Carnival setting, but no X-FILES

Oddly enough, this rather colorful episode made little impression on me. And I am not sure why. The spirit of a murdered man seeks revenge on the man he believes killed him. All of this is set on the ground of an old-fashioned carnival, and includes a card reader whom Melinda befriends and who is caught up in the middle of the proceedings. I guess I thought the carnival setting might give us something akin to the old X-FILES episode where Mulder encounters a naked, tattooed guy who chomps down huge globs of live fish. GW is, alas, no match for THE X-FILES. The worst that happens here, as I recall, involves shaking up the card reader's wagon a bit. Oh well, you can't win them all.
