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.
While I was watching Cartoon Network’s “The Othersiders” investigation of the Queen Mary, I found myself thinking, “Perhaps these kids aren’t too young to hunt ghosts after all.” With that said, I guess it’s a good time to admit that I shared the sentiments fellow blogger AutumnForest expressed in oneContinue Reading
Today I finally had some time to skim the posts on the Yahoo! Groups I belong to and ended up stumbling across Haunt Jaunts galore! (I didn’t have much time to lurk around these groups before, but I do now that I’m done with radiation. After what I came acrossContinue Reading
Recently one of my Google Alerts included a press release that caught my eye for three reasons: (1) it was about a cruise (something I love to do), (2) it was about a cruise in New England and Canada (places on my Bucket List), and (3) it involved ghosts. MarkContinue Reading
Thanks to the Haunted Formula AutumnForest is working on over at Ghost Hunting Theories and Lisa Logan’s Where Would YOU Haunt guest blog, I can’t stop wondering: is there a law to becoming a ghost? You know, like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Attraction…is there a Law ofContinue Reading
The Times of India ran an interesting article recently called “Meet ghosts at a restaurant in Kolkata.” It was about P C Sorcar, a conjurer or magician, who’s planning to open a restaurant with ghosts, goblins and ghouls of every variety. Don’t worry. The ghosts aren’t real. They’ll be membersContinue Reading
Yesterday I saw an email from my good pal, Lisa Logan (who I introduced here last week who’ll be making a guest post), saying she’d given me a friendship blog award or some such on her blog, Writing in My Wildest Dreams. “Huh?” I thought, confused. See, I’d had aContinue Reading
Photo courtesy Stock Xchg Do we get to choose our Haunt Jaunts if we linger here in the afterlife? Or does the Haunt Jaunt choose us? I’ve had a fair share of ghostly experiences (like this one), and from what I’ve heard and seen, ghostly haunt spots usually make sense.Continue Reading
Just a heads up that author Lisa Logan is going to be making an appearance as a guest blogger on Haunt Jaunts. While I’d love to take the credit for this idea, I can’t. It was entirely her idea. She suggested it after reading one of the posts. She wasContinue Reading
For the last six months I have been haunted by a hitchhiker. (My euphemism for cancer.) Today is the end of that haunting. I completed my 20th and final radiation therapy. “What does cancer have to do with Haunt Jaunts?” you may be wondering. Everything! Let me explain… MY HITCHHIKER,Continue Reading
A while back I wrote about HauntedCon, but this week I got to thinking about other ghost conferences coming up for the rest of 2009. Where were they and when? (I knew I’d seen some others during my travels around various websites, so…) I decided to do a little investigatingContinue Reading
I found this clip of an alleged ghost in a museum on YouTube thanks to a Google alert about an alleged ghost caught on a CCTV in an office building in South Carolina. (I went to YouTube to try and find it, but of course got distracted and found thisContinue Reading
In my very first blog I explained the reaction I’d had the very first time we drove by the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine: Here there be ghosts… Well, if you watched Ghost Adventures on Friday, you saw they investigated the fort. And they did find paranormal activity.Continue Reading
