Jennifer Love Hewitt has said in the past that people sometimes confuse her for the sweet ghost-seeing character she plays on her long-running TV series. She’s also revealed that she believes in ghosts and thinks that she was once contacted by her late grandmother during a session with TV medium James Van Praagh, who also produces “Ghost Whisperer.”
The National Enquirer has a related story this week that Hewitt believes her Hollywood home is inhabited by two spirits. One is the ghost of a high school friend who died in a car accident, and another is the departed wife of the previous owner. Hewitt doesn’t think they talk to her or anything, just that they make their presence known:
“[Jennifer Love Hewitt] believes two different spirits inhabit her house in Hollywood,” said a close friend…
One is the spirit of a boy she went to high school with who was killed in a car crash. And the second is a former resident of her house – Dorothy Chaney, the deceased wife of horror movie legend Lon Chaney Jr., reveals the friend.
And just like her TV alter ego, Jennifer isn’t the least bit afraid.
“She believes they’re both looking out for her,” said the friend. “Whenever she hears something go bump in the night, she doesn’t worry. Love says she just thinks to herself. ‘Oh, that’s just Dorothy!’”
Jennifer, whose character Melinda Gordon communicates with dead people on the hit CBS drama, has been sharing her otherworldly communications with the show’s consultant, Mary Ann Winkowski, about whom the show is based.
“Love really believes ghosts sometimes communicate with the living,” added the friend. “And she thinks she’s one of the lucky ones who they reach out to.”

In honor of Halloween, I watched about three episodes of “Ghost Whisperer” from this season. While it was cheesy as hell, I really enjoyed it. Some of the plots were so hackneyed, like the girl who died in a car accident (spoilers for Ghost Whisperer earlier this season) while reading a chain e-mail that said something bad would happen to you if you didn’t forward it. She kept terrorizing her friends to get them to forward the e-mail and it was pretty ridiculous. There’s a real campiness to the show that’s probably unintentional but adds to the fun.
The creepiness factor is also kept to an acceptable level. You always know that the ghost is going to end up going to the light, and that the people the spirit needs to contact will never question Hewitt’s ability to see ghosts. Like why doesn’t anyone say to her “I think you’re crazy,” or “I don’t believe in that”? (Maybe they do, and I haven’t seen enough episodes to judge.)
Anyway it’s not that surprising that Hewitt buys into some of this stuff. But does she also think that ghosts are stuck here trying to resolve issues from their lives and if so, why doesn’t she help these two spirits?

Could she be anymore desperate for attention?

Yeah, one ghost is her size 2 frame, and the other is her brain.

Is she going to be on that show Celebrity Ghost Stories? It’s on the Bio.com channel and it is so good it gives me chills. Much better than that dumb movie Paranormal Activity which was a waste of money and not done well at all. Jennifer Love had a schizophrenic stalking her years ago. Someone named Diana and I think it ruined her for life. Left a scar.

Why does she always have that same look on her face?

I love that she thinks the boy from highschool that died would choose to live with her. Didn’t he have any family or friends?
I bet the next National Enquirer headline will be “Jennifer Love Hewitt: I’m engaged to a ghost”.

Loved the show before Jamie Kennedy.. Now that she and him are bumping nasties the show revolves around his character way too much. Plus you don’t really get to see her HOT hubbie as much now..
And I would much rather look at him over JK.

A friend of mine says she sees a Confederate soldier in my living room by the fireplace, where she says he feels very comfortable and likes to stay. He might be there, but it might scare the crap out of me to actually see anything.
I watched Celeb Ghost Stories the other night and it was good viewing though.

Let’s see here… she thinks that there are ghosts living in her house, and she thinks Jamie Kennedy is a hot dude. Not to nit pick, but her judgement may be a bit off in general.

And this is what you do when your show is starting to slide in the ratings. You make up some kind of BS and hope for a headline.

why does it have to say “she thinks she has ghosts? not even ” she says” she has ghosts. some people believe and have experienced this stuff before and people are so quick to judge, and be skeptics. whatever.

I have a few spirits in my house and I think they’re cool. They play with my children’s toys and like to hang out in the living room late at night with me. I’m not shouting it from the rooftops to get a few minutes of fame! LOL And to others who have experienced this, I would love to hear about it. Maybe we can share stories here!

Wow didn’t realize JLH had such an awful following. I like the show, my husband cheated on me (sex addict supposedly) and was very romantic at the same time so although the show is “cheesy” (I hate that word btw) it’s better than having your ah husband cheating on you. I’ll take cheesy any day. Lastly, is she really THAT bad? I never noticed. And I do believe in ghosts, I lived in a 1920′s Spanish haunted luxurious Tudor. It was scary and fun and I miss it.
