About Me

Hello, I'm Kaci.

I would describe myself as crafty, outgoing, and creative.

I love true crime and the supernatural.

I am currently reading: I Am A Killer, What Makes A Murderer by Danny Tipping & Ned Parker. I just finished We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson. (5/5/2025) It was good and a quick read.

I enjoy the following podcasts:

  • Favorite is Crime Junkie!!!! Followed by My Favorite Murder, Dateline, Criminal, Anatomy of Murder, Park Predators and newest I found called The Jefferson Fisher Podcast.

My husband and I have two cats we saved from the local Animal Control. Bella on 30 January, 2015. She is a Tortie! Daisy we saved on 21 July, 2022. She is a grey/white Tabby.


I'm from WA State. My favorite flower is the Tulip.

My favorite holiday is HALLOWEEN.â˜ș (I like Halloween items sent anytime.)

I want to be a ghost hunter and have been to many haunted places. Some include:

Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana 2 times, Jefferson Hotel, Jefferson, TX, a night in Thetford Forest in England, Santa Fe Penitentiary, Old Town Albuquerque, NM, St. James Hotel in Cimarron, NM, Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO, Gettysburg, PA and Omni Park House Hotel in Boston, MA.

I have also participated in ghost tours in Scotland, England, Virginia and Boston. I have visited Zak Bagans Haunted Museum in Vegas.

I enjoy walking through cemeteries and taking photos.

Comment: Thank-you for the lovely postalette and vintage pics. I love that can just see the corner of the shadow of the person taking the one of the house, and that their little dogs are in the photo. A little snap of history ♄ I went thrifting yesterday to find a vase and came out with a few extra “have to have this” items lol. I love finding stationary but this trip was a bust on that front. Currently re-reading the Thursday Murder Club series, re-reading is one of the things I do when I need a break from thinking, and that is always easier if I already know how the story ends:) I hope you are having a lovely weekend and things continue to go well for you!!
Response: You’re welcome. I am glad you like the vintage photos. I think they are always fun to find. I have a Thursday Murder Club book on my shelf that I haven’t read yet. Now I will bump it up closer to my next read, lol. Thanks for telling me. Thank you.
