It's a bit like trying to get people into a Christian church by not mentioning God or Jesus, in case it puts people off.
Strange, I'd have thought that if a Shaman (or Christian, for that matter) was truly connected to their religion, then they'd be naturally enthused and at ease with mentioning the spirits (or God or Jesus), and know that their demeanor and way of speaking would be enough to convince anyone. No underhanded methods necessary.
Trying to get people into Shamanism, or Christian church by not mentioning the spirits or God or Jesus - is a bit like inviting someone around for tea, waiting until they're nice and relaxed and enjoying themselves: Then bolting all the doors and wheeling out some product you'd like to sell them. I know I wouldn't take to kindly to those tactics.

Absolutely!
Let us know what you decide to do about it (if anything). I would suggest that it needs sorting, for the spirit's sake as much as for yours.
I agree, it can't be nice being stuck somewhere but what if the spirit does not want to go?

How would you tell, unless you got someone in who could speak to it? However, you are making an assumption that it is 'stuck'. There's always the possibility that it is there for some other reason, or that it belongs there but is disturbing you for some other reason.
