1206. Souls take off their clothes and make themselves naked when they consider themselves innocent

A certain spirit was being attacked by spirits of the urine, who like to attack everyone and anxiously look for a fault. Then on mere suspicion due to the company he is in, or some action in his present life, they at once judge and prejudge him, hoping to punish him by their own methods. This is the first judgment [see 1209]. But when the soul considers himself to be innocent, he becomes angry, and he takes off his clothes even to complete nakedness, so they may do to him whatever they like. 1748, 7 March.
