It has been shown to me many times that spirits who spoke with me did not know but that they were people I had thought about, and neither did other spirits know better-for example yesterday and today, someone who was so similar to an acquaintance of mine in life in every respect, as far as I knew, that nothing could be more similar [see 2686-7]. Therefore, those who speak with spirits should beware of being deceived when they tell that they are the ones they knew, and that they had died.
