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 came across an article in my Google alerts called “A Night in a Haunted Museum.” It caught my eye because it was about the prison in Canon City, Colorado. My husband’s family on his mother’s side all live down there. Before his grandma passed away we used to go downContinue Reading
I blame Katy Perry’s E.T. song for inspiring this post. I love it. Luckily so must a lot of others, because it comes on constantly. Whenever I’m in the car, which I’ve been a lot lately, I hear it. Perfect. I can groove along with it while I drive toContinue Reading
A year ago, starting on May 1 and continuing into May 2, Nashville was assaulted with unrelenting rain. The result was too many inches of water in too little time. The rivers swelled, unable to hold it, and spilled over. Land, homes, and people who weren’t expecting the waters to riseContinue Reading
I totally spaced doing the drawing yesterday to determine who the winners of the Free Books Giveaway would be. I got so riled up about the Fact or Faked thing that when I got home from my morning tennis game, I sat down and banged that post out, then WayneContinue Reading
Pardon the title’s French, but I have to call ’em like I see them. And, folks, I see a bunch of shit. Okay, maybe that’s being too harsh. What I actually see is some super shitty investigative work. MY PROBLEM WITH FACT OR FAKED I have been really torn about this show from theContinue Reading
The other morning I woke up super early and could not fall back to sleep. I flipped on the TV and came across a program on Science Channel called “Humanzees.” I didn’t know it was called that when I flipped to it, though. I just immediately quit flipping when IContinue Reading
Nathan from A State of Mind got me thinking about ouija boards. He’s working on a new project and asked me a few questions about them. It sparked a memory from when I was about 12 years old. I was in seventh grade and some girlfriends and me decided we wanted to messContinue Reading

I interrupt my regularly scheduled haunted places and paranormal tourism blogcasting with a plea for help. If anyone finds my patience and sanity, please contact me immediately! Also, if you know how to defeat Gremlins, please tell me! The past two weeks have been crazy and nothing seems to beContinue Reading
The other day I asked the question on Haunt Jaunts’ Facebook page: “Do you collect souvenirs on your travels?” I answered it “No,” but then I realized that’s not exactly true. Photographs count as souvenirs, right? I take a ton of pictures when traveling. I love landscapes and interesting city scenes,Continue Reading
Ninety-nine years ago yesterday Titanic struck an iceberg just before midnight on April 14, 1912. When it sank a short time later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, it claimed the lives of over 1,500 people. Last September we took a 10-day Canada/New England cruise. We started in New York and ended in QuebecContinue Reading
I first learned about Spook Hill in Lake Wales, Florida when I was a little girl. For those who are old enough to remember the show That’s Incredible! perhaps you, too, saw the episode where it was featured. Apparently it made an impression. Over twenty years later I thoughtContinue Reading
