Jon, you were thinking of the "Witch of Endor" (1 Samuel chpt 28 verses 3-25)... she was a medium and he tricked her into calling up the spirit of the prophet Samuel who had died.

I consider myself to be a Christian, but I have seen "dead" people, they don't often talk but I can feel their presence. I don't ask to see them and I don't seek them out, it just happens. Maybe some people are just more receptive than others....
