All the abnormal phenomena, in the modern and mediaeval tales, occur most frequently in the presence of convulsionaries, like the so-called victims of witches, like the Hon. Master Sandilands, Lord Torphichen's son , like the grandson of William Morse in New England , and like Bovet's case of the demon of Spraiton.
