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: Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe. I just finished four books while on vacation. They are: The Orphanage By The Lake by Daniel G. Miller-outstanding, The Woman In The Cabin by Becca Day-outstanding, Death Row by Freida McFadden-good, and The Fuck It List by Julie Halpern-really good.

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 three 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. Bad Bad Leroy Brown whom I actually found on the street the last week of May 2025. He is about 11 weeks and an orange Tabby.


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

My favorite holiday is HALLOWEEN.☺️ (I like Halloween items sent anytime.)

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