The fifth and final season of Ghost Whisperer, an American television series created by John Gray, commenced airing in the United States on September 25, 2009, concluded May 21, 2010, and consisted of 22 episodes.

The series follows the life of Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts.

At the end of the series, Melinda and Jim try to protect Aiden by convincing him that ghosts don't exist (at the advice of Carl the Watcher, later revealed to be under the influence of the Shadows).

Ghost Whisperer is based on the work of "Spirit Communicator" James Van Praagh,[3] who is co-executive producer[4] and regularly updates a blog about the show through LivingTV.

[8] One area on the lot is Courthouse Square from the Back to the Future trilogy, though it has been drastically modified to depict Grandview.

On May 5, 2008, it was announced that the first three seasons of Ghost Whisperer were purchased for $169.8 million ($700,000 per episode, per network) for syndication by SyFy, ION Television, and WE TV.

[14] On May 18, 2010, citing rising costs and a decline in viewership, CBS announced that Ghost Whisperer would not be renewed for another season.

[17][18] It was revealed on May 19, that writers of the show were informed to not look for other jobs yet, and the producers were very optimistic that there was a good chance of Ghost Whisperer being renewed by ABC.

[21] Delia realises that a family who moved in recently haven't yet signed the lease, and when Ned recognises the girl's name, he offers to take it over there as an excuse to talk to her.

Mel witnesses the boy get attacked by soda bottles at the gas station and has a vision of being kneedeep in mud.

After Ned brings his 'Anthropology of the Occult' teacher (Avery) a spirit board and she starts getting haunted, she has to forget everything she thought she knew about the paranormal world in order for Melinda to help her.

However, it turns out to be the daughter of the guy driving the car that killed him and herself (probably blaming Avery for her death) because she'd sent the text Curtis was answering at the time of the accident.

Melinda very quickly discovers that the house is haunted by violent spirits after Ned gets hurt there-which doesn't go down well with Delia- and she realizes that the ghost of the little girl (Cassidy) is being trapped there.

Delia wants Ned to stop getting involved with ghosts because she feels it is getting too dangerous, she is shaken up from the explosion at her office.

After he is nearly impaled by icicles outside the store, Mel and Eli see a picture he posted to his blog a whole day before, exactly like that scene.
