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.
Hello! Long time no write. Between the holidays, jaunting, and preparing Shadow People and Cursed Objects for release, I’ve had little time for blogging. Sadly. I love it. I miss it. I intend not to neglect it as badly as I’ve done the last two years, but…so far I haveContinue Reading
As explained on the Anthologies page, the release of the Shadow People and Cursed Objects anthology has now been pushed for the third time. Originally it was intended to come out by September 25, 2015. Then we re-grouped and aimed for December 1, 2015. Now we’re looking at February 1,Continue Reading
I was browsing the trailers on Hulu as I sometimes like to do and saw one for a movie that immediately caught my eye: Krampus. It’s not often we get treated to horror movies around the non-Halloween holiday season. Except for around Valentine’s Day. That’s always a good time ofContinue Reading
I wanted to save writing about our jaunt to the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial this past summer for a special occasion. Veteran’s Day presented the perfect opportunity. However, I wasn’t able to get it posted in time, so sadly I’m a day late. I’ve always wanted to visit NormandyContinue Reading
Received a super cool interactive “storymap” from The Killarney Hotel Group, in Co. Kerry, Ireland for the Most Haunted Places in Ireland. I’m embedding it below too, but it can also permanently be found on its own page under the Haunted Places section. Here’s an example of the type ofContinue Reading
A marketing rep from Pixel Bizarre contacted me about a free app (music to my ears) they have out: Pumpkin Blaster. It’s designed for iPhone and iPad. Since their description so beautifully covers it, I’m copying and pasting it below: PUMPKIN BLASTER – BLAST THEM ALL! Blast as many pumpkinsContinue Reading
Have you visited our Haunt Jaunts Halloween Scareporium lately? We sort of revamped it for Halloween 2015. Here’s some of what you’ll find: Updated Costumes After a slight site meltdown where 70% of our links went blank, we spent most of September refurbishing the Men’s Costumes, Women’s Costumes, and Couple’sContinue Reading
Sadly I’m delinquent in writing up this post. The publicity team for Phantosmia contacted me last month about their kickoff event, which took place this past Saturday, October 3, 2015. I failed to write it up before now because I put everything on hold to fix the problems over atContinue Reading
As I explained today over at the Scareporium and on HJ’s FB page, today we put the finishing touches on the Scareporium. Two weeks ago we noticed a major SNAFU. Broken links littered throughout the site prompting a “Site down! Site down!” fire drill. Ugh. Major headache. I knew IContinue Reading
We docked in Le Havre, France, on the last day of our British Isles cruise. Le Havre is a gateway to France’s Normandy region, somewhere I’ve long wanted to jaunt. Mainly because I’ve been curious about the D-Day beaches. I partly picked the cruise because it afforded a chance toContinue Reading
For today’s Movie Monday I’m featuring one of our little vids. It includes footage I captured during our shore excursion to Loch Ness. (In search of Nessie of course! I picked this cruise because it afforded us the opportunity to do that.) We didn’t see Nessie. In fact, our tourContinue Reading
For some, the end of the year or the start of a new one signifies a time of renewal, a time to make changes. For others, spring is the time to clean up and put a fresh face on things. For me, it’s Fall. I’ve been wanting to freshen upContinue Reading
