Mumbai…August 24, 2006… Is your house haunted? What if
you had the supernatural power to talk to the dead? If you are curious
about the living, the lost and the dead, Star World has a show just
for you! Tune in to this supernatural thriller starring the supernaturally
sexy Jennifer Love Hewitt, who returns to the small screen after
a whole decade. "Ghost Whisperer" debuts this Tuesday,
August 29th at 10 p.m. only on Star World.
Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is a young newlywed with
the unique ability to communicate with the earthbound spirits of
people who have died, and who seek her help. Melinda uses her gift
to relay significant messages and important information to the living,
but sometimes the messages she receives are intense and confusing.
As a result, she is often faced with questions and skepticism by
the survivors. But when Melinda is able to help both the lost souls
who contact her and those who are still alive, she knows that her
unique talent is an asset and not a liability. Melinda Gordon helps
those who have passed away find eternal peace by helping them to
come to terms with their unresolved issues.
Tune in to the pilot episode, this Tuesday night, in which Melinda
is contacted by the spirit of a soldier who says he is lost. Melinda
thinks he may not realize that he is dead so she does some research
and discovers that he was classified MIA in 1972. However, when
she contacts the soldier's son about this father, he thinks Melinda
is trying to scam him and now Melinda must find a way to help both
father and son find closure.
The show is created by John Gray and stars Jennifer Love Hewitt,
Aisha Tyler, and David Conrad. The series is based on the work of
James Van Praagh, who is a co-executive producer and is a world-renowned
psychic medium. The stories are also said to be based in part on
the work of Spirit Communicator Mary Ann Wintkowski.
