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.

Do you like survival thrillers? Did you ever see a movie called Black Water about a crocodile that terrorized a trio on a boat tour in a mangrove swamp in Australia? It was released in 2008, and while it wasn’t great, it wasn’t too bad either. Well, it took aContinue Reading
