Storyline

Since she was a girl, Rebecca has been able to see the dead. Her own great-grandfather, who died when she was six months old, was her best friend when she was five. But Rebecca's gift frightened her father, who angrily demanded that she stop talking to people no one else can see. Rebecca blocked out the spirit world for the rest of her childhood and early adulthood, all through her first marriage. Now, as a mother with two children, who is happily married to her second husband, there is no reason for her to revisit a long-closed chapter of her life. Unfortunately, the spirit world breaks through into her consciousness again. Now she sees the ghosts of a young boy, a pilot and a female slave-owner from the 18th century. It's up to two paranormal investigators to help prove to her that she isn't crazy.

Not one of the better episodes in this series...

THE CALLING just seems to follow the routine of most of these stories, whereby a couple is determined to buy a new place to live and the woman begins to feel the strange atmosphere closing in on her.

The story starts when the woman is a young girl and apparently has the ability to see and converse with the dead, something her father tries to stop when he becomes aware of this ability. He doesn't believe her. At this point in the story, she occasionally chats with her dead grandfather.

The years pass and as an adult the woman still has this "gift," which causes a divorce. When she remarries, she holds the truth from her new husband as strange things begin happening again in the new house. She awakes one morning with bite marks on her leg which she and her husband perceive as coming from a young child.

Eventually, things get so out of hand that by the end of the tale they're moving out and leaving the spirits behind.
