1753. Similar visions occur also among spirits, and I can testify on the basis of much experience that they can be brought upon spirits from man's imagination. I can portray to them buildings, small gardens, and lovely places, such as meadows and the like, and unless the reflection is given to them at the time that these are only pictures induced by others, the spirits cannot at all tell but that they are real, as they themselves have openly admitted.
