    Wow! What a great episode of Ghost Whisperer. I love how Melinda helps ghost pass over to the other side, but what about that creepy ghost that turned up at the end of the episode. I think that is a devil's ghost and this story line will be the season fianle of the season. What a great show.

    I'm watching Ghost Whisperer ever since it aired and the first couple of episodes where really good, then it started to be a little of the same up to the point I was considering not to watch it anymore.

    With the laughing man they did put a beginning to what will be an arc I hope because I really like things that take longer then one episode, so I was sattisfied with the man in the attic the last few seconds.

    But to go back to this episode and what I think of it.

    It was a good episode, a little bit different from what where used to although the end is always the same. The Ghosts are getting stronger wich I think is great.

    The things I didn't like whas as I said the familiar ending, everything is right after they spoke to the ghost for a few minutes.

    Well I haven't have anything else to say about this episode I just hope that the next one won't be to much of the same.moreless

    Wow. This episode made me jump. The ghost of Lyle Chase looking for the truth about his granddaughter. Even going as far as trying to kill Melinda's paranoid reclusive next door neighbor was really creepy. It also shows how Melinda is not the kind of person to just fall down to an offensive force and be walked all over. Even if Jim wanted her to leave it be, she would rather help. I was really proud of her for not backing down even when things get hard and scary. Our heroine is a real stand-up, strong-willed girl. It maybe a little frivolous to say this but this episode sure was exciting and of course, lets not forget touching.

    Lyle found out about his granddaughter (who was still alive) and apologised for sending her to a place that treated her so badly. He never knew that she was abused and when he saw her the way she was now he said, "I'm so proud to have a strong and beautiful granddaughter." So many tears. It was a lovely episode. And I loved Homer the ghost dog.moreless

    You know the times when you get a new mysterious neighbor? Well for Melinda and Jim, in this episode, it becomes a reality.

    Melinda gets a new mysterious neighbor and has a creepy ghost following him around. She hopes to help her neighbor, but her neighbor ends up looking strangely at her because of her suspiciousness. The ghost is convinced that her new neighbor is a murderer, but the story is actually more complex than the ghost could imagine. They find out at the end that the granddaughter of the ghost is still actually alive, and emotions come out. This is one of my favorite episodes because it is both unique and fun to watch.moreless

    I'd have to say that this was a good episode. I expecially enjoyed seeing Homer! When the ghost moved in next door I didn't know what to think, I wasn't sure if he was going to be good or bad. He was bad then turned good at the end, they do that a lot. This ghost was defanitely one of the strongest considering he knocked down a latter and cut Melinda with a chain saw. Over all I thought it was a good episode with a good basic story line and to tell you the truth I have watched it many times since I bought the season 1 dvd. Homer!moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • This is the first time that we have seen Melinda and Jim argue. Although they have forgiven each other by the end of the episode. Edit
    • The Dark Ghost makes an appearance in a window of Todd's rental house at the tail-end of the episode. Melinda is visibly frightened by the sight, perhaps because she has just seen a ghost who can cause actual physical harm in the land of the living. No further clues about who the Dark Ghost is or what he or the Laughing Ghost want with Melinda were revealed. Edit
    • The dog Homer from "Lost Boys" returns for a second but this time Jim allows her to keep it. Edit

    • Lyle Chase: (about a locket he gave is granddaughter) They buried me with it, they should have buried her with it but they never found her body. Edit
    • Lyle Chase: The cops knew who killed her. Melinda: Why isn't he in jail? Lyle Chase: In, jail, they never even made an arrest. No body, no evidence, they could never put a case together. But my heart was broken, I should have killed him while I was still alive. But I promise you, I promise you I will find the strength to make him pay. Melinda: Wait... Edit
    • Melinda: I know what I'm dealing with here. You're overreacting. Jim: And you're under reacting. People are getting hurt. Melinda: I know and that's not gonna stop unless I do something. Jim: No, not if it means you're gonna go up close and personal with Todd, the ripper. I'm sorry Mel, I can't let you do this. Melinda: Can't let me? Jim: Now, come on... You know what I mean. Melinda: I know what you mean. Jim: It's just too dangerous. Melinda.... Melinda: Ya, I heard you the first time. I'm gonna go to bed now. If you'll let me, that is. Jim: No, now don't go making me the bad guy just because I care about you. Melinda: And don't get all noble. There's a difference between caring and controlling. Edit
