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 didn’t include this with yesterday’s Haunts with Heart listing because it was getting a little long, and I felt this one had enough to warrant it’s own post. Thanks goes to Connie Nelson, the Communications/Public Relations Director for Wilmington/Cape Fear Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau, who was nice enoughContinue Reading
I got to thinking about “Haunts with Heart” last month. First, I wrote about Scare for a Cure, a haunted house in Austin, Texas that “raises money for local cancer charities one scream at a time.” Then Best Haunted Attraction left a comment on my post about haunted house seasonContinue Reading
One of the girls I play volleyball with is throwing a Halloween bash and invited Wayne and I. GREAT! I love parties, I love Halloween, and put them both together? That’s my kind of party! But to actually go to a party also gives me the excuse to buy aContinue Reading
Okay, I promised I’d record the drawing for the winner of the Halloween Dinner & a Decoration Giveaway and that’s exactly what I did. And, as embarrassing as it turned out, I’m even still posting it! I didn’t pick a back up winner though. Since there were only 3 peopleContinue Reading
