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.
Thanks to an announcement that Travel Channel and discovery+ made in May about a full slate of new series, specials, and seasons ahead for their 2022 paranormal programming, we knew a little of what to expect for Ghostober 2022. However, today they revealed the full enchilada of programming. Like lastContinue Reading
What is the Betz Mystery Sphere? Is it alien technology left behind by extraterrestrial visitors? Or is it something manmade, and the real mystery is how it ended up on one Florida family’s property to begin with? No matter what it is, the headline-making and conspiracy theory-generating ball is partContinue Reading
A lot of people wondered what happened to Disappeared on ID. The first six seasons ran from 2009-2013 before the show took a three-year hiatus. Its seventh season debuted three years later on the Investigation Discovery network, and two more seasons ran until 2018. In 2021, the Disappeared podcast premiered,Continue Reading
I don’t know about you, but when I think of Jason Blum, normally horror movie franchises like Paranormal Activity or The Purge come to mind. Or just horror movies, period. He’s certainly produced many. However, the prolific producer has also worked on some non-horror hits too, such as Whiplash andContinue Reading
Every year around this time, publications start releasing their picks for the most haunted of…well, everything, from cities to hotels. While “most haunted lists” are fun to look at —because, let’s face it, we’re hard-wired to rank things these days (thanks, Google)— they have a problem. They’re not actually whatContinue Reading
What happened to Dave Schrader in Ghosts of Devil’s Perch that had his co-stars, Cindy Kaza and K.D. Stafford, calling for an ambulance? Is his new show a continuation of ones like Ghosts of Shepherdstown and Ghosts of Morgan City? What’s it like working with law enforcement to investigate theContinue Reading
Sure. You might find a skeptic here or there among the guest speakers and panelists at some paracons. In general, however, most cons cater to the believers. Not at CSICon. They welcome skeptics and encourage critical thinking, reason, and skepticism. I learned about this exciting con that’s battling the “infodemicContinue Reading
Before author Whitley Strieber’s encounter with the unknown inspired, The Visitors, the latest installment in Travel Channel’s “Shock Docs” series, it inspired one of his best-selling books, Communion (1987). (Which in 1989 was then adapted into a movie of the same name starring Christopher Walken.) It all started with threeContinue Reading
Jekyll Island, Georgia, is one of my favorite places to jaunt to. Well, specifically, I love staying at the historic Jekyll Island Club Resort. That’s why “The Creature from Jekyll Island” immediately caught my eye while I was watching an episode of the HBO Max docuseries The Anarchist. The firstContinue Reading
I don’t remember what sparked the thought now, but the other day I got to wondering about things paranormal enthusiasts should do before they die. I had a few things in mind, but it seemed like a perfect question to pose on Twitter. But would anyone answer? (If you’re onContinue Reading
I was vaguely aware of sex accusations against actor Armie Hammer, but I had no appreciation for how twisted they were until I watched the trailer for House of Hammer. Whoa. Now I see why this is being labeled as a “highly anticipated” docuseries. House of Hammer starts streaming onContinue Reading
