2905. About truldom 1
There was a certain one who said that in the life of the body he had indeed harmed others through witchcraft or truldom, to the point of inflicting on them evil, pains, and the like, and who was practicing the same in the other life. He was told that the punishment of such people is one of retaliation. So hellish spirits drew him down to themselves and tormented him with the same practices. This was made known to me by his outcry and lamentations, saying with a bitter tone that he had sinned. 1748, 24 Aug.

{a}
Quidam, qui se dicebat in vita corporis, etiam nocuisse aliis per praestigiatrices 2
artes seu truldom, adeo ut aliis infligeret malum, dolores, et similia, in altera vita simile exercens, ei dicebatur, quod talium poena talionis est, quare spiritus infernales eum detraxerunt ad se, et similibus eum cruciabant, quod nosse mihi datum erat per clamorem ejus et lamentationes, dicendo acerba voce, quod peccaverit. 1748, 24 Aug.
