1) Entertainment Industry's Influence
2) Apparitions to appeal to the senses
"They must understand the state of the dead; for the spirits of devils will yet appear to them, professing to be beloved
friends and relatives, who will declare to them that the Sabbath has been changed, also other unscriptural doctrines.
They will do all in their power to excite sympathy and will work miracles before them to confirm what they declare. The people of God must be prepared to withstand these spirits with the Bible truth that the dead know not anything, and that they who appear to them are the spirits of devils."
Early Writings p.87 E.G.W.
