I'm not an expert but isn't it forbidden in Judaism to commune with the dead

Yes, Jews, Muslims, and many Christian sects have expressly forbidden necromancy, communicating, or inquiring things with the dead, as it is labeled as witchcraft and a part of demonology. It is a part of demonology since it is believed that malevolent spirits could use the communication to free themselves from Hell, or trick humans into doing their bidding.
