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.
I love when people email questions seeking advice on planning their trips to haunted places. Here’s an email I recently received from someone planning a trip to haunted New Orleans: My name is Kaylie, and my best friend and I plan on taking a haunted trip to New Orleans duringContinue Reading
Posting paranormal events as I find them seems to be working pretty good. I do believe I’ll be sticking with this process for the foreseeable future. Even cooler, this batch of paranormal events was all acquired by people telling me about them. My friend told me about the one inContinue Reading
I was trying to get the jump on the day by writing about Friday the 13th events earlier in the week. Of course once Friday the 13th hit, I discovered three other noteworthy events to share. “Ghost Tails” Charity Dog Walk & Ghost Tour – I received an “Eerie E-vite”Continue Reading
On the season premier of Destination Truth, in the “Belize Goblin” episode, Josh Gates and the rest of the DT crew stopped at a market. They were there to pick up a few things to take as gifts to a tribe they were on their way to see. But ofContinue Reading
Other than watching one of the Friday the 13th movies (usually either the first or second one, because those two are my favorites), I don’t believe I’ve ever been to any Friday the 13th events. I’d like to, though. (As long as no hockey mask-wearing serial killers were going toContinue Reading
I pick on “reality” paranormal TV shows a lot. I started out a huge Sci Fi (back when it went by that name) and Ghost Hunters fan. Then Ghost Hunters changed and so did Syfy, right about the same time. I haven’t watched Ghost Hunters in years. In fact,Continue Reading
Halloween is fast approaching. I know. I can hear some of you saying, “It’s only mid-July, Courtney. It’s still summer. Halloween is a long way away.” Oh no, my friends, Halloween is inching ever closer and will be here before we know it. I’m starting early this year. Over theContinue Reading
CAUTION: Rant ahead. I read two articles about things paranormal researcher Joe Nickell discussed on a July 4th Coast to Coast AM show about ghosts and ghost hunters, and it got me all fired up. (See: Professional paranormal investigator: There’s no evidence ghosts or aliens exist and Joe Nickell saysContinue Reading
As I’m writing this, my favorite men’s tennis player, Andy Murray, is battling against Roger Federer in the final at Wimbeldon. It’s the fourth set. Federer is up two to one. There was a rain delay during the third set. That’s when they showed a mini-documentary about Murray and IContinue Reading
Okay, so I keep coming across paranormal events. Please bear with me as I continue to tweak my reporting of them. Still trying to figure out the best way to share them. The week they happen seems too little time. (Unless , of course, I’ve just learned of them theContinue Reading
At the start of this year, I listed horror movies coming out in 2012 for the first quarter of the year. Then, as usual, I fell off the wagon. I didn’t follow up for the second quarter. Now we’re almost to the third quarter of the year. With the HalloweenContinue Reading
Over Memorial Day weekend, my husband and I attended a wedding in downtown Nashville. We took I-65 to get there. You know those signs they have over highways these days? The ones that tell you travel times to certain exits or warn of accidents or delays up ahead? I guessContinue Reading
