Haunted Courtney

     Over the last several days, I've experienced the same strange thing twice. I was sitting on the couch watching TV when I felt that uncomfortable and alarming feeling you get when someone is walking up behind you. It's especially concerning when the only other person in the house is sitting right next to you. About a fraction of a second later, the lights seemed to dim slightly, and I turned my head to the right to see a shadow moving swiftly behind me. I jolted upright and swiveled my head to the left to see where it had gone, but there was nothing there.  A few days later, it happened again. The same couch. The same show. The same unsettling sensation. The same subtle dimming of the lights, followed by that swift movement behind me. What's going on here? Then I had a thought that changed everything... Was this a shadow person? For those who may not know, shadow people have been described as dark, human-like entities that appear briefly, and often in the corner ...

Does it look a little strange around here?   Don't worry... the ghosts haven't taken over the site... probably. Listen, we can't rule these things out.  I recently (yesterday, I won't lie) bought the domain HauntedCourtney.com. It's been eons in the making, and I'm VERY excited.  After years of writing about haunted places, ghosts, and my theories around ghost hunting, I'm finally giving Haunted Courtney a much-needed makeover. Think Rachael Leigh Cook in "She's All That," without the exceptional red dress and sassy haircut.  I'm fixing broken images, organizing, and literally dragging the old girl into 2026. Stick around to see how it evolves! So, if you're new here- welcome! I promise I usually keep things neater than this. But the posts won't stop just because I'm slapping some paint on the walls. I'll keep posting regularly and working on the site every day.  Courtney  

I don't mean we pop out of the womb with our very own EMF detector and REM pod (as cool as that would be). I mean that we already have everything we need to experience the paranormal. We are born with five incredible tools: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Long before ghost hunting gadgets (and long before Aaron Goodwin was being locked in a basement alone), humans had ways of experiencing the unknown. Maybe our greatest paranormal equipment has been with us all along.  Sight If we block out all the distractions and slow our minds, we may be able to see a world that exists just on the edge of our own. Even now, while TVs are used as background noise, social media videos are blaring, and the world is blurring around us, we sometimes see something just at the corners of our vision. Imagine what we could see if we focused just a little on that.  Today, our attention is constantly pulled in a hundred different directions. Phones buzz with notifications while televisions an...
