Necromancy is the ability to summon and control things that are dead, or other types of creatures. A sub version of this is reanimation, which differs from Necromancy, as rather than controlling ghosts, is aimed at zombies.

It's unknown who and when which early found this art. It's also unknown when humans became aware of and began to learn this ability. However, the earliest known (if not the earliest) ritual for this purpose has been known and recorded since Ancient Greek era. 

Characters with this ability

AngelaResurrected

A resurrected Angela.

  • Samhain - Samhain, the origin of Halloween, can summon ghosts, monsters, and even demons (of lesser power), to do his will. As Sam, an experienced hunter puts it, he, essentially, can eventually control everything he and Dean ever fought (as of the episode of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester").
  • Osiris - Osiris, the Egyptian god of death, could summon ghosts and cause them to do as he commands.
  • Death - When he, under the instruction of Lucifer, resurrected people, they became zombies soon after.

Necromancers

Necromancers are dark magic users, who use magic to summon and control the dead.

Note

  • The Thules practiced, experimented and attempted to perfect necromancy to the point that their subjects were not simply enslaved or summoned spirits or mindless zombies, but actual resurrected humans. It may also be possible that their practice was a misnomer, and that they were actually working on the secrets of resurrection, as opposed to necromancy. Although it should be noted they didn't come back as completely natural humans, as now they could only die if shot in the head and then had the body burned.
