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.

What is happening in Chicago? Why are so many people suddenly spotting flying anomalies? Is it a bird? A plane? Superman? It’s definitely not a plane or Superman, and if it’s a bird, it’s a new, as yet unidentified, species. What am I talking about? Something interesting that Fortean ResearcherContinue Reading
