My great aunt's older sister also had "the power" or "gift" of communicating with the deceased. She used a trumpet somehow to do this. I searched for information on this and came up with the following from the Bible: 1 Cor. 15: 51 – 52
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (KJV: King James Version)
Anyway, the one story Aunt Vi told, and Ivah, her longtime companion corroborated, goes like this: Aunt Hazel started blowing a trumpet to summon a spirit and one came, took over the trumpet, they locked spirit and trumpet in closet and the trumpet slammed full force against the closet walls before it finally left. I never asked more about all that Aunt Hazel did. She died a few years before I was born.
Hazel's daughter had no interest in, nor apparent gift of ESP. Her daughter has an interest, but no gift. (Update! Her daughter, my cousin, has informed that both she and her mother "worked the table") She did however, retrieve the card table that was used in Aunt Vi's many spirit callings. Perhaps one day that table will rise again. Aunt Vi and Aunt Hazel and Uncle Arthur (their brother) used to sit at a solid wood, ten person table and raise it straight up. (I don't know if it was just the 3 of them. I think Uncle Arthur was just along for the ride, like Ivah was.)
Their father, my great-grandfather, built a small two bedroom (I would consider it a one bedroom) house and that is where most of the "wild" spirit stories seemed to happen. (The house still stands, over 100 years old) My 2nd cousin once lived there with her husband and two young boys. The boys and I often played together. We grew up around all Aunt Vi's events but hadn't heard about the nasty spirits yet. I spent, well, was going to spend the night once and at the rear of the bedroom was an "off limits" area, though we kids didn't know why. It had no door, just a long cloth covering the entrance. The oldest boy and I decided to peek and, well...to be continued.

I was struck by how the writer of this article couldn't get what he wanted
from his headline: "Disabled People Used Access-A-Ride To Get To Casinos."
To me...
