The dead do not according to the bible communicate with the living. When people die that is their life over. Eccl. 9:5, 6, 10: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [the grave], the place to which you are going.”
With whom are those who endeavor to speak with the dead actually communicating?

The truth about the condition of the dead is clearly stated in the Bible. But who tried to deceive the first human pair about death? Satan contradicted God’s warning that disobedience would bring death. (Gen. 3:4; Rev. 12:9) In time, of course, it became obvious that humans did die as God said they would. Reasonably, then, who was responsible for inventing the idea that humans really do not die but that some spirit part of man survives the death of the body? Such a deception fits Satan the Devil, whom Jesus described as “the father of the lie.” (John 8:44; see also 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10.) Belief that the dead are really alive in another realm and that we can communicate with them has not benefited mankind. On the contrary, Revelation 18:23 says that, by means of the spiritistic practices of Babylon the Great, “all the nations were misled.” The spiritistic practice of ‘talking with the dead’ is actually a fraudulent deception that can put people in contact with the demons (angels that became selfish rebels against God) and often leads to a person’s hearing unwanted voices and being harassed by those wicked spirits.

No. Seriously my father and I spoke many times about the existence of an after life and he said that when he died he would find some way to let me know if there was something after this world. He passed away in 1989 and I have not heard from him since.

I have no choice when their presence come near me, or if I see them, some are ghost, some spirits, and some perhaps angels. Very few have spoken to me, usually I feel what they are thinking, and or communicating, even felt God intervene to me, and felt what he said. Only one spirit spoke out loud to me, about fourteen words, and another time call out my name, she is my spirit guide. They seem to come when I pray sometimes, that would be like tuning in the spirit world.

When I read the question I want to say no, because everything that is not from God is from Satan. But The Holy Spirit is very real, I am in it right now.
