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.

As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

I’m always curious what kind of info the Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco newsletter will contain. (Like us, they don’t send them often. Usually around Friday the 13th or having something to do with one.) I know when one hits my inbox, something good will be inside, though. I just received their mostContinue Reading
I’m not even sure how it was that I came to look up the Queen Mary’s Stateroom B340 on their site. Maybe something I had read in one of the many articles about it that I’d included in a Haunted Headlines post prompted me to? Who knows? However the whyContinue Reading
On Twitter I like to share things based on the day of the week. For instance, Mondays can be many things, including: #MovieMonday #MysteryMonday, and #MonsterMonday just to name a few possibilities.
