After getting a call from a former monster hunter, Martin, who’s now locked up in an asylum, the Supernatural boys commit themselves in order to help find, catch, and destroy whatever is picking off patients.

Inside the institution, Dean and Sam get separated for group sessions.  Dean gets a personal therapist who tries to tell him that all of the pressure that he places upon himself to save the world will kill him if he doesn’t let up.  Sam discovers more people who fear the “monster” and tries to talk to them.  However, every time he gets close to someone, they die.  After Sam opens up the head of one of the dead and discovers a shriveled, dried brain, Martin tells the boys that they’re fighting a wraith, a creature who drains the juices dry from the brains of its victims.  They have to fight the creature with silver, but unfortunately it can look like anyone around them.  The only way to see its true form is in its reflection.

Dean starts watching the room mirrors and sees the doctor looking like a wraith in the reflection.  Sam finds him after hours and attacks him with a silver letter opener, only to have Martin stop him.  The silver isn’t effecting the doctor’s skin.  Dean was mistaken and Sam almost killed a human.  The boys slowly start going insane, both having break downs and trying to stay sane.  Dean and Martin suspect a patient, Heather, who’s kissed both of the brothers.  They rush to investigate and find a nurse killing Heather.  The nurse is the wraith.  She manages to escape to Sam’s room where Dean corners her and kills her with another silver letter opener.  It was her touch on the brothers that caused them to go crazy.  Once she’s dead, they go back to normal and escape.

I’d never seen this show before and honestly, I wasn’t expecting what I got.  At first I thought it might be a humorous show since it seemed the actors who played the Winchester brothers were having a “who can talk the lowest with the roughest sound to their voice” contest, but I was surprised by the amount of violence and movie thriller-like effects.  As a person who grew up researching the paranormal, it was a decently entertaining show.  However, it may not be very good for those with active imaginations (I had to remind myself that my apartment is not haunted and it’s OK to go to sleep).  All in all, a very entertaining show.
