1853 Daimonion Spiritual Medium Demons Ghosts OCCULT Salem Witchcraft Samson

George W Samson was a Reverend in Washington City who published many works including 'To Daimonion' in which he explains the phenomena of 'spiritual rappings' or 'spiritual knockings' through the 'nervous principle,' and animal magnetism. His attempt to explain clairvoyance, trances, second-sight, kinesis, and others comes from his thought that the 'daimonion' (the demon), is the spirit of the universe, which when excited causes these phenomena to occur.
