Spirit Rappings Mesmerism Clai PDF Download

Excerpt from The Spirit Rappings, Mesmerism, Clairvoyance, and Psychometry, or the Life and Times of Old Billy M'connell, the Witch Doctor: The Great Prototype of the Modern Professors of the Imaginative Sciences Billy's habits were rather temperate, though, in accord ance with the custom of the times, he could take a good dram. He was also a great smoker; and smoking, it is known, imparts shrewdness, and adds dignity to human bipeds. The district of country in which Billy located himself, had always been sadly infested with ghosts, and witches, and evil spirits innumerable. People could scarcely leave their houses, after nightfall, without some demon rising up in hideous or fantastic shape, to obstruct their pathway. That there existed a superabundance of witches, was evident, from the amount of mischief done, among men and cattle, by unseen agencies.
