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.
Just in time for Friday Fun my friend Brenda sent me a fun email with a sort of ghostly looking image of Albert Einstein. Or is it really Marilyn Monroe? If you’re looking at it from close range, like while you’re seated right in front of your computer, it looksContinue Reading
Thanks to one of my Google alerts, I stumbled upon a new-to-me blog I figured some of the rest of you might like to know about if you don’t already: Ghost Lounge. The post that came up in my “paranormal travel” Google alert was “Whatever Happened to ‘Most Haunted’ onContinue Reading
A big shout out goes to Autumnforest for sending me this link: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/videos/feeds/cv-seo/Science–Technology/American-Paranormal/. American Paranormal sort of quietly burst on the scene, but it’s slowly gaining buzz as it spreads from blogger to blogger and paranormal enthusiast to paranormal enthusiast. There’s two episodes so far: Haunted Prison, which is anContinue Reading
ATrueOriginall left a comment on one of my other posts with an interesting observation. It was in reference to a mention I made on “Noteworthy Blogs: GhostTheory”. In that post I listed some specific GhostTheory articles which I felt made that a noteworthy blog, including “Donna Lacroix Talks: Secrets BehindContinue Reading
A while back I wrote about the Ghost Hunters effect being an Oprah-esque boon for paranormal tourism. Ghost Hunters has certainly sparked the imaginations of the masses. Smart non-profits found a way to cash in on that by offering ghost hunts to help supplement their revenue streams. However, during myContinue Reading
If you’re thinking I already covered Dark Moon Rising on Movie Monday once before, you’re not mistaken. I did. For a refresher, click here. However, last week the movie’s writer/director, Dana Mennie, stopped and left a comment on that post. (Which I copied and pasted below.) He shared some additionalContinue Reading
The Booth House in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, which locals also know as the “Haunted Cottage of Harpers Ferry,” is about to get a new moniker when it’s opened to the public as the Paranormal History Museum and Paranormal Studies Training Center. Yep, it’s finally happened. A place dedicated toContinue Reading
I can almost hear some of you moaning, “Please, Courtney, stop! You’re killing us. Enough with the ghost hunting shows already. Haven’t you covered them ad nauseam this week? Do you really need to tell us about another one?” Yep. This one’s a little bit different from Paranormal Cops, BelieversContinue Reading
I found a neat blog the other day: Paranormal Videos: Mysteries, Ghost Videos & Stories. They sort of do something a bit different from the rest of the blogs I follow. While they, too, write about ghosts, haunted places, mysterious beasts and UFOs, they include videos with their write-ups. ToContinue Reading
Okay, it’s been a world wind day of International Haunt Jaunts. As I promised in my first post today, our last stop is Down Under. We’re there because of the photo at left, which was taken while on a ghost tour at Barwon Park mansion in Australia. I snagged aContinue Reading
As I promised in my first post today, my next Haunt Jaunt for the day is Poveglia Island. “What does that have to do with the title of this post?” Glad you asked. I’ll tell you! I’m going to give you some clues at the end of this post. YourContinue Reading
Today, in honor of Flashes in the Dark posting my story, “Between the Wolf and the Dog,” I’m going to make a sort of a different Haunt Jaunt. In fact, today you might notice an International theme. I’ll launch the journey with this post on France’s Morvan forest. Later thisContinue Reading
