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 am notorious for being days, if not weeks, behind in making comments on all the blogs I follow. With my other biz picking up like it has and summer here with all the activities that brings, that means my time crunch is only going to get worse. (From nowContinue Reading
While I was putting together some info about historic haunted places for Darlene at Destinations Travel Magazine, I was reminded of haunted places I’d like to Haunt Jaunt to here in Tennessee. I’ve been to a few already, such as: Grand Ole Opry Ryman Auditorium The Hermitage Carnton Plantation StonesContinue Reading
Author Joyce Lavene (of the writing team Joyce and Jim Lavene, who I recently interviewed about their newest release from Berkley, A Timely Vision) surprised me by saying she’d like to interview me on her blog, The Romance of Mystery. Say what? Really? Cool! She asked some fun questions, andContinue Reading
Memorial Day Weekend…who doesn’t live for weekends like this? Wayne ended up not having to work all weekend, so that leaves three glorious days to Haunt Jaunt at will. We’d hoped to steal away to St. Louis to visit friends this weekend. Trouble was we weren’t able to let themContinue Reading
Yesterday I wondered which Sex and the City girl you’d Haunt Jaunt with, but thanks to a comment my friend Tracie left on HJ’s Facebook page I’m now asking the same about the men of Sex and the City. (No one can accuse me of not being an equal opportunityContinue Reading
Yesterday the Top 10 Blog included @HauntJaunts in its list of Top 10 Twitter People of the Day. I didn’t know that, though, until @JaneCys sent me a congratulatory Tweet with a link to the post. I’d seen @TheTop10Blog’s Tweet mentioning me along with @BarryckR, @paperspaints, and @BloggingBlog, but thereContinue Reading
I know Sex and the City has nothing to do with the paranormal, but I love the show anyway. I’m excited for Sex and the City 2, even though I know sequels usually suck. It’s just a good excuse to spend more time with the girls. Which got me toContinue Reading
The Lost Finale sparked as much talk as its sensational first season series opener. Heaven knows Lost sparked more questions than just about any other show in the history of TV ever has. That’s why the finale was so controversial. Fans expected it to be crucial to wrapping everything up.Continue Reading
There were a lot of factors that went into giving birth to Haunt Jaunts. Like any pregnancy there was an egg and a sperm. But in HJ’s case I think there were actually multiple sperms. The egg was the basic idea, which first started off as being a book concept,Continue Reading
The series finale of Lost. I can’t believe it’s over. They’ve strung us fans along for how many years now? And all for what reason? Will we finally find out tonight? I decided to finally utilize the Discussion feature on HJ’s FB fan page with this topic: The end ofContinue Reading
Last week’s Follow Friday list went pretty well so I decided to do it again this week. Yes, I realize it’s Saturday. Yes, I’m a day late and already blowing the rhythm I’d hoped to get into. What can I say? I’m rhythmically challenged! At any rate, I wanted toContinue Reading
Last week I saw an ad for a really cool looking new show coming to NBC this summer: Persons Unknown. It looks like freaky, mind-bending fun. The clip I saw (the first one below) immediately grabbed my attention. It reminded me of a dream I once had where I endedContinue Reading
