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.
On Friday November 1 (a.k.a. Dia de los Muertos) I had a great conversation with Kevin, Head Ghoul for Ghoulish Goodies, which I recorded for the podcast. Kevin is super passionate about Halloween and horror. We’ve been in touch ever since he launched his business. (It’s coming up on itsContinue Reading

This post contains affiliate links. See affiliate disclaimer here. Something that’s been on my mind lately is the time we explored one of Agatha Christie’s haunts: the Pera Palace Hotel.

**Spoiler Alert** This post contains them. Read at your own risk. My husband and I took advantage of Fandango’s Advanced Screening of Doctor Sleep on October 30th. Like The Shining, it’s also based on a book of the same name by Stephen King. I haven’t read the book (yet) soContinue Reading

But behind the scenes, some celebrities have experienced encounters with the unknown that are not make believe. In the new Travel Channel series Famously Afraid, stars share their terrifying, trueContinue Reading
I was so excited for my chat with Alexandra Holzer, but also a little nervous. However, I’m always nervous before interviews. I want to ask interesting questions that lead to a good conversation, because I want to make it worth their while also. I don’t want to ask the sameContinue Reading

It’s the premier of World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt: Pennhurst Asylum and the season finale of Ghost Hunters.

I really like the concept of A&E’s new show, World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt: Pennhurst Asylum, which premieres October 30 at 8 pm ET/PT. What sets it apart from other ghost hunting shows we’ve seen thus far –and where the “biggest” comes from in its title– is that it’s the longestContinue Reading
Before my chat with Alexandra Holzer, daughter of paranormal pioneer, Hans Holzer, on October 19th, I asked what would you ask her? I received some fabulous questions. (Thanks again to all who submitted). I had shared which questions I was thinking of asking her in the “what would you ask her”Continue Reading

One of the weird days and observances on October 25 is Chucky the Notorious Killer Doll Day. (It’s also Frankenstein Friday.) In honor of Chucky, I thought it’d be fun to spend time with a creepy doll of sorts: Laughing Sal. Not that’s she’s a killer doll, but there mayContinue Reading
