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.
In Changes to HJ Part 1, I explained that we’re in the process of changing a few things around here. In Part 1 I focused on how we added a Writers Wanted section and are currently “hiring.” (Have to use that word loosely since the pay is so minimal.) NowContinue Reading
We welcome back guest blogger Mel Dawn with another Frightful Friday installment. This time about ghost cats. If you like it, be sure to let her know with a comment or a like. Thanks! Many cat owners don’t like to confess that they’re seeing things after Fluffy is gone, butContinue Reading
Yesterday I wrote about Week in Weird’s Tin Foil Hat Challenge. What a hoot! I had a lot of fun fashioning a tin foil hat for both myself and Skellie. Oh who am I kidding? The challenge gave me a great excuse to goof off. Some people play with dolls.Continue Reading

Where possible, I subscribe to notification emails for paracons and paranormal events so I can be sure to add them to our Paracons & Horror Fests page. One of the company’s whose emails I subscribe to is Ghost Hunt Weekends. They recently sent a notice out about a one-of-a-kind/first-of-its-kind “Titanic”Continue Reading
Have you heard about the creepy clown spotted on Green Bay’s streets late at night? According to the Huffington Post article, “Why Is This Creepy Clown Haunting A Wisconsin Town?,” Gags was first spotted Monday of this week. He seems to be “haunting” the same location, meaning each time he’sContinue Reading
It’s the first day of a new month and you know what that means: time for a new Caption This photo! This month’s pick was inspired by a few Daily and Weekly observances I saw on Brownielocks: National Psychic Day (1st), National Psychic Week (1st-5th), and International Clown Week (1st-7th).Continue Reading
You may notice some new changes around here. We’ve added a couple of new sections. (Which we’ll address in another post.) We’ve tinkered around with the sidebar too. We’ve also slimmed down our main menu a bit by removing some things from it and adding them to a couple newContinue Reading
Have you had a chance to watch any of Netflix’s newest original, “Stranger Things,” yet? If not, don’t feel bad. It was just released this past Friday, July 15, 2016. However, brace yourself. You’re likely to start hearing about it now that some viewers have had the weekend to bingeContinue Reading
I’m not sure anyone missed it, but earlier this year I took down the Forum. It never really got much action, as far as comments, but it did draw lots of views. Well, actually let me back up. It did get some comments. The spammy kind. Right before I tookContinue Reading
I finally had a chance to read Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife, which has been out for a few years now. Mary Roach certainly did some extensive research for this book. From talking to parapsychologists who are experimenting with ways to prove “ghosts” (or how we experience them) can beContinue Reading
Sincerest apologies for the delay in posting this month’s contest. I meant to schedule it to post in my absence while I was on a two-week jaunt in Alaska, but alas… I didn’t get that far before we left. I knew I was going to have limited Internet access, soContinue Reading
