Episode Title: Living Nightmare

A very confused man named Robert is being haunted to death. Melinda came across Robert while visiting her husband at work. Melinda got an early premonition wherein she saw a women got slashed on the arm.

This got them very concern that someone got hurt and trying to find out if it's Roberts fault. Jim also uses his access to the Hospital to gather more information on Robert who is confined on the Hospital. Detective Blair also got involved on this as Robert arrived at the hospital with bruises and blood on his clothes and screaming that someone is following him with a knife.

Melinda saw a very disturbing image of Robert while they are in the hospital which adds up to the Mystery of the of this episode. It was a representation of Robert with a goats eye holding a knife. Ned started investigate on his own and giving false information to Melinda which added confusions to her investigations. As Jim also helped on solving this mystery he lets Melinda verify a dead body with cuts on the arms. But the ghost of the dead body only added confusion to the mystery but left a very helpful information to Melinda.

Melinda saw the ghost who is haunting Robert but has no idea who the Ghost is. This is when Melinda starts her investigative skills to find out the ghost identity. Melinda started working with Jim and Detective Blair to gather information. As she finds out the history of Robert's family, the is Robert's father making all the illusions on Robert's mind believing that Robert is like him.

Robert believing that he's like his father decided to end it by committing a suicide. But his soon wife to be cooperate with Melinda to unravel the mystery of Robert's family. Robert's father want's the generation to stop by having his son dead. But all the while he's wrong it was just a disease wherein medically curable. Melinda and Robert's girlfriend just in time to stop Robert committing suicide. A very emotional scene and realization with Robert's father. As all fairy tales end Robert and his girlfriend live happily ever after.

A very confusing episode as there are a lot of information and twists on the story line. But I find it exciting to watch. It will not be an episode of Ghost Whisperer if it doesn't have twists and turns on the storyline. That's why I love watching Ghost Whisperer episodes it makes the viewers analyze as well.

Photography: Monochrome Photography




Monochrome photography is photography where the image produced has a single hue, rather than recording the colours of the object that was photographed. It includes all forms of black and white photography, which produce images containing tones of grey ranging from black to white. Most modern black and white films, called panchromatic films, record the entire visible spectrum. Some films are orthochromatic, recording visible light wavelengths shorter than 590 nanometres.

Black and white photography is considered more subtle and interpretive, and less realistic than colour photography. Monochrome images are not direct renditions of their subjects, but are abstractions from reality, representing colours in shades of grey. In computer terms, this is often called greyscale.

Monochrome images may be produced using black and white film or paper, or by manipulating colour images using computer software
