314. There are men endowed with a special faculty which makes them a glimpse of the future, and it is his Spirit who sees, because detached from the body. So there are times when God allows certain men reveal pertinent facts concerning things to come, if it is for good. (Item 289, question 12)
315. The spirits who like to predict someone's day and time when die, spirits are distasteful, they have no other purpose except to enjoy the fear they cause, but nobody should worry about it. (Item 289, question 13)
316. Unlike occurs in cases of presentiment of the time of death, because, most often, it is the Spirit's interested in coming to know this in their moments of freedom and guard when awakening, intuition than glimpsed. (Item 289, question 14)
317. None of us can be revealed about our future existences. Everything in this respect will not say some spirits of joke and it is understood: our future existence can not be determined beforehand because it will be according to prepare for our behavior on Earth and the resolutions we make when in erraticity. (Item 290, question 16)

Answers to questions
A. We can evoke the soul of an animal?
No. The success of such evocation is impossible. (The Book of Mediums, item 283.)
B. You can still evoke an embodied person?
Yes, but it is necessary that the state allow the body at the time of the Holy evocation becomes detached. The Spirit of the living can also, in their moments of freedom, present without being evoked, it depends on who has sympathy for the people with whom you communicate. (Ibid., item 284.)
C. You can ask questions about the future of the Spirits?
No, because there are huge mistake in seeking to unravel the future with the help of spirits. If man knew the future would be careless of this, there is the reason why the future is unknown. If man makes a point of absolute knowing it, it is certain that you will get such a response from a madcap Spirit, those who revel in making predictions. (Ibid., item 289.)
D. What is the kind of prediction that more should we suspect?
It should be suspect all predictions which have no end of general utility. In this sense, personal predictions can almost always be considered apocryphal. (Ibid., item 289.)
