Check-In
You know how sometimes people get a little shy, tongue-tied, or weird around famous people? Do you think ghosts do too?
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 totally think ghosts can be shy or tongue-tied. Ghosts have varying personalities, so they wouldn’t all be bold and gregarious.
When you put it like that, it makes perfect sense!!! THANK YOU!!!
