The world turn'd upside down, or, A plain detection of errors, in the common or vulgar belief, relating to spirits, spectres or ghosts, dæmons, witches, &c. : in a due and serious examination of their nature, power, administration, and operation : in what forms or shape incorporeal spirits appear to men, by what means, and of what elements they take to themselves, and form appearances of bodies, visible to mortal eyes, why they appear, and what frights and force of imagination often delude us into the apprehensions of supposed phantasms, through the intimidation of the mind, &c. : also what evil tongues have power to produce of hurt to mankind, or irational creatures, and the effects men and women are able to produce by their communication with good or evil spirits, &c. /
