Oh geez, that sounds really creepy...they might not be an entirely bad person or anything, but it sounds like a pretty scary situation. Especially if someone they liked died because of something like that...I don't know. If that's the case, telling them you can't talk to them until you figure things out was a good idea on your part. It sounds like they need to figure a lot out, themselves, since, you know, being possessive isn't exactly giving them any points either.
