i,ve always wondered when i was younger if i was imagining it or if it was real but older i get i,m convinced it was real.i stayd in a normal house in scotland but for coming home from school when entering the house i heard angry spirits and banging if someone was upset. scared the crap out me,also used to come to top of stairs in house and it was like if someone told me to jump and i floated downstairs,sounds crazy but i know something happened in that house.i,ve cut this story well short cause it would take a book to explain it but just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience?

You have to factor in how various countries report missing people or if they even bother to look. A person over 18 has no obligation to remain in contact or report on their whereabouts with any regularity. It is easy to say this person is not in a database somewhere so they are "missing" but just dont want to be located for one reason or another. People can change their names, false id's etc.

Wrong thread.

How do you know that this 'spirit' was not a demon?
