2914. Through my gazes, spirits were found, and affected

This was a common occurrence all the time, that spirits were being discovered. And when they were moved to speaking, to controlling things, to retorting, and anything else, it was done by means of a look, and these gazes were directed toward them in a remarkable manner, and they were found, one by one, at times as if by rays. The searching looks separated them, and affected them in a great variety of ways depending on the circumstance. Therefore the distinct kinds of looks, and their directions, cannot be described here because of the abundance of differences. 1748, 25 Aug.
