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.
A while back I came across a tender shark love story that I just knew I had to share for Shark Week. I think Shark Week 2012 is officially over, or at least officially winding down, but I think there’s still time to share it, right? I mean, it’s notContinue Reading
Yesterday my friend Jade Walker educated me about a serial killer named Dorothea Puente –which led me to learning her house may be haunted. It all started because of a picture I posted first on HJ’s Facebook page, then on Twitter. Here’s the photo: Here was the Tweet I sentContinue Reading
I don’t know about you, but come August I’m ready to start my Halloween shopping. Two of my favorite Halloween shopping spots, SpiritHalloween.com and Halloween Express, are running deals in August.

I’m pretty positive nothing lurks behind the walls of St. Augustine’s Lightner Museum, however…for a split second during our most recent visit I had my suspicions. The Lightner Museum is one of my favorite haunts. On my first visit there in 1999, I felt certain it was a placeContinue Reading

Last night I didn’t dream I went to Manderley again. Maybe because I’ve never been there. I did dream of Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, though. Probably because we just jaunted there this past weekend. It’s been on my list of haunted places I want to jaunt to in Tennessee. This weekendContinue Reading
At the beginning of last year, I wrote about a new vampire movie trying to be released called Midnight Son. One of the producers contacted me recently to let me know it had finally been released and where people could find it. As per the email, I’m pleased to passContinue Reading
I got an email with some information about a trailer for a movie called Pleasantview State. I don’t think the movie has actually been made yet, though. I think they put this trailer together to try and sell the concept of the movie. (Not entirely sure about that. I couldContinue Reading

Due to my tennis schedule, I slacked the past few weeks on reporting about upcoming paranormal events that have hit my radar. Sadly a few have come and gone in that time that I couldn’t list. However, here’s a few I can still report on. They include both physical eventsContinue Reading
My apologies. Lately I’ve neglected my duties as the Director of Paranormal Tourism for Haunt Jaunts. My poor blog has suffered the past few months thanks to my other passion: tennis. I play on a couple of leagues, including a USTA one. That team won our local level here inContinue Reading
