August 13-14, I was there again, and heard much conversation of the ghost, with several other persons in the cellar, concerning several events known only to her and them in her life time. To all their questions she gave satisfactory answers. Once while she was speaking, I saw a bright shining appearance in that part of the space from whence the voice proceeded. Her conversation and exhortation continued four hours. One of the company observed to her that we were an hardened people. “Yes,” she answered, “But the Lord will call in his elect in his own time.” I went to Capt. M’s with the company, but did not then see her at all. ABIGAIL ABBOT. * * * * * TESTIMONY XII. _Testimony of Miss Dorcas Abbot._ I can attest, as an eye and ear witness, to all that is declared under August 9th, in the last testimony. I plainly saw Capt. Butler’s hand go through the apparition. DORCAS ABBOT. * * * * * TESTIMONY XIII. _Testimony of Mr. Frederic Housoff._ I was an eye and ear witness of all the facts declared in the last testimony, and can attest particularly that I plainly saw Capt. Butler put his hand on the apparition, and saw his hand pass through it, glowing with the light of it. FREDERIC HOUSOFF. * * * * * TESTIMONY XIV. _Testimony of Mr. Joseph Blaisdel._ I was present when the important transaction took place on the night of August 9, 1800, and saw Mr. Butler’s hand pass through the body of the apparition, while he uttered the words, “Lord Jesus.” He afterwards informed me and others, that while his hand passed through the breast of the Spectre, he felt nothing. JOSEPH BLAISDEL. * * * * * TESTIMONY XV. _Testimony of Capt. Paul Blaisdel._ I have seen and discoursed with the apparition several times. In the latter part of January, 1800, I saw her in the field; first at a considerable distance from me: then she came to me, and I particularly observed that she never touched the ground. Her raiment appeared as white as possible. The next evening she reproved me in the hearing of several persons, because I had not spoken to her, and because I had spoken against her. She told me she had come on God’s errand, and that if I opposed her, I opposed him who sent her. The Spirit asked me if I lived in such a manner as I would wish to die.[45]
