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 a Secrets of Sulphur Springs update for you. In case you’ve been waiting for it to start streaming and sort of forgot about it. (Like I did because I figured we’d have to wait months for it to start streaming.) The live-action time-travel paranormal mystery series originally premieredContinue Reading
Portals to Hell season 2 premieres on March 20 when new episodes begin streaming on discovery+. Among them are “Hotel Monte Vista” and “McCormick Farm,” which is a special two-hour episode. I had a chance to screen both episodes ahead of the release date, but I only had time toContinue Reading
Have you heard of the Medical Medium, Anthony William? He’s sort of our time’s answer to Edgar Cayce, who some consider the “father of holistic medicine.” I’m not really sure when I first learned about the American clairvoyant and mystic who was also called the Sleeping Prophet because of theContinue Reading
Besides green beer, shamrocks, and pots of gold, leprechauns are also prevalently represented on St. Patrick’s Day. So you might think, and rightfully so, that Leprechaun Day would fall on March 17. Because, yep. There is such a day to revere the wee little green guys. However, if you goContinue Reading
Recently an article on TripSided caught my eye. It was about how Amazon is venturing into the travel business. Sort of. They’re currently Beta testing a new hub called Amazon Explore. It offers a variety of private virtual experiences from around the world that “lets you learn and discover differentContinue Reading
Are you a fan of Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House? If so, The Inheritance trailer may be worth your peepers. ComicBookMovie.com described the forthcoming horror movie as “channeling” Hill House, so of course I had to check it out. However, before we get to the trailer, let’s first establishContinue Reading
There’s a lot happening in the discovery+ Paranormal & Unexplained hub March 15-28. New episodes return for both Portals to Hell and Ghost Adventures.

At the beginning of this year, I wrote a Haunted Walk update after talking with HW’s creative director, Jim Dean, for the podcast. One of the things that came up was up their Virtual Haunted Campfires for 2021. Jim hosts them but he turns it over to special guests fromContinue Reading
The Chicago Tribune recently reported that the Old Joliet Prison Historic Site in Joliet, Illinois, is reopening for tours. Starting this month, March, and running through October, visitors can choose from self-guided tours or group ones. In 2020, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the prison found itself adapting to theContinue Reading
The other day I saw a story on Looper about an “intense paranormal horror you can stream on Amazon.” That’s how I learned about a 2018 movie called Followed. That’s also how I learned there’s a new sub-genre of “found footage” films called “desktop films” or “Screen Life.” The firstContinue Reading
Do you remember the story about the Oklahoma state representative who introduced a Bigfoot hunting season bill at the beginning of this year? Today I saw a follow-up to the story from Coast to Coast AM. The Oklahoma Bigfoot hunting season story has progressed from cray to cray cray. Let’sContinue Reading
Last month, shortly after I published, “A Mermaid in Nashville: Does She Live in Percy Priest Lake?,” I received an email from William Uchtman about the Nashville mermaid sighting. William sometimes contributes content to Haunt Jaunts. He’s a fellow Middle Tennessean who I’ve known pretty much since I started HJContinue Reading
