In the Psych season 1 episode 7, titled "Who Ya Gonna Call?," psychic detective Shawn and his reluctant partner Gus are hired by a client who is convinced that her house is haunted. Despite initially being skeptical of supernatural occurrences, Shawn quickly becomes convinced that there is something otherworldly at play when they witness furniture moving on its own and hear strange noises.
As they investigate the haunted house, Shawn and Gus are drawn into the history of the property and its former owners, including a greedy real estate developer who was rumored to have buried stolen diamonds on the premises. They also encounter a group of avid ghost hunters who are also investigating the house and clash with the duo over their methods and beliefs.
As the investigation progresses, Shawn and Gus begin to suspect that the haunting could be an elaborate hoax orchestrated by someone who has a stake in the property's history. With their trademark humor and attention to detail, they work to uncover the truth behind the supposed haunting and find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations as they get closer to the hidden diamonds and the potential perpetrators behind the elaborate hoax.
The episode is notable for its playful riff on the classic Ghostbusters catchphrase "Who you gonna call?", as well as for its inventive use of spooky atmosphere and visual effects to create a genuinely creepy atmosphere. It also features strong performances from series regulars James Roday and Dule Hill, who continue to bring their unique chemistry and comedic timing to the show's central partnership. Overall, "Who Ya Gonna Call?" is a standout episode of Psych's first season that will leave viewers both entertained and spooked.
