Talking to the dead is a somewhat controversial topic. However, many people not only find it possible, but also acceptable. In general, we try to get in touch with the deceased out of the desire to speak with a loved one who is no longer there or to try to communicate with the spirits who are thought to be haunting a certain place.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Communicate Directly with the Deceased
Step 1. Focus your attention on sharpening your sixth sense
If focusing on the image of the deceased you want to connect with isn't enough, you may want to try a more structured method of shifting your attention to a higher dimension.
- You need to be aware of yourself and your state of mind at the moment you are thinking. Observe your position, the weather and your feelings. Otherwise, it may be difficult to return to reality later.
- Gradually bring your senses to a level of mild concentration, which is a state where you will be less aware of the physical details around you.
- Once your physical awareness has diminished, focus on the energy surrounding you in the room you are in. You don't have to look for it, you just have to open yourself up to the external forces present. If you feel presences, try asking questions; be aware that not all hypothetical answers will be in the form of words, but they could also manifest themselves through images or sensations.
Step 2. Try to contact the dead with the power of the mind
Some experts in the paranormal believe that the ability to speak with the dead is not limited to professional mediums, but that it is inherent in all those people who are able to increase their spiritual awareness. According to this theory, although it takes time and a lot of practice, it is still possible to get in touch with deceased loved ones.
-
Relax and clear your mind, as if you were preparing for meditation. Sit in a quiet, distraction-free place. Close your eyes and free your mind of all anxiety and any thoughts.

Fix a picture of the deceased you intend to contact in your mind after eliminating all other thoughts. Choose one that is representative of that person based on your relationship with them. The more meaningful the image is to you, the easier it will be to establish a connection with the deceased.
Talk to the Dead Step 2Bullet2 -
Ask the deceased a question after holding his image fixed in your mind for several seconds. Keep your mind focused on the image and wait. Do not respond as you think this person would have responded. Instead, be patient until you can get an answer that you are sure does not come from your mind.

Step 3. Ask for answers to simple questions
This technique is not particularly useful for contacting the deceased dear to us, but it is a very common practice used by investigators of the paranormal when they try to get in touch with spirits in a certain potentially haunted place. Go to the room where you think paranormal activity is most intense. Ask simple questions that can be answered with a yes or no and ask the entity for a specific method of answering. The two most common methods are that of striking a shot or more and that of the flashlight.
-
For the strike method, instruct any spirits present to strike one strike for yes and two for no.

For the flashlight method, choose one with a simple ignition system, such as those that have a small button at the end. Turn on the flashlight and turn it in the front to the point where it goes out. Place it on a flat surface and position it so it cannot roll and fall. Gently press the flashlight's power button and make sure the light can turn on and off. Tell any spirits present to press the button once to say yes and twice to say no.

Part 2 of 3: Engage outside help
Step 1. Ask for the help of a medium
You can usually contact one by searching online or in the phone book.
- If you want to talk to a deceased loved one, it is very likely that the medium will ask you to meet at your home or will invite you to come to their place of work. If you think that the spirit with which you intend to contact is present in your home, then the medium will have to come directly to your home. Not all mediums practice the latter type of service, but many carry on their business in their own studio.
- Pay attention to the medium you choose. Even those who are not skeptical about the practice of speaking with the dead know that not all mediums really have such abilities. As in so many other cases, the world is full of charlatans. When looking for a medium, make an appointment and try to verify his credibility. When you meet him on a first date, be careful not to be misled with questions that may actually give him the answers he will then pretend to guess.
Step 2. Learn about EVP and EMP technologies
An EVP phenomenon, or metaphony, occurs when a voice that is not normally audible is instead tracked in a digital recording. An EMP phenomenon, or electromagnetic pulses, can only be recorded using an EMP meter. To try both options, you need to go to a place known to be full of spiritual energy and once there, start asking questions.
-
Using EVP technology you can practically ask for anything; this is the most common practice when trying to find out the name of a spirit or other unknown details. Ask your questions, pausing for a long time between each question, so that the spirits have time to answer. Play the recording and listen carefully to try to find out any unusual murmurs or noises that could be translated into responses.

Using EMP technology, on the other hand, you can usually ask simple questions that involve only the answers "yes" or "no". The most widely used EMP meter is a device that activates when electromagnetic energy levels increase. Ask your questions and tell any spirits present that if the meter lights up once this equates to a yes, if it lights up twice it equates to no.

