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.
Ghost Adventures fans brace yourself for Travel Channel’s “Ghostober” event, which features 31 days of spine-chilling premieres. Zak Bagans and the rest of the GAC team –Aaron Goodwin, Jay Wasley and Billy Tolley– will investigate iconic locations that are hotbeds of creepy and unnerving hauntings in all-new October specials: GhostContinue Reading
My friend Pamela K. Kinney posted the news of Rosemary Ellen Guiley’s death yesterday on the Haunt Jaunts Hangout Facebook group. I couldn’t believe it at first. Probably like most everyone else who heard the news, I was shocked. Not that I knew Ms. Guiley. But I of course knewContinue Reading
This post contains affiliate links. See affiliate disclaimer here. Unfortunately, we had to make a jaunt to Denver for a funeral this past weekend. Well, I say unfortunate because death is sad. Usually. There are exceptions to that rule –for good and bad reasons. In this case it was aContinue Reading
Travel Channel is bringing another former Destination America show to its network this year. (The other being Mountain Monsters.) In this case, best friends and ghost hunters Dalen Spratt, Juwan Mass and Marcus Harvey are investigating and ghostplainin’ in a new eight-part Travel Channel series. Ghost Brothers: Haunted Houseguests premieresContinue Reading
I don’t know about you, but it’s a rare treat when I get to see a newly released movie in the theaters anymore. Used to be going to the movies was a weekly occurrence at best, or every other week at worst. Now I’m lucky to see a handful ofContinue Reading
When I received the press release about “Mountain Monsters” moving to Travel Channel, I didn’t post it all. There was more to it, including something that really intrigued me. The two-hour season premiere will pick up where Season Three left off –with AIMS (Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings) team membersContinue Reading
Full disclosure: The answer to why Mountain Monsters moved to Travel Channel is not as shocking as I made the headline suggest. It was a shameless ploy to practice my interest-piquing skills. (If you’re reading this, #MissionAccomplished!) Anyway, I figured I better warn you to lower your expectations a bit.Continue Reading
Back in March, Lesia shared info about how the Hales Bar Dam haunted tours had closed. Sadly, the ghost tour operators turned out to be shysters. After booking tours and taking people’s money up front, the tours abruptly stopped. No explanation. Just pffft. Changed all their contact info, deleted theirContinue Reading
Fan of Mountain Monsters? Well, they’re coming back for a fourth season, but to a new channel. Mountain Monsters moves to its new home on Travel Channel with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, August 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Don’t worry. Even though it’s moving from Destination America, theContinue Reading
If you’re new here, or if you’ve never been here, then you may not be familiar with a fun contest I used to run every month: the Caption It contest. I’d find a photo from Pixabay or similar and encourage people to submit either a caption or a flash storyContinue Reading
I’ve got dummies on my brain this week. Why? Because, as I wrote in “The Vent Haven Museum: The World’s Only Museum Dedicated to Ventriloquism,” National Ventriloquism Week is upon us. (If it even still exists. But that’s a post for another time –after I’ve done some further research.) TheContinue Reading
I have it noted on the Weird Holidays & Observances calendar that National Ventriloquism Week is July 17-20 this year. However, I always like to fact-check myself to make sure I have dates and such right. I noticed I had the week linked to something, which turns out to beContinue Reading
