Courtney discusses her haunted object collection, including bricks from Bobby Mackey's Homestead and a nail from the Winchester Mystery House, and shares how she finds dimes as signs from her grandparents. She launched The Ghoul Guide in October 2020, coining the term 'haunted travel blogger' and building a community around local lore. Her personal ghost encounters include a disembodied voice at Madison Seminary and a hostile spirit named Norman Baker that caused her physical pain. She also reflects on the challenges of content creation, including dealing with negative comments and the pressure of numbers, but emphasizes the importance of remembering one's 'why'. Courtney recounts leaving a high-paying federal court job that was causing severe stress, after a doctor told her the job was killing her, to care for her epileptic husband and pursue her paranormal interests full-time.
