Shown 24th March 2002 - Sunday

A group of slackers from Detroit have become guardians of a magic talisman. It allows them to see and communicate with ghosts. This episode mimics the John Lithgow segment in the Twilight Zone movie , where one of the slackers is aboard a plane and a ghost tells him that the plane will crash. Nobody will believe him, so he takes his sister hostage with a knife and forces his way into the cockpit. Hmm. One assumes this was filmed prior to 11th September 2001.
