Why do some spirits refuse to communicate with the living?

James Van Praagh (Medium, Author) gives expert video advice on: What were the first signs of your psychic abilities?; How did you discover your psychic talent?; What's it like to communicate with the dead? and more...

Some types of spirit, many times they don't want to come close because they have a memory of the death condition and they don't want to experience that again. It's not real but it's a memory, and they think it's real but it's not. They have that feeling again so they don't want to get too close. I pick up many times death conditions. I will get bullet holes in my head or I will get heart stuff, cancer stuff or whatever it is, hit by a bus, whatever it is. When that spirit comes back to this world, they will pick up that stuff and the medium feels it. Yes, it does fade. It fades. People ask me all the time about this stuff, the fading. It's interesting. I often use the analogy of school. Like remember high school. What were you doing the last day of high school? The further you are away from it, the less you remember. That's the way it is and the same thing with that in spirit.
