arranged, they seem to be beyond the power of any 3 or 4 men to move, yet when the Spirits enter it sets a-going with a motion equal to that of a Single pole indifferently stuck in the Ground & violently moved by a man. I have never seen any of these double ones, but twice or thrice saw the others, whilst the conjuror was in--Some time afterwards, when they were off, I shook them with both hands & with all my strength, but the motion was nothing like that of the Conjurors. I have been told that those who enter these Double ones, are so powerful that almost all the Creation comes to see them, & they are shaken with uncommon violence. This motion the Conjurors say is produced by the concussion of the air; i.e. the Spirits come & enter with such velocity that it is the _Wind they Produce_ which occasions it. The conjuror is all the while seated Peaceably in the bottom, (on the Ground) of his hut. Some of them to shew their Power have had small sticks of the hardest wood (such as produces the wild Pear, & of which the Indians make their arrows, & ram-rods &c. for Guns) about the size of a mans finger, made as sharp point- ed as possible, & dried, when they become in consequence nearly as dangerous as iron, or bayonets--Some have 18, 24 more or less, tho' Seldom less than 18 planted in the bottom of their hut--They are about 12 or 14 ins. out of the Ground--On the Points of these Sticks is the conjuror placed, sometimes on his bottom, at others on his knees & elbows, & there he remains as quietly & composedly as if he were on "_a bed of Roses_"; & when he comes off no marks of injury appear, tho he entered naked, only his Cloute about him, & of course the Cords with which he is tied. "Their familiars (their Dreamed, or those who appear to them in their dreams & Promise them their assistance & Protection) support them so that no injury hap- pens them"!!! __________________
