  1. As I was typing out the title to this post it hit me how ridiculous it sounds but this is real and I'm at a loss and I don't know what to do.
  2.  
  3. About a month ago me and my wife were out on a date. We had dinner and finished a few bottles of wine so we were walking home. We passed this neon sign for a fortune teller or tarot card readings or something like that. We were both pretty drunk and decided going in would be kind of fun.

  5. I have never went to a fortune teller before this and don't believe in that stuff (no offense to anyone who does) but I like horror stuff and Halloween so I just thought it would be something fun.

  7. Anyways we get there and the lady asked a couple of questions (mostly directed at my wife) then she started asking me some stuff - it was the usual leading questions I guess. I was having fun. It was sort of like seeing a magic show. You know it's fake but that doesn't mean you don't enjoy it.

  9. Suddenly she freezes and tells me I have a dark spirit attached to me or something like that. I kind of laughed awkwardly just not really knowing what to say but she played it totally serious and didn't let up.

  11. I thought the whole thing was fun in a macabre way and thought my wife did too but apparently she took it a little more serious than me. She started talking about how we lose things in the house only to find them days later in one of the spots we looked. That does happen but I figure we just missed it the first time or one of us moved it without realizing. She kept giving silly examples like that and at first I thought she was just kidding around but she kept bringing things like that up and I was starting to get worried.

  13. Now last night we were watching a movie and a picture frame fell off the wall and made us jump. It scared me but I laughed once it realized it was nothing. My wife freaked out and started saying the house is haunted, the fortune teller is right, ect. Then she was getting mad at me for not saying anything. I think I was just in disbelief. How does an adult believe in ghosts still? I started saying there were reasonable explanations for all her "evidence" but that just made her more angry. She stormed off and I finished the movie figuring she needed time to cool down.

  15. This morning she started saying she wants to sell the house and move. I really like our house and don't want to move. Especially for a stupid reason. The housing market here (Canada) is also fucked so we could sell our house easy but would go into a lot more debt moving anywhere. She got so angry when I said I don't want to move. We never really had any fights like this before so I ended up storming off. Now she told our kids (5f , and 8m) that there's a ghost in the house. They're freaked out and are scared to stay here and go to sleep.

  17. I feel like I'm some horror movie dad cliche- but there's definitely no ghosts here and I don't know what I should do
