** When Fiona is being haunted by the ghost of an 86 year old boy he reveals during the climax of the episode of how he died. Originally thinking he died in the Chicago Fire, she discovers that the boy drowned when the boat he and his parents were on capsized. In one of the most gut-wrenching scenes in the whole series, Fi gets a flashback to the day the boy died: how he was desperately clinging to the railing and trying to reach his parents who were in turn doing everything in their power to save their (presumably) only son. But before his father could reach him the boy's grip on the railing slips and he slides down the boat while his parents look in horror, screaming out for him. Fi, all the while, watching this can't do anything and even when the boy slips past her she desperately tries to save by grabbing him...and instead grabs his shirt which has his name on it. In the end, Fi manages to unite the boy with his parents in death by having the historical society find his grave so he can buried next to his parents. When Fi is walking back to the bus the spirits of the boy and his parents stand together as a family once more, in a way almost like a thank-you to Fi. That episode gets this troper crying hysterically every single time.
** The song Molly sings about her titular childhood friend at the end of the episode "Rebecca". Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
*** The episode itself too. Going to your best friend's house to deliver a surprise birthday cake and then entering an empty house only to find out she moved away without telling you has got to hurt. Especially because Molly never really found out why.
** "Sacrifice" reveals a soldier's friendship with a bigfoot and his diary states that he could've called out to the soldiers calling for him, but decides not to because the bigfoot's existence was more valuable than his own. His final request is that he asks for someone to tell his wife and child that he was an honorable man and great soldier.
** In "James Garr", the titular character switches bodies with an old cancer patient, thus sacrificing his life to save the old man's life. Why? Because his life had no meaning. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
** "Strange Geometry" has Fi giving up her opportunity to see her deceased father again in order to free all the spirits trapped in a building. After this Molly tells her that her father was a paranormal investigator just like her when she was alive, and she kept this a secret from her in order to protect her.

**When Fiona is being haunted by the ghost of an 86 year old boy he reveals during the climax of the episode of how he died. Originally thinking he died in the Chicago Fire, she discovers that the boy drowned when the boat he and his parents were on capsized. In one of the most gut-wrenching scenes in the whole series, Fi gets a flashback to the day the boy died: how he was desperately clinging to the railing and trying to reach his parents who were in turn doing everything in their power to save their (presumably) only son. But before his father could reach him the boy's grip on the railing slips and he slides down the boat while his parents look in horror, screaming out for him. Fi, all the while, watching this can't do anything and even when the boy slips past her she desperately tries to save by grabbing him...and instead grabs his shirt which has his name on it. In the end, Fi manages to unite the boy with his parents in death by having the historical society find his grave so he can buried next to his parents. When Fi is walking back to the bus the spirits of the boy and his parents stand together as a family once more, in a way almost like a thank-you to Fi. That episode gets this troper crying hysterically every single time.

**"Vampire" is about an evil vampire trying to kill Jack as revenge for Rick exposing his father. He, Fi, and Molly are very nearly eaten. And then all the vampires melt away into the night, still out there.
**"Werewolf" has a POV-shot of a werewolf hunting down Fi, Jack and Carey. They very closely manage to escape into the protection of the bus. And then the plan is to trap the werewolf inside the bus by having Fi and Jack slip out the back window while Carey opens the door to lure in the werewolf--with the plan to have Carey leave through the window while Fi and Jack shut the door.
**"Strange Geometry" has tortured souls press their faces from the walls. The special effects are just good enough to be absolutely terrifying.

Using some kind of BlackMagic that's part of the mirrors at the carnival, he briefly turns Molly into a meltable woman and then puts her near a fire to melt, makes Irene dance on hot coals, and turns another person into stone. At least Annie undoes the spell, but the guy who cast it is a KarmaHoudini!
