC and CBS. I don’t know if you’ve seen it on the news where you live, but Tennessee had twoContinue Reading
Finally being announced! As usual, I’m not spilling the beans here in writing. But I have a video posted below. Watch it at your own risk. I was a little more animated than normal this time… Oh, and “Music” may or may not have decided to come out right inContinue Reading
Yesterday I wrote about how we took a trip south to the beach to participate in the Emerald Coast Volleyball Week fun in Fort Walton Beach. Today I’m continuing with what kind of jaunts we came across once we got to Fort Walton Beach. THE PREHISTORIC INDIAN MOUND We didn’tContinue Reading
If you’ve followed me for a while you might be aware I’m a bit of a volleyball nut. Ever since we moved to Nashville and integrated into the volleyball culture here we’ve heard about the Fudpucker’s tournament down in Destin. Well, last week was the big Emerald Coast Volleyball WeekContinue Reading
As April winds to a close, so too does the Haunt Jaunts Anniversary Bash. But never fear I have one more giveaway… I really love the SCARED! crew. If you haven’t checked them out yet, they’re worth the look. They’re fresh, sincere, open-minded and strive to be the best theyContinue Reading
I didn’t realize how much the Icelandic volcano’s eruption has disrupted travel until I was watching Gerlado at Large this past weekend. One of his guests said it was going to be much worse than travelers stranded for just a couple of days. It could take people an additional weekContinue Reading
You know, I’ve been through a lot in the past few years especially, and I’ve seen a lot of kindnesses –especially from people I’ve never physically met. Those are the ones that astound me most. They also make for the best stories. I love hearing examples of people passionate aboutContinue Reading
I finally had a chance to read my YouTube Subscription Update email and saw Beyond Ghosts had added a new video: Beyond Ghosts Events for Summer 2010! Curious, I popped on over to check it out. It’s SLICK! It’s actually everything a video of this nature probably should be: informative,Continue Reading
