Excellent.

" If a witness said that he dreamed of a neighbor engaging in witchcraft, Stoughton’s court admitted that as evidence against the neighbor.

Not everyone in 17th-century Massachusetts thought this was a good idea. Cotton Mather, the colony’s leading theologian, thought spectral evidence was useful but insufficient. Cotton Mather’s father, Increase Mather, the president of Harvard, thought spectral evidence was untrustworthy as it might have been planted by demons. It took the royal governor, William Phips, to outlaw spectral evidence altogether in legal proceedings."
