Ep 12. This Joint's Haunted

Melinda Gordon, the titular ghost whisperer, is back with another supernatural mystery to solve in season 4 episode 12 of the show. In "This Joint's Haunted," Melinda finds herself in the middle of a tense situation when a local bar becomes the site of a series of ghostly sightings.

The episode opens with Melinda meeting with the owner of the bar, who has become increasingly concerned about the strange occurrences taking place within his establishment. Glasses and bottles have been moving on their own, doors have been opening and closing inexplicably, and a growing number of patrons have reported seeing ghostly apparitions wandering the premises.

At first, Melinda assumes that the ghosts may be the remnants of former regulars who have passed away and have returned to haunt the bar. However, as she begins to delve deeper into the situation, she realizes that the source of the spirits may be something far more sinister.

With the help of her husband Jim and friend Delia, Melinda starts to investigate the history of the bar and learns that it was once a speakeasy during Prohibition. During that time, the owner of the bar was involved in a number of illegal activities, including bootlegging and gambling. In fact, it turns out that the bar was the site of a brutal murder that took place during a high-stakes card game.

As Melinda delves further into the history of the speakeasy, she begins to uncover a web of deceit, betrayal, and greed that ultimately led to the murder. The ghosts haunting the bar are the result of those misdeeds, trapped in a never-ending cycle of pain and suffering.

As Melinda tries to help the spirits cross over, she finds herself up against a group of malicious entities who do not want to let go of their hold on the bar. With the help of her psychic powers and a few well-timed interventions from Jim and Delia, Melinda is eventually able to break the cycle of violence and help the ghosts find peace.

"This Joint's Haunted" is a tense and atmospheric episode that showcases the best of Ghost Whisperer's storytelling and character development.
