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 have some big news about HauntJaunts.net the site. (Just the website, not the blog. I’m still continuing with the blog.) So here goes: I just officially launched the site this month, but I’ve made the hard decision to back off from it right now. “Why? What happened?” Well, MercuryContinue Reading
We’re fast approaching the Haunt Jaunting high season. Yes, I’m talking about that month of October when ghost tours, ghost hunting tours/classes, and haunted houses (of the variety that crop up around this time of year) move to the top of everyone’s To Do list. But something you don’t seeContinue Reading
There are lots of ways to find blogs to follow isn’t there? A friend suggests one, a Google Alert leads you to another, following someone on Twitter leads to some, and of course there are the other blogs you already follow. Recently I’ve come across some pretty cool blogs. IContinue Reading
Thanks to a recent issue of Woman’s World magazine, I came across some cool hotel and museum freebies. They could potentially be applied to any Haunt Jaunts you’d like to make. (Say to a Spooky Stay, Apparition Attraction or Historic Haunt.) VOLUNTEER REWARDS Do you do volunteer work anywhere? CompleteContinue Reading
A couple weeks back I wrote about FEARnet’s a Haunting in LA Sweepstakes. That Haunt Jaunt isn’t necessarily Halloween specific, although it does take place in October. But it did include something popular to do around Halloween, a ghost tour. It also gave the winner more than just one prize.Continue Reading
< p style=”text-align: center;”> I have Twitter to thank for introducing me to Scare for a Cure, a non-profit out of Austin, Texas, that “raises money for local cancer charities one scream at a time.” I figured it’d be a good thing to write about today. For one, Halloween isContinue Reading
I was very saddened to hear the news late last night that Patrick Swayze had finally succumbed to his cancer. Normally I wouldn’t write about a celebrity’s death, but he was in Ghost. I figured if nothing else I could tie that in with the usual theme of blog. ButContinue Reading
‘Tis the season for horror movies. I just got wind of one I hadn’t heard about yet: Paranormal Activity. Click here to check out the movie’s website. The title alone would have piqued my interest, but I read something about it on a site called Film School Rejects that madeContinue Reading
Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today! In honor of my birthday today, my friend Jeanine sent me my gift: a link to a JibJab sendable. It had an image next to it, with my picture (pre-chemo, back when I had hair) on it. Her note to me was: “Welcome to yourContinue Reading
My husband had a host of travel troubles last week. “Damn Mercury retrograde!” he cussed on the phone to me while he waited to hear when his delayed flight might be allowed to take-off. (This after troubles just getting to the airport, then fearing his flight might be canceled, butContinue Reading
I’ve got a confession to make regarding Halloween Haunted Houses. I’m making it because starting this week, then over the coming weeks, I’ll be writing extensively about all things Halloween. But especially about haunted houses. (They’re among the perfect Haunt Jaunts to make at this time of year, aren’t they?)Continue Reading
This morning my Google Alerts held two stories that are good examples of the very real dangers of ghost hunting. Specifically, why so many ghost tours, ghost hunting teams, and haunted places websites, including HauntJaunts.net, do not condone trespassing. For the veteran and novice ghost hunters alike, let these storiesContinue Reading
