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.

Like a lot of others, I’m not a huge fan of most franchise sequels. I find most are lame and are a gigantic let down. With a few exceptions, like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings series. And, I have to admit back in the Eighties whenContinue Reading
The solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 is being dubbed the Great American Eclipse. (Naturally. Everything has to have a snazzy catch-phrase these days, right?) However, to be fair, this is a pretty significant astronomical event for the United States. It deserves some hoopla. Are you ready for it? OrContinue Reading
I’m very excited about two new Netflix offerings we’ll be able to enjoy in the coming months. Well, hopefully enjoy. I’m assuming a lot. One, that since you’re reading this, you also like viewing options like the ones below. Two, that Neflix will once again come through with awesome productions.Continue Reading
Five years after an unexplained malfunction causes the death of 15 tour-goers and staff on the opening night of a Halloween haunted house tour, a documentary crew travels back to the scene of the tragedy to find out what really happened. I finally got to stream Hell House LLC onContinue Reading
We’re full of questions today, aren’t we? In addition to wondering if you’d find it helpful to know who’s hosting an event, we’d also like to know something else. Would you find it useful if we listed events on our Paracons & Horror Fests page by category? Currently we haveContinue Reading
After months of neglect, we’re updating our Ghost Hunting Tours & Events listings in our Find a Conference or Event section. We’d love to get a little feedback on how we might improve the listings. One thing we’re considering doing is adding who the event is hosted by. Would youContinue Reading
I’ve seen them called a couple of different names, such as tragedy selfies or disaster selfies. Lately I’ve noticed a lot of articles about such selfies, like: Artist Shames Tourists Taking Inappropriate Selfies At The Holocaust Memorial Site In Berlin (NSFW) Yolocaust or Cheeky Exploit? ‘Dark tourism’ and selfies: WhatContinue Reading
It’s always nice to be noticed, right? We were sure floored when we got an email over the weekend from Anuj Aragwal, the Founder of Feedspot, notifying us that we had been included among their list of the Top 50 Paranormal Blogs on the web. Say what? Wow! Holy cow.Continue Reading
One of the ports on our British Isles cruise a couple years back was Greenock, Scotland. We’d done our research and knew that a quick train ride would take us to Glasgow. Before we’d left home, I’d bought City Sightseeing Glasgow Hop-On Hop-Off Tour tickets for us from our affiliate,Continue Reading
Skellie is taking on yet even more responsibilities around here. In addition to Skellie Shout Outs, his Tuesday night break song DJ duties on our radio show, and getting his own email (skellie@hauntjaunts.net if you want to hit him up for a shout out!), we’ve now given him author accessContinue Reading
Do you like HoHos? I don’t mean the snack cake kind. (Which, sweet tooth sufferer that I am, amazingly enough I’ve never had an affinity for.) I’m talking about the touristy kind of HoHos, as in Hop-On, Hop-Off tours. Too Touristy? There are some travelers who find these sorts ofContinue Reading
