MONICA AND THE GIRLS HEAD OUT FOR A MUCH NEEDED WEEKEND GETAWAY ON A LAKE, BUT SPIRIT TAGS ALONG ON AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF ABC FAMILY'S "MONICA THE MEDIUM" AIRING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13 AT 8:00PM ET/PT

Burbank, CA - September 23, 2015 - Monica and her roommates decide to get away for a long weekend, but Spirit won't let Monica take time off from giving readings, on an all-new episode of "Monica the Medium," airing Tuesday, October 13th (8:00 PM -ET/PT) on ABC Family.

Monica and the girls are burned out from school and decide to take a much needed break to head out to a lake for a long weekend. But even though Monica swore she wouldn't do any readings, Spirit keeps coming through. Against Krista's wishes, she reads a lady in a country store who lost her baby, a mother and daughter who lost a grandson/nephew, a boy who lost his great grandma and even her friend, whose grandfather comes through.

Monica the Medium follows Monica, a college junior, navigating friends, family, relationships - and the fact that she's a medium and can talk to dead people. Her uncommon vocation provides an endless supply of emotional and engaging stories, with a unique millennial perspective. The show is produced by Dave Caplan's Trooper Entertainment in association with Lionsgate TV. Caplan will serve as executive producer alongside Malachi McGlone. It's in production in State College, PA.
