Courtney Mroch was born into a family that suffered from a chronic case of wanderlust. She’s been traveling even before she could remember. (She has the pictures to prove it!) She’s also had an interest in the paranormal from the time she was a child and attended Cheeseman Academy in Denver’s haunted Cheeseman Park. But it wasn’t until after a series of curious trips in the late 1990s, first to Utah’s Shilo Inn then to St. Augustine (in particular an incident at Harry’s), that she began haunt jaunting in earnest. On weekends she’d cajole her husband into venturing to haunted places. He was the one who started calling their excursions “haunt jaunts.” She had considered writing a book called “Haunt Jaunts: A Travel guide for Restless Spirits” but before she could tackle the project she was stricken with cancer. (Stage 2 B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma.) However, she decided to create Haunt Jaunts the blog as part of her “Get Off the Couch Project” to motivate her recovery process. It worked. She sped towards remission where she’s been ever since. Her other interests include cooking (because she loves to eat), tennis, volleyball, TV, movies, and zombies.
Linda Moffitt, Paranormal Historian and Researcher
Linda Moffitt is the author of two haunted places books, Washington’s Haunted Hotspots and Haunts of the Southwest, with a couple more in the works. She’s pictured above taking a break from exploring Nevada’s Virginia City Cemetary to pose for a quick pic. When she’s not traveling to haunted places and writing about them you might find her swinging from a trapeze or hula hooping. (She makes custom-made candy-inspired hoops at Sweet Shoppe Hoops.)
