2122. When these groups had ganged up in this way, a troop of spirits, quite a large one, was then heard, and indeed, approaching from the front quarter, a little to the right, near the right temple-the region between the right eye and the right ear, but from above. It was a tumult that was heard, coming as if in waves, with a loud sound. When this troop was heard, and on their arrival, it was as if the spirits were thrown into disarray, some dispersing hither, some thither. And because of the turmoil, the upsetting and breaking up of the societies of spirits thus ganging together, it appeared to them no differently than as if the last judgment were at hand, and that they would perish en masse. Some were weeping, some were distressed. It was granted to me, however, not to be afraid, also for the reason that this had happened near me once or twice before [243, 1316-32], when they also thought the last judgment was about to come. I heard the sound of this troop of spirits in waves. A spirit told me that he heard it as the sound of horses, but the sound was heard differently by one that by another, depending on the degree of fear. To me it was a constant murmuring sound, coming in distinct waves one after the other, and to be sure, one of many spirits at the same time.
