Cursing Spirits with Satan behind
A Japanese psychic woman who had qualification of a Buddhist nun wrote decades ago that spiritual curse could often occur to a sympathetic man/woman with a fine spirit who was a descendant of the cursing spirit. This is a conclusion of years of her consultation for and interviews with many people suffering diseases.
As the cursing spirit of a dead man wants to be worshipped by his/her descendant with a fine spirit, it haunts such a descendant. It means that a spirit in the spirit world wants to go into a higher level. But, the spirit should be purified to get into a higher level. For this purpose, worship by a living sympathetic man/woman is needed. To get attention of such a man/woman, the spirit of a dead man haunts such a person. As a result, the haunted person might get sick or encounter a mysterious accident. When a disease occurs due to this reason, a ceremony of purification is necessary, since no medication is effective in this case.
In this world, a poor man can be rich to ascend the social structure. But, to ascend in the spirit world, a spirit should be more purified; yet, it is very difficult for a spirit to be purified in the spirit world. Therefore, it needs help from a living person who would worship or pray for it. So, it haunts its descendant or relative who has sympathetic mind with a fine spirit. In this case, the psychic woman advised such a sick person to clean a tomb of a possibly cursing ancestor and worship or pray for the ancestor. And, this purification of a dead person was sometimes performed by the psychic woman for her clients according to the Japanese Buddhism or shintoism.
But, when a wondering spirit cannot find an appropriate person, it sometimes haunts an animal or even a plant or stone. Therefore, a man living with such an animal, plant, stone, etc. might get sick due to a wondering and cursing spirt. In that case the psychic woman advised such a sick person to remove such an animal, thing, etc. from around the person or its home. She could see a shape of wondering or cursing spirit even in a stone, a plant, or goods.
This theory that a soul of a dead man wants to ascend higher in the spirit world, so that it needs worship or prayer for him by living sympathetic persons with fine spirits seems to be reasonable and universal. Every tribe, race, and people in the world is accustomed to worship or pray for their ancestors regardless of difference in religions.
Yet, Christ Jesus said of a dead man: "And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead (Matthew 8)."
So, as long as men follow Christ Jesus, no curse of dead men should fall on living men. Therefore, Christian priests should be exempted from curses of dead men. So, they should be even able to perform exorcism.
Anyway, it is not right for the soul of a dead man haunts a living man for any reasons. There must be an influence of Satan who wants to make persons suffer for any reasons. Satan must have influential power not only in this world but also in the spirit world. But, psychics who find influence of souls of dead men in a sick person should more study spiritualism and practice ascetism. They should see Satan behind cursing spirits on sick persons.
Therefore, as Christ Jesus could defeat Satan, He could cure sick persons under influence of Satan. In other word, if we have enough faith, we can be exempted from every disease behind which there is Satan. This must be underlying theory of faith or psychic healing.
Conversely, without faith in the God, men can be easily victimized by cursing spirits with Satan behind even in the form of a disease.

Luke 9, King James Version
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
