Leviticus 19:31 - Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists...

NIV Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.
KJV Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
NASBDo not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 19:31

Commentary

"Mediums and familiar spirits" - Both of these may involve consulting the spirits of the dead. All contact with these or other spirits was strictly forbidden in Israel. It demonstrated lack of faith in and rebellion against God.
