"Ghost Whisperer" is now in its third season as the #1 Friday night drama on CBS. The successful show stars Jennifer Love Hewitt as Melinda Gordon, a woman who has a unique ability to communicate with the earthbound spirits of people who have died and who seek her help. Melinda has had the gift since childhood and uses it to help restless spirits who cling to the living because they have unfinished business that prevents them from moving beyond the familiar plane of existence to the other side.

Inspired in part by the work of famed medium James Van Praagh and of Mary Ann Winkowski, a real-life communicator with spirits, "Ghost Whisperer" explores the spiritual side of life and death as Melinda navigates among the dead and the living. Her experiences are sometimes chilling, sometimes heart-rending and sometimes amusing as she attempts to act as an intermediary between the ghosts and those they haunt.

Jim (David Conrad), her husband, worries about the emotional toll this work is taking on his wife as they embark on a new life together. Melinda recently has revealed her gift to her new friend, Delia Banks (Camryn Manheim), a single mom who works in Melinda's antique shop.

Melinda also shared her secret with quirky Professor Rick Payne (Jay Mohr), an expert in occult beliefs and history who thrives on helping her gain insights into the more baffling paranormal phenomena she encounters.

For her part, Melinda accepts her unique abilities as a blessing and sometime curse, but always helps her clients, alive or dead, find emotional closure.

Ghost Whisperer is broadcast Fridays (8:00-9:00 PM - ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
