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, I promised I’d record the drawing for the winner of the Halloween Dinner & a Decoration Giveaway and that’s exactly what I did. And, as embarrassing as it turned out, I’m even still posting it! I didn’t pick a back up winner though. Since there were only 3 peopleContinue Reading

Earlier this month I explained the things I lived through that made 2008 such a catastrophic year for me. Included was the shock of discovering someone I played volleyball with (and saw on a weekly basis and joked around with) was arrested for being the Wooded Rapist, a serial rapistContinue Reading
Blogs written by other people are not the only things I am behind on this week. There are also my invaluable Google Alerts. One from Tuesday included “VIDEO!
