They Believed in Fortune Tellers

Boredom Files

Another strange practice that some people still believe in until today was the use of fortune tellers. Aside from guns, alcohol and prostitutes, the Wild West had a penchant for fortune stories. Otherwise known as “gypsies,” these professionals could supposedly read the palms of hands, see people’s futures in their crystal balls, and read Tarot cards, ironically, making a fortune as they did it. Most people truly believed in their clairvoyant capabilities, and until today, there are still loads of people that practice these dark arts.
