Aiden Lucas is the son of Melinda Gordon and Jim Clancy he is portrayed by Connor Gibbs.
Aiden was born on September 25, 2009, Before his birth the watchers predict him and told Melinda that her son is the key if the ghost's balances shift and that he will be more powerful than she is. On the day of his birth , Melinda worried that about her son's fate. During his birth, Melinda needed an emergency C-section and Aiden suddenly goes into fetal distress in the operating room. First the watcher (Carl) warned Melinda of her child’s power and the danger he may come into, stops time to tell her that Fate and Free Will will work together to decide whether or not the baby will live. He quickly disappears and time restarts. While the baby isn’t breathing at first, he suddenly recovers to full health. Later in recovery, Melinda tells Jim they’ll name the baby Aiden Lucas, for Jim’s father’s name and Sam. They are celebrating Aiden's upcoming fifth birthday. But every year on his birthday something bad happens, Delia and Melinda called it a birthday curse, Aiden would strangely get sick or something would happen to Melinda or Jim. However Aiden was actually haunted by a ghost and the ghost is the same women that died during childbirth when Melinda gave birth to Aiden. The woman believed Aiden is the spirit of her dead son and she would haunt Aiden every year on his birthday.
Melinda discovered this and found out that Amber, the ghosts' son Tyler was actually alive and safe with his real father and adopotive mother, Aiden saved Tyler earlier in a bowling accident and Melinda helped the woman go into the light. Later Carl revealed to Melinda that Aiden is an empath and can feel other people's emotions and that is why he would get sick on his birthday because of the ghost and why something went wrong with his birth. Aiden is also psychically connected to Melinda but Melinda does not tell Aiden this because she wants him to have a normal life.
Aiden has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts as his mother does, Aiden is also an empath and has a connection with his mother. He also is able to see things that Melinda can't, namely the Shinies (which Aiden refers to as 'faceless' and made of 'light') and the Shadows. His other gifts are still unknown.
