Ghost Whisperer

My mom says nobody lived here since old man richmond moved out.

Betcha it's not really haunted.

Go inside and find out.

You go.

You go!

I'll go.

What's the matter? Chicken?

Am not.

Come with me.

Melinda,what are you doing here?

You know,it's late.

You three should be in bed.

We're looking for ghosts.

I can't see them anymore.

sometimes that happens.

You grow out of it.

Can you?

nope.i don't see any.

You can't see ghosts.

You hear them or feel them.

Right.

I did not know that.

what's that?

Is something in there?

Good boy,homer.

The kids would have been disappointed without a good scare.

Go get it!

I don't get it.

Why does a ghost dog need to go for a walk?

If i could answer that, i could cross him over.

Poor homer.

He's probably just waiting for the ghost kids from the orphanage

to come back and get him.

thanks.

As if i don't feel bad enough that he got left behind.

Here's what i think.

If we take the ball and we throw it far enough,

he will keep going until he goes into the light, right?

What was that?

The kids.

what are you doing?

Hang on a second.

That is private property,right?

mine. I just rented the place.

Don't you have keys?

Lost 'em.

I'm sorry about the noise.

I tried every door,but...

todd darja.

Jim clancy.

This is my wife melinda.

Nice to meet you guys.

So you're moving in now?

I've been real busy

and i don't have much stuff,so...

you need a hand?

No. no.

No.

Ok,then.

If you need anything,

we're right across the street.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

You lose your keys, you call a locksmith.

And who moves in in the middle of the night?

Probably somebody who had to move out of their last place in the mile of the night.

I don't know.

I think that guy was weird.

Maybe it'll be a short-term rental.

I kind of miss cranky old mr. Richmond.

Maybe he'll come out of retirement and move back.

What?

Homer.

He's growling.

He can't bite me, can he?

Something scared him.

a ghost dog catcher?

Todd's not the only one moving in at night.

Anything?

No. Just todd.

maybe he likes to sleep in?

Very funny.

It's also an angry ghost.

How can you tell?

I can feel it

and see it in the way he moved.

great.

For our new neighbors,

we have the cast of in cold blood.

I should go talk to todd.

Make sure he understands what's going on.

You know,i wouldn't.

Why not?

You never know how people are gonna react

when you tell them what you do.

I always seem to handle it.

because most of the time you can walk away, right?

And so can the people you help.

But,i mean,this guy lives right across the street.

What if he's got a big mouth,you know?

And starts telling everybody.

You're gonna have to see him every day.

You can't avoid him.

Maybe you're right.

It's rare,but it happens.

I am going to have to have a word with the departed,though.

Morning,neighbor.

I hope i didn't wake you.

I don't sleep much.

What do you want?

I just wanted to make sure we didn't get off on the wrong foot last night

and thought maybe you'd like a home-cooked breakfast.

Thanks.

look, i'd invite you in,but...

that's so nice,

but i can only stay for a minute.

i have always wanted to see the inside of this place ever since we moved here.

Not much to see.

You travel light?

Move around a lot.

Really?

Where are you from?

Look,...

those are gorgeous fixtures.

Really....

original?

Sure,i guess.

Am i keeping you from work?

I got to buy some things for the house.

What do you do for a living?

Internet.

Website designer.

Listen,

melinda...

i appreciate the breakfast.

I do,but...

i like my privacy.

You understand?

You see me?

Stay away.

What?

Sorry.

Sorry,i was,...

great moldings on that door.

Look...

i really appreciate the breakfast,but...

seriously, i gotta get going.

I understand. Sorry.

I own an antique store...

most earthbound spirits are excited to know

there's someone there they can talk to and that can see them.

Not this guy.

Maybe this one wants to be left alone.

no.

This ghost is on a mission.

He walks with purpose.

He's evasive,

like he's up to something.

there he is.

He who?

Todd or the ghost?

Both.

Ok,what are you doing?

I'm gonna follow them.

Melinda,stop.

Don't get involved in this.

I'm already involved in this.

There's a ghost living across the street.

You can pretend he's not there.

I can't.

Then i'm going with you.

No,you have work to do, and so do i.

Ok?

I'm gonna try and get the ghost alone

and see if i can't help him move on.

Watch out.

Are you all right?

Why are you following me?

I'm not.

I wasn't.

Never met a ghost who's so proactive before.

Melinda,this one hurt you.

It wasn't like that.

He definitely wants to hurt todd,though.

Like "dead" hurt.

How is that even possible?

I thought spirits couldn't touch anything real,

like a living person.

It's always been that way with earthbounds.

Usually,they move things.

It's like they're learning how to interact more,

make a bigger impact on this world.

Speaking of crossing over,

i have been doing some research into man's best friend.

This guy is the best dog trainer in the world,

and he says that all dogs have issues.

What kind of issues could homer have that would keep him here?

Tons.

Phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Or he's just a dog who doesn't know he's supposed to walk into the light.

Maybe he thinks the light is a car coming at him.
