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 wish I had the talent, vision and patience of people like the Frog Queen. There’s a part of me that would love to design and build my own Halloween decorations. Okay, so what Chris creates is more than mere decorations. It’s a freaking entire whole creepy graveyard that drawsContinue Reading
Today I saw a clip of Josh Gates from Destination Truth (included below) getting his fright on at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. I couldn’t help but crack up. Been there, done that…sort of. I shared the clip on HJ’s FB page and a Jaunter named Tina left a comment aboutContinue Reading
Last year I wrote about Days of the Living Dead but I hadn’t watched any of their episodes yet. This year I have. ABOUT DAYS OF THE LIVING DEAD Their YouTube channel sums them up best, so I’m just going to let it do the talking. Days of the LivingContinue Reading
A couple of months ago, I wrote about how a fellow Jaunter, who also happens to be a cruise professional, approached me and asked if I’d be interested in helping to plan a paranormal cruise at sea. We’ve been working out the details and have now narrowed it down toContinue Reading
I love funny Halloween costumes. The funnier the better. As I was shopping around this Halloween, I came across some really s#!tty costumes. Literally. Which made them all the funnier. I decided they merited a second Wordless Wednesday post for today. Might as well share my amusement, right? Bull S#!tContinue Reading
What was your favorite kids cereal growing up? Two of mine were Lucky Charms and Count Chocula. I never would’ve thought of dressing up for Halloween as a favorite kids’ cereal mascot back in the day. However, these days I might. Especially because there are now kids’ cereals Halloween costumesContinue Reading
A few months back, Jessica from Ghost Stories and Haunted Places left a comment on Top Five Countries with the Best Paranormal Tourism: It is interesting that the country with one of the shorter histories made number one. You’d think the UK or Ireland with their long dark histories wouldContinue Reading
If you’ve followed me for a while now, you’ve likely realized how pokey I can be. If you haven’t, well…there you have it. I’m pokey, just so you know. Back at the start of the summer, I was fed up with my weight. I was looking for a newContinue Reading
Design Toscano is one of my favorite catalogs. I was a fan of their creations long before I signed up for their affiliate program. (Which is my way of making a disclaimer that if you click through and buy from any of the below links, you are supporting this site.Continue Reading
Earlier this year, I was asked about doing a media event for travel professionals in Galveston, Texas. It didn’t pan out, but it still might at a later date. The really cool thing was that they were going to put us all up in the Hotel Galvez, which was oneContinue Reading
I’ve done the drawing for the Pre-Halloween Mega Goody Giveaway. Before I announce the winner, I’ll note something I said in the drawing video. (Yes, I did record it this time. It will be posted on HJ’s Facebook page if you’re interested in seeing it.) CAN’T HAVE A GIVEAWAY WITHOUTContinue Reading
In addition to ghosts, I’m nuts about zombies. That’s why I got really excited when this past summer I saw an ad for a zombie run. Actually, it’s not just a zombie run. It’s an obstacle course “infested” with zombies. I’ve been raving about it since then, which hasContinue Reading
