Reading the story in 1 Samuel 28 about a spiritualist medium calling up a prophet from the dead used to bother me. How can this be? Then I read the footnote in our Bible:
14a This cannot be a bona fide vision from God, brought about by a spiritualist medium. See v. 15. Its effect was to destroy all hope. See v. 20.
That made a lot of sense to me.

Rating Pending gave a good answer that throws some additional light on the scripture.
