I have recently rediscovered my love for “ghost whisperer” this series premiered on May 21st 2010. It follows Melinda Gordon a median as she helps ghosts finish their tasks here on Earth so they can cross over to the light.
In the first episode, you get a look into her past. You find out that her grandmother also had the same gift and she showed Melinda how to help the ghost.
Your first thought must might be how cool would that be to be able to talk to ghosts but you get an inside look on how it affects not just her but the people around her. You see her struggle to tell people about her gift and how it puts a lot of strain on her relationships.
Each ghost finds Melinda a different way. Most of them outside of her own home but some go straight into her home to ask for help. It’s interesting to see her talk to the families and tell them what the ghost wants her to say. But it also brings up a lot of negative emotions for the family who thinks that she’s playing a trick on them.
I give this series overall a score of four out of five on the scary aspect though I give it one out of five. Though it does talk about ghosts it’s not really a spooky series. It doesn’t bring the ghosts out in a scary light It really is more about the story than this spooky.
I really love the series. I began watching it knowing that it wasn’t going to be scary. Only every once in awhile do they kind of have a jumpscare but nothing to over the top.
I would recommend this series to anyone who likes the topics of ghosts but doesn’t like the scary aspect that comes with the topic or anyone who’s interested in the paranormal.
