3063. The reason why spirits are carried on high, and downwards
Sometimes spirits are carried on high, and then instantaneously down deep, which surprised them. The reason, which I have just heard, is only a changing of the societies that are attached to them through the fantasies of others, and as soon as these withdraw, [the spirits] fall back into the former society. The fantasy of one spirit together with his companions sometimes drives another forcibly on high or down deep, yet this is only an appearance; but when their fantasy is attached to the other, then there is a transfer according to the fantasy. 1748, 5 Sept.
