Featured review
This one is just bizarre.
The beginning of the end for Charlie's Angels really.
Ratings were already going down, I believe, and then they come up with this - ghosts and the supernatural introduced, about as far removed from the original gritty angels as you can get. Struggling to define Shelley Hack's Tiffany's personality, the writers now suddenly give her a background as a psychic with special powers, who organized seances at high school, was 'very big into the occult', and worked for a ghost hunter.
And then at the end of the episode, in the Townshend office, when Bosley expresses cynicism towards the existence of ghosts his desk rises and shakes - so ghosts do exist in the world of Charlie Angels, and we're moving into The Exorcist/ horror genre here, rather than three female detectives chasing criminals in downtown LA.
This episode concentrates on Tiffany (Shelley Hack), with Kris (Cheryl Ladd) and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) on the periphery, and, as attractive as she is, it exposes Shelley Hack's lack of acting skills.
At this point Charlie's Angels is now badly missing Kate Jackson, who, if she watched it at the time, would have been on no doubt that she made the right decision by leaving when she did.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor all its paranormal happenings and "horror film" atmosphere, and with all its Lon Chaney, Phantom of the Opera and Frankenstein references, it's surprising that this title was not a Halloween episode: it was actually broadcast in January, the day after New Year's Day.
- GoofsKelly and Kris both scoff at the notion that Tiffany could possibly be a psychic. Yet, in Haunted Angels (1978), Kris is infatuated with a psychic, who accurately "reads" her, including seeing her in a uniform, with a gun. And Kelly witnesses a ghost manifesting by blowing up a TV set, shaking a chandelier and making framed pictures fall off the wall. Yet here, when Erica shares that Tiffany had strong ESP abilities, because they do not believe in the paranormal, Kris and Kelly both roll their eyes and glance at each other with understanding looks that are meant to mock Tiffany's esoteric gifts.
- Quotes
Erica Burke: That professor of parapsychology in Vermont, he tested you and said you were very definitely a sensitive.
Kris Munroe: [jokingly] Hmm, does this mean you're a psychic?
Tiffany Welles: [flippantly] No, it means I get hurt easily!
