Ghost Whisperer is an American supernatural television series, which ran on CBS from September 23, 2005, to May 21, 2010.
The series follows the life of Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who has the ability to see and communicate with [[Ghost}ghost]]s. While trying to live as normal a life as possible—she is married and owns an antique store—Melinda helps earthbound spirits resolve their problems and cross over into the light, or the spirit world. Her tasks are difficult and at times she struggles with people who push her away and do not believe in her gift. In addition, the ghosts are mysterious and sometimes menacing at first, and Melinda must use the clues available to her to understand the spirits' needs and help them. The show was created by John Gray and was produced by Sander/Moses Productions, executive producer, and Jennifer Love Hewitt in association with ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios.
On May 18, 2010, CBS canceled the show after five seasons.

Background
The film belongs to a series of films that present metaphysical or even spiritual experiences such as near-death experiences, after-death contacts, media experiences no longer as fairy-tale fantasy, but as reality. The subject matter also includes films such as Hereafter by Clint Eastwood (2010), The House of the Spirits (1993), Ghost (1990).
There are media who claim, similar to the main character of the series, to have contacts to deceased people like Tyler Henry, Pascal Voggenhuber and many more.
