Any association with dead spirit is familiar spirit. I met a sister who had lost her mother six months back. She kept seeing the mother everyday after her death.

Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God so you maybe able to stand against the wiles of familiar spirits – Ephesians 6:10-11
