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.
Tomorrow Wayne and I leave on our cruise to Key West, Florida, and Nassau, Bahamas. After our trip to Cape San Blas earlier this year, I learned I didn’t do enough due diligence about haunted places there before we left. I changed my strategy this go around. I used theContinue Reading
As I told Chad Savage when he said he finally had time to answer my questions and to send ’em on over, I’m a HUNORMOUS fan of this man’s work. (I initially contacted him at the end of September/the beginning of October. a.k.a. An extremely busy time for anyone involvedContinue Reading
Strap on your hiking boots, folks. We’re off to Haunt Jaunt with Marianne O’connor, author of Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire. You might recall Ms. O’connor’s book was one of the prizes in my fiberdoodles-inspired Halloween Blog Party Giveaway. I mentioned back then that I’d be interviewing her. True toContinue Reading
Monday I wrote that I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if eventually the existence of an Abominable Snowman is proved. Imagine my excitement when I came across this video! They find a snowman…and it’s abominable all right! (But one thing I never saw coming…I never expected a suburban version!)Continue Reading
Recently I wrote about Warehouse on the Canal after a nice gentleman sent me some info about this allegedly haunted location in Canal Fulton, Ohio. I had sent an inquiry for more info directly to the owners on November 9. I was in such a hurry to write about itContinue Reading
< p style=”text-align: center;”> By TwitterIcon.com Today Haunt Jaunts hit what I think is an impressive mark. I say that because when I started Tweeting back in September I saw friends with 400+ followers and thought, “Wow. Maybe in a year that’ll be me.” Not that all of them hadContinue Reading
I am very pleased and exited to bring you this interview with artist Lewis Barrett Lehrman, Painter of Dark™. If his name sounds familiar it’s because I’ve written about him and his work here before. (See Dabbling in the Dark Arts.) Mr. Lehrman allowed me into his Haunted Studio (figurativelyContinue Reading
I have another noteworthy blog to share with you this week: GhostTheory. I’ve had it on my Blogroll for a while, but lately it’s stood out to me because of an article I’m working on. (“Haunted or Hype?” which has spawned more than the original article I hoped to writeContinue Reading
October was great. There were tons and tons and tons of shows on TV about myth monsters, such as wolfmen, vampires, and Bigfoot. Two shows in particular really grabbed my imagination, though. And both dealt with the same subject matter: the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman. I’ll get to them inContinue Reading
Today’s Movie Monday feature, Death Do Us Part, comes to me courtesy of friend and fellow writer Lisa Logan. In addition to writing fiction, she’s also a Senior Acquisitions Editor for Eternal Press and partner in crime with her husband Mike in their film company, Dragonfyre Entertainment. They actually wrote,Continue Reading
Sometimes a blog just really grabs me. I like it instantly and am hooked just as fast. That’s what happened when I found Fiona Broome’s Hollow Hill. I’m still a relatively new follower. I’m not even sure how I found it. (Likely culprits are either Twitter or Ghost Hunting Theories.)Continue Reading
I thought I’d explore something a little different for Friday Fun today: the demise of scary monsters. As some of you are aware I’m nuts for zombies. I think movies and books based on them are great fun. I also think they’re one of the last of the remaining “classic”Continue Reading
