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 decided it’s time to do another anthology. I’m excited to introduce this time’s theme: Haunted Playthings: 13 Tales of Terror Based on True Stories…or are they? Another one? Yes. In case you’re new around here, or have forgotten (it has been a few years), let me explain. The first oneContinue Reading
The other day I posted a quick intro to Travel Channel’s three new series, including Portals to Hell. I said there would be further posts to come on each show. Staying true to my word, here’s a bit more info about the new show starring Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman.Continue Reading
While scrolling through Instagram yesterday morning, an image of charred debris caught my eye. It had been posted by Wolf’s Museum of Mystery (@wolfsmuseum).

Want to have a killer date night for Valentine’s Day 2019? Using the Ghost Tour and Ghost Hunting Events listings, (which includes more than ghost tours and hunts, such as off-season open haunted houses like the ones I’m sharing here), I came up with 61 haunted houses in 26 statesContinue Reading
The last couple of years I basically abandoned the Ghost Tour & Ghost Hunting Events page. At least here on the site. Last year I did note that while the page was taking a temporary hiatus, events were still being shared on HJ’s Eerie Events and Paracons Facebook Group. Well,Continue Reading
“The ghosts,” was my husband’s answer. The question? “What brings you to the Drake this weekend?” As usual, my husband was trying to embarrass me. Or maybe he was trying to help me. I’m never quite sure. It’s sometimes hard to tell. He’s not into the paranormal like I am,Continue Reading
Cons as in conferences and conventions. I’m not trying to con anyone. Just trying to keep track of interests I have that may suit others too. Such as true crime conferences and conventions. It may have been fortuitous that I fell behind in my maintenance of the Paracons & HorrorContinue Reading
Phantom of the Opera really has nothing to do with Madame Morbid’s Trolley Tours –apart from the fact that I found it via the TodayTix app, which I had downloaded to try and find discounted tickets to Phantom. On Broadway. Because I was in New York City and had someContinue Reading
Recently I wrote about how the haunted Old South Pittsburgh Hospital is preparing to reopen. It was fun to revisit some of my old posts from way back when I had explored there. Like the four experiences I had on the third floor, and the K2 craziness in the basement,Continue Reading
I thought seeing the Ghost Deer of River Park was cool. Actually, I think anytime I’ve gotten a chance to see a white, or albino, animal has been cool. It wasn’t until I was in my 30s that I saw my first one, though. And it was all thanks toContinue Reading
