ill look it up, lemme check what my bible(s) say..
i have KJV, NKJV, and ESV.. ill let you know tommorow prolly.
as mortals, we do not know where the location of hell or heaven is, or if they are chained to a location at all, these places are spiritual places and have nothing to do with the physical realm
all we know is that God resides in heaven and demons were sent somewhere (most likely earth, as Jesus encountered several hosts of them during his stay here)
now, the fact that people were possessed by demons is absolutely true, this can only occur to unbelievers because Jesus lives within them
Now, Jesus takes that home in the believer and occupies it 100% completely, and even if he didn't I dont know why a demon would want to be breakin into Jesus' home - he'd get bitchslapped so fast
As for mortals who have died and joined the spiritual realm, it is impossible for them to have continued connection with the physical and living realm
because they do not have the power to do so
those that say that they had a connection from a dead relative or someone they knew have either received information from a demon who received information from that relative
it is a very scary thing to know that demons can watch us and our every move, but not because they can harm us (for God does not allow them to), but because they know us so well
the bible only tells us that 1/3 of the host of heaven fell down with satan, and nobody knows how large the host of heaven is, but as it says in that one passage in the bible, a legion of demons possessed one man
I mean, only one man!!! as opposed to a legion!!! a legion is 1,000!!!! imagine the ratio for demons to humans... there are currently around 6 billion humans alive on this planet..
