Ghost Whisperer Show Review

Ghost Whisperer aired from 2005–2010 with a total of five seasons. I would have been between the ages of six and eleven. My sister and I would come home from school and finish watching the last ten minutes of The Young and The Restless with my Mom and then change the channel at 4pm to watch Ghost Whisperer.

I decided to re-watch the show solely for nostalgic purposes. It was one of my favourite show’s when I was a kid, and now, as an adult, it still is.

Show Summary

“A young woman, caught between the dead and the living, helps the dead resolve unfinished business with the living,” (IMDB).

Melinda Gordon

Since I was young I have adored this character and its actress: Jennifer Love Hewitt. I even named by first Build-A-Bear Melinda.

The interesting thing about watching this show again, however, is that I now have the lens of my autism. I think I resonated so much with Melinda’s character because she was different, different in a way she couldn’t change. People would often call her crazy and she faced a lot of ridicule from those that initially didn’t believe she saw ghosts. Now, I couldn’t put it into words back then, but I knew I was different too.
