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.
Now that winter’s well underway, maybe your thoughts have turned to a Haunt Jaunt where you can also hit the slopes. I grew up in Colorado, so I grew up hearing about a couple of haunted ski resorts. (The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park popped in my mind first andContinue Reading
It depends on who you talk to in Key West, but some know one of their more interesting characters as Robert the Haunted Doll, while others prefer to call him Robert the Enchanted Doll. No matter what adjective they ascribe to him, they all know about Robert the Doll. AsContinue Reading
I don’t know about where you live, but it’s cold here in Nashville today. Not as cold as a lot of other parts of the country, but darn cold compared to what it should be. Our highs the last couple of days (upper 20s, low 30s) have been what ourContinue Reading
I didn’t visit a psychic, nor am I one (just a sensitive), so this isn’t a prediction of what I expect to come Haunt Jaunts way in 2010. Rather, it’s a sneak peak of some of the stories I plan to write about in the year ahead, as well asContinue Reading
I decided to create a Haunt Jaunts “Best of” 2009 Award as I was taking stock of this past year and all the highlights. One of the tops has been creating Haunt Jaunts. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might know Haunt Jaunts became my “getContinue Reading
Here’s something you don’t run across every day: a publishing house with a resident ghost that specializes in horror, suspense, dark fantasy and science fiction. But that’s exactly the story at Pill Hill Press. I have to give credit to my friend Chris Verstraete for bringing this to my attention.Continue Reading
My friend Jade Walker recently got married. For their honeymoon, she and her husband spent a month touring Europe. (That was their dream. They’d been saving for it ever since I first met her, back when I was writing for Families.com.) When she got back she mentioned they’d had anContinue Reading
When I wrote about the faked evidence Ghost Hunters doesn’t want you to see, my intention was to accomplish something akin to this quote by Margaret Meade: “I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in theContinue Reading
Actually, it’s not so much that Ghost Hunters doesn’t want you to see the following clips. If you’re a fan of the show you’ve likely already seen them. What they don’t want you to do is examine them too closely or question their authenticity. Why? Because it’s evidence that GH’sContinue Reading
I didn’t come across any cool new movies to share for Movie Monday today. (Besides which, Phasma Ex Machina has now set the benchmark. It’s going to take a lot to inspire me after seeing the trailer for that one. I am REALLY excited about it.) But never fear. IContinue Reading
I have to give credit to Twitter again for this (potentially) interesting find. I put potentially in parenthesis because I don’t have a lot of info about this site yet or what all it’s going to entail. The little info I do have sparked my interest, though. I figured itContinue Reading
I woke up Christmas morning and made a Haunt Jaunt to the Christmas tree. To my delight, I unwrapped a bounty of cool ghost gifts! SPOOKTASTIC READING My friend Jade sent me this book for Christmas. I am REALLY excited to read it. I had never heard of it before,Continue Reading
