My wife...one of these days.

A few months ago we purchased a farm house to remodel. I've done a lil work, but found a small house for sell near it that I want to buy and move in, so I can be close to it, instead of all the driving. I can get it cheap and put little money into it and told her we could rent it later or sell it. The house is owned by a old widow lady that is ready to dump it, for sale by owner. I offered her a low ball figure, not expecting her to say yes.....she did.

The issue. This house was the home of a beloved member of this small community that ran a flower and gift shop for years. My wife was good friends with her. Sadly, two bums decided they needed money and robbed the lady, then kidnapped her, took her to the woods, tied her up and shot her to death back in the 90's.

My wife said she wouldn't feel comfortable living there, but she went and looked with me and agreed it was a great price for a fixer upper and would be perfect for our situation for the short term.

The old lady showing it made a mistake, but just being old honest, said she didn't think the house was haunted as people said. Anyway, we liked it, told her we would decide this weekend.

We got home, my wife got on the internet searching and that day in our news was a article on one of the ladies murderers being denied early parole. For some reason that gave my wife bad vibes. I told her it was a good sign and she was being silly. I told her the lady that was killed would be honored to have her living in the house. I don't believe in ghost, nor does my wife really, but I explained that if she was ghosting around, it would be fine with me and I'm sure she would look over us. Understand, I'm just trying to deal with silliness, so I'll say anything.

I don't believe in bad vibes for no logical reason, hate to pass on a wonderful deal. This morning my wife said she didn't want to move there. I told her I was going to buy it. The problem is if we move in, I know it will make her uncomfortable, but she is being irrational. I know if that old lady selling it offers the same selling number to someone else, the house will be gone.
