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.

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.

Do you think The Walking Dead creators took the whole “If Daryl dies, we riot” threat to heart? Is that why they decided on the Daryl Dixon spin-off? I’m not sure. It’s something I’d ask if I ever got to talk to anybody from the show, but I have aContinue Reading
