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.
If you want to (and you know some of you out there will), it’s more possible now than ever before for you and your pet –heck, your whole family– to wear matching or coordinating costumes for Halloween. I realized this after I saw this Cat in the Hat Pet Halloween costume forContinue Reading
I finally had a chance to watch last week’s Waverly Hills Ghost Adventures episode. I was sorry it took me so long to watch. Waverly Hills is one of my favorite haunted places. It’s because of the shadow people. They fascinate me as much as they scare me. The TheoryContinue Reading

When my friend Kim was here a couple of weeks ago for the surprise birthday party my husband threw me, I took her to Centennial Park to show her the Parthenon. It’s really quite a spectacular sight and one I recommend anyone visiting Nashville to check out. There’s a museumContinue Reading
THE SAGA OF HOW WE LEARNED ABOUT THE MEAN KITTY SONG If you follow HJ on Facebook you might’ve seen my posts (rants and raves) about my computer crashing late last week. Because it’ll take 7 to 10 business days for a fix-it disk to arrive, I opted to buyContinue Reading
There are all kinds of lists out at this time of year, such as best scary movies, best costumes, and of course, best haunted houses. Last year I confessed about my problem with Halloween haunted houses. Basically, they freak me out. Literally. I go into major meltdown mode trying to getContinue Reading
I’m doing something a little different this Movie Monday. Rather than featuring a movie, I’m featuring a blog that reviews them. It’s called Nate’s Peer Review and it’s maintained by my friend Nate Phillips. Nate graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Film & Video Studies. HisContinue Reading
I’m on schedule to post the winner of the Crazy Dog T-Shirt giveaway, since I said it would be today. But I apologize for combining it with the winner announcement for the Mrs. B’s Haunted Blog Tour Giveaway. I was supposed to announce that winner yesterday. WHY THE WINNER DRAWING WASContinue Reading
Halloween costumes for dogs have been around for a while. Halloween costumes for cats, on the other hand, have only started gaining popularity in recent years. Maybe because have you ever tried dressing a cat? The little headgear Halloween getups are cute, but I almost lost a hand trying toContinue Reading
I was driving to tennis the other day when I spotted these Pumpkinbales on the side of the road. Of course I had to stop and get a pic. (If you read this, Coach Beth, I saw them on the way to clinic but I actually stopped to take photosContinue Reading
I received a very nice email from a representative of Crazy Dog T-shirts the other day. He had an offer he wanted to share with my site’s visitors. Here’s what he had to say: We love Halloween just as much as you do, and we wanted to offer your site’sContinue Reading
