Premise

Ghost Whisperer is a series that follows the life of Melinda Gordon, a young woman from the fictional town of Grandview who has the ability to see and communicate with the dead. Melinda lives with her husband Jim, and is the owner of an antique shop. Ghosts seek Melinda's help in relaying a message or completing a task that will put the spirit to rest, and allow them to cross over into The Light, a metaphor presented by the show as its concept of the equivalent of Heaven. There is an interesting parallel here to Buddhism and the concept of karma, where those who died after their lives - in which they accumulated more sin than merit - led to an afterlife of restlessness. To seek redress, these spirits appear through an intermediary Melinda Gordon and she works with them to create a more favorable spiritual balance with those still living. Once the imbalance between merit and sin has been restored to a favorable plane, the spirits can then proceed to what is indeed their final resting place.
