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.
Themed cocktails. Macabre magic. Sinister séances. Tarot readings. Strange roaming specters. Live music. Hidden secret games. Giant Ouija boards. Plus more. Such as, it all takes place in a haunted mansion. Sound like an evening you’d like to attend? Let’s take a look at the three cities where you canContinue Reading
I was not on my game the day I interviewed Katherine Fisher and R. H. Stavis, the directors of Posies. Which is why it didn’t occur to me at the time to ask if Posies was filmed in a haunted place. Like I explained when I shared their interview, IContinue Reading
In a previous post, I examined whether or not one of the houses in American Horror Story: Double Feature was really haunted. At the end of it, I teased about how the new season of AHS has a haunting cold case connection with an iconic horror movie. I promised toContinue Reading
If you’ve started watching American Horror Story 10: Double Feature, you know this season is broken into two parts: Part 1 “Red Tide” and Part 2 “Death Valley.” The first thing the setting of “Red Tide” had me wondering was if the vacation house the Gardeners (Finn Wittrock andContinue Reading
Ever since I can remember, mysteries, true crime, and the law, in general, have fascinated me. When I was in high school, I even intended to go to college and become a lawyer. Junior year of high school I was nominated by a teacher to participate in a sort ofContinue Reading
Over the moon excited. That’s how I felt when I first learned about the Haunted History Trail of New York State back in 2014. They continue to set the bar for how visitor and convention bureaus can cater to paranormal tourism and tourists seeking out haunted places. Like this year.Continue Reading
Aileen Wuornos is easily one of the most notorious female serial killers in American history. Curiously, she hasn’t inspired many films. One of the most well-known was Monster, thanks in large part to Charlize Theron’s incredible performance, which nabbed her many awards including an Oscar and Golden Globe. Now Peyton ListContinue Reading
In real life, Harold Ramis, the man who played Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters movies, died in 2014. Fittingly, even though he can’t physically be part of the much-anticipated third movie in the franchise, his spirit will still very much be a part of Ghostbusters: Afterlife. In fact, theContinue Reading
These programming highlights for discovery+ and Travel Channel prove Spooky Season is drawing nearer. This list of specials and shows is longer than it’s been in a while. So what can we expect to see? There are two new specials, Shock Docs: The Curse of Lizzie Borden and Alien Encounters Declassified,Continue Reading
In 2006 a low-budget horror movie called The Curse of Lizzie Borden was released. Even though it was awful, it was followed up two years later with a sequel, The Curse of Lizzie Borden 2: Prom Night. Because, naturally, a prom-themed horror movie was the only thing that could follow,Continue Reading
Where did the term “little green men” come from? As far as relating to UFOs and aliens, that is. That’s also sometimes how gremlins are described. Have you ever wondered? Or did you just think, like I did, that it must have some Roswell connection? It does, of course, haveContinue Reading
The drama series One Tree Hill sometimes included plotlines that touched on true crime (ie. attempted murders, stalkers, and hostage situations). However, one of its leads, Chad Michael Murray, pretty much stuck to playing the “good son” Lucas Scott. He then went on to other roles, including Edgar Evernever, theContinue Reading
