a role that allows you to speak to dead players. every night, this player gets to choose to ask one dead player a yes or no question. they could be a option other than psychic/spy, or one survivor could secretly be a whisperer, but the evil recieves a notification at night saying the whisperer is listening, or they could just be neutral.
i also just thought of another way the role could work. lets say the detective was killed earlier in the game. if the good team is losing and theres a low amount of players left (like 5 or 6), theres a 50% chance good player becomes the whisperer via the detective’s determination as the leader. they get a notification as soon as the light go off saying “The Detective’s soul has chosen you as their vessel. You are now the Whisperer.” they now have a dead chat, but only see what the detective says.

you certainly aren’t the first person to suggest this. anyway, this has already been rejected because a medium role is pretty useless, 90% of the time there won’t be any new or relevant information
