3117. (THAT SPIRITS IN THE OTHER LIFE ARE NOT ONLY BEHELD IN FIXED [certis] PLACES, BUT THEIR BODIES IN A FIXED POSITION. Certain [spirits] appeared in their places, standing up, who have told me further, that they walked [could walk] and indeed with body erect. Some [appeared] as within the body, with their head down, and back of their shoulders up. Some [appeared] sitting, upon a throne [solis]. Some also [appeared] sitting but not on conspicuous seats [conspicue]. Some [appeared] otherwise: as comes from various causes. Sometimes certain [spirits] appeared, to lie stretched out, and so forth. - 1748, September 10.)
