The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts: A Riveting Investigation into Channeling and Spirit Guides is a book by the journalist Joe Fisher. It was published in 1990 in Canada and the United Kingdom and was later published in the United States in 2001. It has become a popular book within the New Age movement.
Fisher began to investigate paranormal phenomena and made contact with his own spiritual guide, a spirit who claimed to be a Greek woman who was his lover during an earlier life. He received much information from his contact with the spirits and started to check whether it was true or not. At first, some seemed to be correct, but as he started to check more closely, some turned out to contradict what he had been told.
This raised doubts in his mind. Information given by different mediums contradicted and he came to the conclusion that at best, the spirits were guessing and at worse, deliberately lying. He also came to the conclusion that some of the information that he was provided could not possibly have been collected by natural means, that is, the mediums were not frauds.
By consulting a friend, he came to the conclusion that the spirits were trying to gain total control of him.
The same year that the book was published in the United States, Fisher, experiencing personal problems and feeling tormented by the spirits that he claimed to have angered, committed suicide.[1] Something that his publisher thought were quite incredible as Fisher was known as one who wrote against suicide in a previous book he had authored.

In one of his last communications with his editor-in-chief, Patrick Huyghe at Paraview Books, Fisher noted that the spirits were still after him for having written his final book.

My observation on this is that intuition can be fooled by entities if you try to avert what the intuition predicts..
There will probably be no answer. As was brought out, anyone that has had any length of time dealing with entities from somewhere else will eventually realize that they are liars, and have debased thoughts.

I don't do channeling, not in the way you mean it. I have percieved and interacted with entities, and went through a period of considering whether I should act as such a channel for some, for others.
I don't worry that much about the details of what they say they are. BUT I foudn myself immediately turning away from entities which did not respect or understand my spiritual equality with them. I mean, other entities not incarnate on this plane are NOT superior to us. The moment they start to express themselves as Gods in relation to us, or having power over us, then I know this entity is not trustworthy.
A lot of it is just intuition though, which is somewhat beyond my ability to explain in words. But in general, the entities that are drawn to you and that you will tend to tune into will reflect your own intents- they will be on the same wavelength. So beign really self aware of your innermost desires and intents, is essential. If you want to channel an entity because you want to seem important, or get attention from others, fill in a boring life, or avoid certain areas of your own development while here, then you will attract entities who want the same, and are doing it for the same reason.
Just my opinion.

You know, I think you may be right. I didn't think I would get so little response. I tried to present my questions in as non-confrontational manner as possible and have made every effort to not get into religion. I know there are spiritualists on this site and was hoping they would answer me. Maybe I should have asked what advice they would give to people who experienced a '___' type experience.
