<P> Melinda Gordon ( Jennifer Love Hewitt ) is a young woman from the town of Grandview , New York , who has the ability to see and communicate with the dead . Melinda lives with her husband , Jim Clancy ( David Conrad ) , and later their son Aiden ( Connor Gibbs ) . She owns a shop called `` Same as It Never Was Antiques '' . Ghosts seek Melinda 's help in relaying a message or completing a task that will put the spirit to rest , and allow them to cross over into the light . Those who died with unfinished business become earthbound and can not cross over , and Melinda , as their earthly representative , helps them to find peace . The show does not present the ghosts as having sinned ; rather it is the spirits ' own guilt that condemns them , and their own fear of judgment that keeps them from `` crossing over '' into an afterlife . </P>
