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.

Saturday, I snookered my husband into jaunting down to the Rippavilla Plantation in Columbia, Tennessee. Earlier this year, I learned of Rippavilla’s Ghosts and Grits events. Then I saw a video about the plantation on Tennessee Crossroads. (Included below.) I believe Mike Sears with the Volunteer Paranormal Research Society hadContinue Reading
