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.
Twice this past week I’ve lucked out and had the pleasure of eating at Chuy’s in Cool Springs. THE RESULT OF CHUY’S EXPERIENCE #1 The first time was last Sunday when my husband and I went for dinner. That’s when I snapped pictures (below) of the inside. They’d transformed it for HalloweenContinue Reading

I’ll let you enjoy the episode as it happens. THERE SHE BLOWS! But I will say this: I used toContinue Reading
Mr. Skull may be one of the culprits that crashed my computer. He had a reason to be mad at me. He didn’t much like this video I made of him, which, thanks to a data rescue feature on my fix-it disk, I was able to retrieve. Now youContinue Reading

If you’ve been following the Haunt Jaunts Spooktacular Halloween Blog Party festivities from the beginning, you know that early on (like right at the start) there was a big hiccup: my computer crashed.

He probably would prefer I didn’t, but I have to thank paranormal pop culture expert and journalist Aaron Sagers (whose work can be found on Pop Matters and who founded Paranormal Pop Culture) for making this interview with Kris Williams of Ghost Hunters happen.

Remember back in the day when ushers at movie theaters used to direct you to your seat with the aid of a flashlight? (Well, maybe some of you won’t. I really don’t. I think they’d done away with such courtesy by the time I started going to movies. But I’veContinue Reading

A couple of Sundays back I was watching Mad Men and learned an interesting tidbit: The Zombie Cocktail was first popularized at the 1939 World’s Fair. Huh, I didn’t even know there was such a drink as a zombie cocktail! (I’m not a big drinker, though, so that’s not too surprising.Continue Reading
