The answer to that question is NO. How do I know this? Well, when I was a practicing witch and medium (and ghost hunter) I had FIVE spirit guides. One of those spirit beings claimed to be the Archangel Michael.
This particular spirit being claimed to have been protecting me since childhood. He was the one who would "guard" me when dealing with "negative inhuman spirits" during ghost hunts.
Not long after meeting "Michael" I was on an investigation at a historic site which involved an old iron bridge. We had crossed the bridge when I "sensed" an evil entity following us across the bridge. I stood there telling this spirit being it couldn't leave it's side of the bridge.
Throughout the encounter, I felt what might be described as a wall of energy in front of me. I believed it was "Michael", proving his promise to protect me. When the danger seemed to have past, the leader of our team called me over. He had a picture on the screen of his digital camera with me standing there on the end of the bridge. In front of me was what is called an "orb" (essentially a sphere of condensed light caught on film or digital pictures believed to be a "spirit being".)
"That's my spirit guide, the Archangel Michael", I declared with confidence.
