2923. All evils, even those seeming to a person as accidental, are from evil spirits

I bumped my foot, almost to the point of stumbling and hurting myself, and I spoke with spirits, saying that they were the cause, and that this case is similar to that of unclean spirits noticing filth not seen by me, and such things being their objects even though I do not see them [2860]. So it is also with falls and other misfortunes that seem to be misfortunes, or accidents. 1748, 25 Aug.
