  Fits, trances, visions, clairvoyance, and possession. Believers have viewed these experiences as religious - as manifestations of God, or the Christ within. This book explores the myriad ways in which believers and detractors interpreted these experiences in Anglo-American culture between the mid-eighteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
