I recently signed on with Examiner.com to be a Nashville Getaways Examiner, but was excited to find several Haunted Places Examiners for me to follow in the process.
WHAT’S EXAMINER.COM?
It’s a newer site dedicated to promoting cities by providing writers a platform to share their expertise or passion about where they live on all manner of subjects. Their catch phrase is: Examiners are credible, passionate, knowledgeable writers.
They have Examiners for everything ranging from Arts & Entertainment Examiners to Careers & Workplace, Bars & Restaurants, Pets, Politics, and Relationship Examiners. (It was actually because a Google alert let me know Seattle Marriage Advice Examiner Becca Campbell referenced one of my old Families.com articles that I became familiar with them.)
And I’m glad I did. Not only because they’re allowing me to write about Nashville Getaways, but now I’ve found other people (Examiners) interested in the same thing as me! Haunted Places!
HAUNTED PLACES AND HAUNTED SITES EXAMINERS SO FAR
Examiner.com hires more and more writers every day so I’m sure this list will be expanding, but here’s the links to two of the Haunted Places and Haunted Sites Examiners already on board.
- Debe Branning, Arizona Haunted Sites Examiner
- Vince Wilson, Baltimore Haunted Places Examiner
“WHY AREN’T YOU A HAUNTED PLACES EXAMINER, COURTNEY?”
Excellent question! They asked if I wanted to be a Nashville Haunted Travel Examiner, were willing to work with me on that, but I declined. I wanted to broaden my horizons to Getaways because Wayne and I will inevitably be getting out and about more again now that I’m getting better and closer to being done with my cancer treatments. That way I can write about our Haunt Jaunts here, while also tweaking them for the Getaways blog too.
Also, I didn’t want to taint Haunt Jaunts the blog. Since I do use it as my travel blog also, albeit for more than just Nashville, I wanted to keep it sort of its own thing.
However, I’m looking forward to becoming more acquainted with the Haunted Places and Haunted Sites Examiners!

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.

Good idea! But the thought of being an “Examiner” is a cool one. 🙂
