'Tis very probable, that visions, enchantments, and all extraordinary effects of that nature, derive their credit principally from the power of imagination, working and making its chiefest impression upon vulgar & more easy souls, whose belief is so strangely imposed upon, as to think they see what they do not see.'
Michel de Montaigne, Essays: Book 1
