The hit television series Ghost Whisperer has caught my attention recently, and if you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely one to check out.  On for five seasons now, it has built up a wide fan base of people at all ages.  Jennifer Love Hewitt plays the main character, Melinda Gordon.  Melinda has a gift she inherited from her grandmother, who also taught Melinda how to use her gift for good.  Both she and her grandmother have the ability to talk and see earthbound spirits, and help them to “crossover” to the other side by going into The Light, a metaphor for Heaven.  The ghosts are often earthbound because they have unfinished business- a common stereotype of the characteristics of ghosts- and Melinda helps them out to finish up whatever it is they need to do.

Her husband Jim Clancy is very supportive of her, and helps her out if every way possible.  Throughout the seasons, new characters come and go, but even if you don’t watch them in order, it should still make plenty of sense.  Along the way, Melinda helps out many different spirits and encourages them to crossover, and she learns more about her family along the way.  Her mother appears in a few episodes, and there are many other back stories that develop as the season progresses.

It’s definitely a show to watch, especially if you are interested in things of this nature.  It’s usually on every night of the week on the ION channel, and the station number varies where you live.  So check it out, or if you already have, then let me know what you think!