Step 3. Consider a séance
In this case, a group of people gathers and uses the collective energy to communicate with the afterlife. To make one, you need at least 3 people who are well disposed towards this type of experience. This practice can be used to get in touch with deceased loved ones or wandering spirits. However, we must be very careful, because we risk also contacting evil spirits.
-
Create the right mood by turning off the lights and using only candles as a light source. Candles must be 3 or a number divisible by 3. You can also use incense.
Talk to the Dead Step 6Bullet1 -
Sit with the other participants around a table to form a circle and hold the candles in your hands. Say a prayer for the spirits to manifest.

Alternatively, you can attempt to call the spirits through a Ouija board.
Talk to the Dead Step 6Bullet3 -
Wait for an answer, possibly repeating the prayer if necessary.
Talk to the Dead Step 6Bullet4 -
Once you have established the connection with the spirit of the deceased, calmly ask your questions.
Talk to the Dead Step 6Bullet5 - The séance ends by interrupting the human circle and blowing out the candles.
Part 3 of 3: Using Prayer and Other Methods
Step 1. Pray
Not all faiths have specific practices or prayers to be used to address the dead, but some do. These prayers are often in the form of intercession and are to be said in two ways.
- In the first case, it is possible to pray that the deceased loved ones may rest in peace after death, rather than addressing them directly, with the knowledge that in any case they are listening to your prayers or are aware of it.
- In the second case, you can pray directly for a deceased loved one. The salvation of his soul is not specifically asked, but you can ask the deceased to intercede or pray for you from beyond. Some believe that, as part of the spiritual realm, the soul of someone with strong faith in earthly life will be more likely to contact and have their prayers received by a deity from beyond.
Step 2. Look hard in the mirror
Looking in the mirror is a way some people use in trying to communicate with deceased loved ones. It is similar to the practice of attempting mediumistic contact using the power of one's mind, but in this case the mirror is used to help establish a clearer connection.
- Relax your mind; go to a quiet room, where you can be alone and where there is a mirror. Close your eyes and free yourself from any anxiety, strong emotion or any other thought.
- Focus your thoughts only on the person you wish to communicate with, creating an image in your mind. Make this image as vivid as possible until you can basically see all of its features.
- Slowly open your eyes and look in the mirror. Imagine that the figure you thought appears in it. Even if it is blurry or overlaps yours, you should still be able to see the image of your deceased loved one.
- Ask your questions. Don't force the answers, but be patient; be aware that these may also come in the form of emotions or images rather than words.
Step 3. Communicate with the deceased through his objects
Some have found that objects possessed by a deceased person are still connected to their spirit. This bond can give you the power to evoke it and make communication possible. If you want to connect with a loved one who is no longer there, find a piece of clothing, a book, or other personal items that that person used. Take him to the place where he lived. Hold the object and start "conversing" with your loved one.
Step 4. Speak without asking for an answer
If you are hesitant or skeptical about talking to the deceased through paranormal or supernatural means, you can always communicate with the dead without necessarily asking for an answer in return. For those who believe in the existence of spirits, it is common to think that these are watching over their loved ones who are still alive. You can speak to a deceased loved one wherever you are, or you can choose a place that has a special meaning, such as their grave or a place where you have shared a memorable experience. Tell the person everything that comes into your mind; It is possible to ask questions, but since you are not looking for answers, your speech does not necessarily have to be limited to questions.
Advice
- EXTREME CAUTION is required when trying to contact the dead, especially if you are grieving, as you are more vulnerable and may attract evil spirits. There are in fact good spirits and bad spirits; if you only remotely think you want to contact the dead, keep that in mind. Spirits can somehow take over you, in my opinion even for such a short period of time that you don't even notice. Be very careful and immediately after contact with the afterlife, as a precaution, do not immediately drive or hold weapons or other potentially dangerous objects in your hand!
- Libra skepticism and open-mindedness. In order for these practices to work, you need to be mentally open and prepared for these kinds of experiences. At the same time, however, it is very easy to get carried away and imagine answers that in reality do not really come from the spirits of the dead.
- Ask yourself why you intend to communicate with the deceased. You may change your mind if this is just a passing curiosity. This issue should not be taken lightly and should only be considered if you have strong reasons why you intend to make contact.
- Ponder the validity and accuracy of your chosen method of communicating with the dead. Some religions prohibit contact with the dead and there are valid reasons for these beliefs. Ask yourself whether or not your religious beliefs allow you to talk to spirits.
