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.
As I mentioned on our Appreciation Award, I’ve been Haunt Jaunting for four years now. On top of coming back from my hiatus and giving the site a fresh new look, I decided to play with my Corel Video Studio Pro X4 and create a whole new Haunt Jaunts promoContinue Reading
In April of this year Haunt Jaunts celebrated its fourth anniversary. Unfortunately, since I was taking time off to deal with some new health and, consequently, emotional issues, I didn’t get a chance to celebrate like I normally would have. Today I would like to take a moment to celebrateContinue Reading
Earlier this week Jane from Dwellable contacted me about being a featured blogger on their site after researching haunted Cape May and finding a Haunt Jaunts post about it. Curious, I checked it out and immediately liked what I saw. I added the “Dwellback” button, then wrote Jane to askContinue Reading
A friend suggested I watch a series called Borgias. The other night I watched the first two episodes. During the second episode, a diplomat or royalty or something from Turkey factors into the interests of two of the show’s main characters. Ever since we went to Istanbul, I perk upContinue Reading
In honor of Memorial Day I decided to write about a fantastic program I watched on PBS last week called The Ghost Army. Wow. I was absolutely engrossed. I don’t know if everyone has a favorite war or era of military history, but both WWI and WWII have always fascinatedContinue Reading
Last year, my friend Dinell shared a link to a NY Times article about a man who was killed while trying to create a Bigfoot sighting. It happened in Montana. The man was dressed in a “ghillie” suit, which is made to resemble foliage and camouflage military snipers. “He wasContinue Reading
Last week I wrote to explain how I’ve been haunted by a new disease and that’s why HJ took a hiatus. There’s a bit more to the story I didn’t share that contributed to me stepping away for a few months. On top of starting out 2013 sick (first withContinue Reading
Hello all! I’m writing to explain why I took the past few months off. You see, I needed to regroup, re-prioritize, and in general get a grip on myself. SICK Starting last October, I kept falling ill every two weeks. Just colds really, but bad ones that left me exhaustedContinue Reading
I received an interesting email last week. Another one from producers looking for first person accounts for a new TV show. But what caught my eye about this one was it’s right up my alley: haunted vacations! I started Haunt Jaunts specifically because of encounters I had while on theContinue Reading
To any who check this blog more regularly than just landing here via searches, apologies for being so quiet lately. This year has gotten off to a rocky start. I have been sick a lot to start out 2013. Then I got some health news that sort of sent meContinue Reading
This is a sadly long overdo shout out and BIG thanks to Emily at TShirtPrinting.org for hooking me up with my very own Haunt Jaunts T-shirt. I had hoped to order some to perhaps sell but they are based out of the U.K. and, as Emily put it, aren’t reallyContinue Reading
Got to make this disclaimer ahead of time: Group Getaways is one of our affiliates. I’ve been keeping a watch on Groupon Getaway deals each week to see if any haunted hotels come up. This week they have one! It’s for the Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia. The first HomesteadContinue Reading
