Ghost Whisperer Theme
By Mark Snow

User Reviews

Jessica Love Hewitt has to help surviving twin cope with mean twin sister...

The twin sister theme gets another workout here, with a twist. One of the twins is dead, drowned in a swimming accident. She's haunting her sister in mean-spirited, spiteful ways which gives JESSICA COLLINS a good chance to do some emoting as the troubled twins.

JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT is the psychic who can see dead people and help them resolve their problems with the living. David CONRAD is the faithful hubby who realizes his wife has a special gift which she uses to help people.

It's one of the better episodes in this series, which manages to come up with new plots despite using the same theme over and over again--namely, that Jessica helps whomever she can with her problem solving nature. Well acted and really does give the illusion that there are two real-life twins playing the central roles.
