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.

Some people may have different ways of filling in after the “….” How about you? Here’s what I say: It’s never been as good as the 1969 and 1972 episodes. Maybe the 1976 too. Scrappy Doo was okay, but it started going downhill from there. Where is all this comingContinue Reading
