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.
The castle in The Traitors has seen dozens of murders during the two seasons of both the U.K. and U.S. versions of the show. (Australia, Canada, and New Zealand also have versions, but in different settings, which we’ll briefly explore in a bit.) Luckily none have been real murders, butContinue Reading
“That’s a movie I’d see in theaters,” I thought when the trailer for Abigail dropped at the beginning of this year. It looked fun and maybe like the ballet/vampire horror movie mashup we didn’t know we needed. I made a mental note to try to snag free passes if thereContinue Reading
“Is the Ghost Adventures team going to investigate with the Skinwalker Ranch guys?” I wondered when I saw the announcement about the new season of Ghost Adventures. As they did with the “Lake of Death” and “Devil’s Island” episodes ahead of past seasons, they’ll also kick off this all-new seasonContinue Reading
Was Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House meant to serve as a warning or a cleverly disguised promo? That’s among the things I wondered after watching the Hulu documentary about the notorious McKamey Manor last year. A lot of accusations were made against owner Russ McKamey about just howContinue Reading
Were you a fan of A Haunted Road Atlas: Sinster Stops, Dangerous Destinations, and True Crime Tales? If so, you’ll be happy to know that a second book in the same vein (illustrations and all) is coming just in time for Halloween season. A Haunted Road Atlas: Next Stop releasesContinue Reading
The 2024 total solar eclipse has me thinking a lot about the 2017 eclipse. That’s probably why Space.com‘s article about the ways the 2024 total solar eclipse will vary from 2017’s caught my eye. For one, the width of their paths of totality differ. 2017’s was narrower (70 miles wide)Continue Reading
It’s been almost 70 years since Night of the Hunter premiered in 1955. By the time the remade version is released, it will have hit its platinum anniversary. That’s right. They’re redoing the classic (and terrifying!) thriller starring Robert Mitchum. (“They” being Scott Derrickson, who’s working on a script withContinue Reading
Recently, news agencies around the world reported about the cruise passengers “stranded” by their cruise ship during a tour. I put stranded in quotation marks for a couple of reasons. One, from Business Insider to Today.com and ABCNews.com, and even 9News in Australia, every headline contained the three same words:Continue Reading
You could easily be forgiven if you didn’t think a THEM season 2 was happening either. I know I didn’t, and I was pretty bummed about it. Not that season 1 left off on a major cliffhanger or anything. Or, at least, not from what I remember. (That was threeContinue Reading
Will Sci-Fi World really open this time? It’s a valid question since this wouldn’t be the first time they announced an opening date. Back in 2021, they announced the museum was coming in Summer 2022. They even launched a Kickstarter campaign to help meet that deadline. Sadly, the campaign failedContinue Reading
With a name like the “Devil Comet,” it’s easy to understand why its rare, “once-in-a-lifetime” appearance might cause alarm. Although, “once-in-a-lifetime” is a little misleading. It depends on when you’re born. There are those who were alive the last time it made an appearance in 1954. Just like today’s youthContinue Reading
When Ghost Adventures: House Calls premiered in 2022, many people wondered why Zak Bagans wasn’t on-site for the investigations. It seemed to be a combination of reasons, including experimenting with a different form of investigating, perhaps to try and assuage his fear of flying. But with the new season ofContinue Reading
