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.

As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

In “April, Saturn, & Mercury Retrograde: Something Wicked This Way Comes,” I shared a theory that April is a cursed month. People with birthdays, anniversaries, or other happy April dates didn’t take kindly to the supposition. Understandably. But what they didn’t understand at first was the theory doesn’t speculate thatContinue Reading
Two things immediately caught my eye about The Banishing, which begins streaming on Shudder on April 15. One, Jessica Brown Findlay, who played one of my favorite Downton Abbey characters, stars in it. Two, its description claimed it’s “the true story of the most haunted house in England.” Oh really?Continue Reading
