Treatise of Spirits, Apparitions, Witchcrafts

What happens when an Enlightenment-era scholar experiences 'extraordinary visitations' firsthand? John Beaumont’s 1705 treatise bridges the gap between ancient demonology and modern logic, defending the reality of spirits, guardian genii, and witchcraft against the rising tide of skepticism. Readers will discover a world where the invisible observers of the ancients are validated by the philosophical rigor of John Locke and the author's own haunting encounters.
