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.
Okay, this is a cry for help on my part trying to figure out if (a) this is a joke, or (b) this is a legitimate cry for help and perhaps we can help this person. I guess the following email (pasted below) hit my inbox Monday. It’s been anotherContinue Reading
I forget how I started following Leonard Pickel, but I want to say Chad Savage of Sinister Visions was to blame. (I think I found Leonard via Chad’s Sinister Circuit somehow. Can’t quite remember.) At any rate, Leonard Pickel instantly piqued my interest. Why? If you’re a haunted attraction professionalContinue Reading
I’ve kind of been neglecting Movie Mondays lately. I haven’t come across many coming attraction trailers that have really gripped me. And I for sure have not come across any that have griped me as much as Phasma Ex Machina. My enthusiasm for it hasn’t faded one iota since IContinue Reading
When I welcomed soon-to-be Haunt Jaunts guest blogger Shanna Riley, I alluded to another anticipated guest blogger lined up thanks to Twitter. That guest blogger would be Jen Blaney (@JenBlaney). Much like Shanna, it was also because of a Tweet Jen sent me that I got the idea to extendContinue Reading

HOW TO PLAY Leave a comment below with your guess about how many Twitter followers Haunt Jaunts (@HauntJaunts) will have come Tuesday March 30, 2010.Continue Reading
I don’t care what anyone says. Time waster that Twitter may be for some, it’s been a freaking connection gold mine for me. Haunt Jaunts has two more guest bloggers lined up because of it. The next one is set up for now under the mysterious/exotic sounding username “skatoolaki.” (AlsoContinue Reading
I want to be BFFs with Beyond Ghosts. These are my kind of people. I’ve been itching to write about them ever since I found out what Beyond Ghosts is really all about. Which was early last week. I actually knew of them before that, though, via Twitter (@BeyondGhosts). AndContinue Reading
A couple weeks back (or possibly even longer than that) I saw a funny Tweet saying something about “swimming, ghost hunting, fried eggs?” (or some such) with a link attached. All I know is it piqued my interest enough to click the link. I was taken to a blog withContinue Reading
Today I’m feeling deeply humbled and more optimistic about humanity than I’ve felt in a while. It’s easy to get caught up in the news and the politics (especially bozos I disagree with) and feel alone, outnumbered, and misunderstood. But I’m a big believer in focusing on the positive. It’sContinue Reading
Dang it, dang it, dang it! I was so excited when I stumbled across some info about a 30 Days of Night sequel last week when looking up Kiele Sanchez. (I LOVED her in A Perfect Getaway and wanted to find out what else she’d been in.) Anyway, I happenedContinue Reading
image from stock.xchng Okay, normally I wouldn’t go all out on a party for my blog. After all, whoopie. I’ve been at it almost a year now. Big deal. Join the blogging crowd with all those who have accomplished the same thing. I appreciate that. The thing is, I’m gratefulContinue Reading
I’ve heard of My Funny Valentine, but this year the theme I’m coming across again and again is my Bloody Valentine. Not that I’m complaining. It’s great for those of us whose hearts beat to a more macabre drum. Here’s some of the ways I’ve found to tell your ValentineContinue Reading
