An old friend (and bridge partner) of Bosley, who has turned her estate into a private institute for psychic research, believes she has been contacted by her dead nephew from "the other side". Bosley thinks it's all a big fraud, so Charlie sends Kris and Sabrina undercover at the institute, as researcher and gifted psychic, respectively. Pretty soon a shocking murder occurs there - a murder that seems to have been committed by a ghost!
Probably the most "out there" episode of the series since Season 2's "Unidentified Flying Angels", but with an important difference: in that episode you knew all along that the UFOs and the other extra-terrestrial stuff were a complete fraud, while in this one the possibility of an actual (malicious) ghost is kept alive nearly all the way. The solution of the mystery is simple but ingenious - the kind of twist that made Agatha Christie famous, updated to the late 1970s. The music score goes wonderfully spooky, and Kris has a great line: "Some of my best friends are detectives"! *** out of 4.
