During a recent stint at the Television Critics Associationโ€™s press tour, a journalist asked The West Wing actor if he has been able to communicate with spirits during the series and surprisingly the answer was yes!

โ€œYeah โ€” now. I hadnโ€™t previously to this. It was through the Ovilus,โ€ Rob said.

โ€œThereโ€™s a device they use that the theory is it can translate โ€ฆ that the spirits can talk through this device, for a lack of better term. Donโ€™t ask me how, donโ€™t ask me the science, I donโ€™t know.โ€

โ€œJohn just thinks itโ€™s randomly programmed to say words at any given time, which it could be, but how does it know to say the word?โ€ he went on to say.

Rob revealed that it was a woman he communicated with via the Ovilus.

โ€œIt said the dead womanโ€™s name where she was murdered. Judge for yourself โ€ฆ I donโ€™t want to seem like a nut. I donโ€™t want to end my career here,โ€ the actor joked.

โ€œToo late?โ€

Rob has described the new series as โ€œAnthony Bourdain in a blender with Scooby-Doo.โ€

It is unclear if Rob and his sons were able to solve any of the mysteries they encountered, but Rob says he is happy to just spend the time with his kids.

โ€œWe want to solve it, but if we donโ€™t, the point of it is a father and sons on the road, making memories.โ€
