753. On that boundary, a spirit almost snowy white appeared to me, and an angel also, almost shining. And as another spirit was coming up, the spirit standing there welcomed with outstretched arms the one approaching, who, bowing himself to the earth, passed under his feet. Then, having quickly turned around, being on his back or with his body downward and face upward, he was driven under his feet and then thrown forward on high, and so he fled away. This they call admission towards the city. So they are not harmed, because they say that [the spirit] is obliged to admit them.
