A person who can talk to the dead, or who can transmit messages from the dead, is often called a
medium.
As for physical appearance,
size
is an attribute of that, and
"small"
is one possible value.
The term
"at large"
describes a state of freedom, as opposed to a state of incarceration.
Sorted by their (inter-related) other meanings, those three parts produce the four-word phrase:
"small medium at large".
(From the joke, presumably.)

I think it may be
The Grim Reaper
One of us describes my ability to call the dead
Reaper has that meaning.
Another describes my physical appearance
Grim means dreadful, horrific.
And the other one describes my state of freedom
This is hard to explain, but the article "the" suggests that there exists only one Grim Reaper and it's not bound to anything/anyone (it is not my Grim Reaper, it is not your Grim Reaper, it is not his Grim Reaper, it is the Grim Reaper!)

$\begingroup$ @justhalf I really have no idea why they do this, but I'm sure that I have some haters in Puzzling (they downvote my posts everyday, for no reason). Anyway, I'm glad that you appreciate my attempt :-) $\endgroup$– leoll2May 7, 2015 at 7:17
