Most likely yes, although the importance of ghosts in the culture is unknown. The Hebrew Bible contains few references to ghosts, associating spiritism with forbidden occult activities (Deuteronomy 18:11). The most notable reference is in the Book of Samuel (I Samuel 28:3-19), in which a disguised King Saul has the Witch of Endor summon the spirit of Samuel.
The witch at Endor is the only witch actually mentioned in the Bible. There are other references to witches but she is the only one mentioned specifically.
