Ghostbuster Ian Lawman spends so much time chasing spooks his wife has dubbed him a phantom menace - and spirited herself away.
Now Ian Lawman is like a lost soul, asking in vain "Is anybody there" when he goes through the front door every night.
Deborah gave her tarot-reading psychic sidekick an ultimatum - the ghosts or me.
Ian, 30, chose the spirit world and, after five years of marriage, had to move out of the home in Scunthorpe he shared with Deborah, 29, and their 19-month-old daughter Annabel. Henow lives alone in Ipswich, Suffolk.
Ian, who does exorcisms, seances, and fortune-telling, said: "It was a very tough decision but I have been given a special gift to help people and I just cannot ignore it. Ghosts do not work nine to five and I am away a lot.
"I have asked the spirits for guidance on my marriage but they told me I can't turn my back on them."
Ex-dancer Deborah said: "There is only room for two of us in this marriage. It is impossible to live like this with spooks around every corner."
