There are spirits who trust in their own powers, who are sometimes permitted to bring on different kinds of terror, and in fact, so great that no one would believe it possible that such terror could be induced. Specifically, they are permitted to portray an arm, one that appears bare, in various positions, depending on the type [of terror to be induced]. An arm like this has the effect of causing a soul or spirit such a fright that, as some admitted who had not experienced any terror in their lives, they had such a fright as could never be expressed. Once I was also shown that arm and was struck with fright for some time, for it appeared as if able to crush the bones and marrows, and surely if permitted, it would have done so. This is really incredible, coming from the world of spirits, and yet it is true, for the fantasy of spirits has this effect. Terrors of this kind come from self-confident spirits who think there is nothing they cannot do. But because these matters are unbelievable, they must be presented wisely, lest people think they are being told fairy tales or silly stories.
