1251. These also do not terrify as much as the robbers of that desert space, spoken of before [761], but in their fantasies they almost take the life away from those they meet. To me it felt as if they were taking away my inward vital breathing so that had I not known better I could almost have been brought to believe they could take away my life. Spirits still living these fantasies hardly believe otherwise, that is, than that they are undergoing the agony of death. 1748, 9 March.
