FWIW, I don't think any of them are talking to dead people. On the other hand, I don't think all of them are frauds, either, although some surely are. (Or crazy, for that matter.) I think at least some of them are inadvertently communicating with nonhuman discarnate entities of some sort, mischief-makers and/or entities who yearn to be a part of the material world. Somehow I don't think you'll find that an appealing alternative interpretation...
