Check-In
It’s been a while since the programming schedule has been this quiet, hasn’t it?
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 guess the Christmas season can’t compete with the Halloween season. Doesn’t “Monster in the Machine” sound good?!
I’m wondering where Kindred Spirits is. It already had the schedule drawn up by this time last year. It’s an exceptional show with exceptional and innovative investigating tactics that gets results both behind the haunting and within the haunting. Amy Bruni is the real deal and Adam Berry isn’t far behind. The URL is http://www.breachtheveil.com, currently being built, but your details area still won’t allow me to enter it.
Priscilla, I think you once again nailed it! I’m really shocked they haven’t had a The Real Story of Krampus Shock Docs or something. Or most haunted places to spend Christmas or…something along those lines. But maybe the stars need a break because it has been pretty busy up until now.
Oh, and that “Monster in the Machine” Haunted Museum episode was one of the better ones…SCARY!!!!!
I was wondering where Amy and Adam have been too, Troy! I keep thinking a press release about their new season will hit my inbox any day now. As far as I know, they haven’t been cancelled because they are one of the more popular/fan favorite shows. But now I’m wondering since you brought it up if this week will be the one that info drops! Synchronicity has a funny way of working like that. lol
I wish they would just write up a five-year contract with Amy and Adam like they did with Zak and be done with it, you know? Travel Channel is fully aware that they can bring the numbers. Sheesh!
