What did the woman mean when she said that she saw a god coming up out of the earth?

1 Samuel 28:13 (ESV)

13 The king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”

The Hebrew word often translated as spirit is the same word that is elsewhere rendered as gods or God. In this context, however, it refers to a godlike/preternatural spiritual being.1
