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.
Some might think ghosts and sex are a perfectly odd match, not a perfect one, but I find more and more they go together. GHOSTS & GOOD TIME GIRLS I first noticed it last year when we took a cruise to Alaska. One of the ports was Skagway and oneContinue Reading

I finally figured out what my trouble with The Othersiders is. Actually, troubles, as there’s more than one thing that bothers me about the show. TROUBLE 1 The producers are trying to make viewers buy that these kids are experienced investigators. Granted, they are getting experience, but they’re trying to sell themContinue Reading
Last week was the HauntJaunts.net blog overhaul, this week was the making of a HauntJaunts.net promotional video. Why all the fuss? Because I made up my mind that September 1 will be the official launch of HauntJaunts.net. It’s going to be a bit of a push. I have a lot of entriesContinue Reading
Yesterday, after I applied Ghost Hunting Theories’ “Haunting Formula” to Haunt Jaunts, I realized Waverly Hills Sanatorium is now a Haunt Jaunt. Not that it hasn’t always been. Waverly Hills is a prime haunt to jaunt to for many paranormal investigators, but you used to need to get the owner’s permissionContinue Reading
Some of you might also follow Autumnforest’s blog Ghost Hunting Theories, but if not she recently posted the results of her “Haunting Formula” research. I was really excited about her research, which even she admits was ambitious, because it was that –ambitious. But potentially very useful, and definitely very interesting.Continue Reading

Yesterday I discovered an unexpected Eerie Eatery Haunt Jaunt when Wayne took me to Sunday Brunch at Mere Bulles. SOMETHING ABOUT THE PLACE… We had eaten at Mere Bulles before. Wayne took me there for lunch once. I didn’t “feel” anything then, so I wasn’t expecting to this time either.Continue Reading

Anytime is a good time to take a ghost tour, but ghost tours aren’t always offered year round. Soon the high season of ghost tours (October) will be upon us. After that many of them go on hiatus during winter before reemerging in spring. Technically we have about three monthsContinue Reading
