Ghost Whisperer

Excessive Forces - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: After Jim and Aiden surprised Melinda with the new SUV Melinda drives off in the red vehicle, but when Aiden and Jim do their fist bump it cuts to a closeup of Jim, and the red SUV is still parked beside Jim.

Super Grover

Weight of What Was - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Jim joins Melinda on the bench to discuss the treatment records from Gabriel's institution, the heart locket on Melinda's neck keeps vanishing and reappearing repeatedly, depending on the angle of the shot. (00:07:50)

Super Grover

Last Execution - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Melinda's hair is caught in the garbage disposal, she reaches for the switch and it is in the down position. When it switches back to her and then back to the switch, it is now in the up position.

Boobra

Voices - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show when Jim is making toast they show him through the window taking the toast out of the toaster and putting it on the plate. In the next shot he is walking towards the kitchen table and the plate is empty. Then while talking to his mother he picks up a piece of toast to put jelly on it.

Boobra

Voices - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Melinda is driving to Clark's house when she is shown from a distance she is wearing a red hat. When they show her close up she is not wearing a hat.

Boobra

Heart & Soul - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: After Sam reads the newspaper article about Jim's death it cuts to him dropping in to see Melinda, and when he's looking at the framed photographs on the sideboard two of the closeups of the photos are flipped shots - the positions of the frames are reversed.

Super Grover

Leap of Faith - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: While Melinda's trapped underground with the rising water flooding the utility vault, when Eli and Jim go down below Eli takes off his shoes and jacket, the camera pans up from the churning water and we briefly see Eli's bare feet. The next shot we see him taking the socks off.

Super Grover

On the Wings of a Dove - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Joseph wants proof that Melinda sees Julian, the boy asks Melinda to describe the tattoo behind his father's right ear, and we see a close-up of the white dove tattoo that Julian got after his son's birth. Then, while Julian whispers to his son, there is no tattoo behind his left ear, but as Julian walks backwards toward Jim the white dove tattoo is now visible. (00:37:40)

Super Grover

The Walk-in - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: When Jim brings a new body to the morgue there's a "John Doe" already lying there, and in the close up we see that the corpse's right foot is missing the middle toe. We see this again later when Jim's ring is stolen from his locker, with the bloody right footprint on the floor. However, when Melinda shows up the close-up shots of the bloody footprints have been flipped so it's the left foot with the missing toe, but what's funny is that in the audio we hear Jim say, "The middle toe is missing on the right foot."

Super Grover

Imaginary Friends and Enemies - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: In the scene in the woods where we first see Owen's ghost, as the camera cuts back and forth between Melinda talking to Owen and what her friend sees, the two women are alternately closer and then significantly farther apart. They're supposed to be standing basically in the same spots, only taking maybe one or two small steps during Melinda's conversation with Owen.

The Prophet - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: Melinda calls Deliah early in the morning. Her husband just said it was 4:10 and she called her friend who also said it was 4:10. Deliah looks at the clock and confirms the time. But as the camera pulls back, the minutes on the clock are visible, showing 22.

Quantom X

The Book of Changes - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: When Eli tries to use a card to open Zoe's door, the card breaks. He is holding on to the larger piece of the card in his right hand when this happens and the smaller piece is in the frame. He gets the other piece and the shot changes to him suddenly holding the smaller piece in his left hand, as well as the card having been flipped around (the strip is seen in both shots, and the two shots face in opposite directions).

Knever

Bad Blood - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: After Delia and Melinda are at the house in the countryside the episode cuts to a scene at Same As It Never Was Antiques. In this shot out the front we can see Melinda's 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited edition parked, but Melinda hasn't had this since the first episode of season 3. From Season 3 episode 2 Melinda can be seen driving a 2007 Saturn Outlook XR. (00:04:50 - 00:39:51)

Austin King

No Safe Place - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode when Jim and Melinda are watching the last of the movie, at one point Melinda takes a drink of her beer and crosses her arms twice but from a different angle.

Birthday Presence - S5-E1

Character mistake: When Aiden and Melinda go the the hospital to visit Jim/Sam the picture on the hospital badge is of Jim Clancy not Sam Lucas... Jim has been in Sam's body for many years at this point. You can see the badge multiple times in the episode.

Show generally

Question: At the end of the episode, where Melinda helps that lady (who meets the guy who got her dead fiance's heart), what was the man at the end of the episode (who was laughing and seemed to be a spirit) supposed to be about?

Answer: This "spirit" appears in several episodes throughout the rest of the season including the season finale. He's a "bad spirit" that is intent on keeping souls trapped on Earth. With the death of Andrea (her business partner) he wanted to make a deal with Melinda, to give him HER soul to release everyone else including Andrea to cross over.
