The Witch of Endor: Boova's question and 1 Samuel 28

• What do we do with the Witch of Endor story — was it really Samuel, and should Christians worry about mediums today?

Boova brings his Witch of Endor question: reading through 1 Samuel 28, he walks through Saul's night visit to the medium — the Lord not answering by dreams, Urim, or prophets; 'bring up Samuel for me'; the woman seeing 'a god coming up out of the earth' — and asks whether this really happened, whether mediums operate today, and what it implies about the afterlife.
