I could give an Account of another Person, whom the Devil haunted frequently, and that for many Years together, with lewd Apparitions; tempting him in his Sleep with the Company of beautiful Women, sometimes naked, sometimes even in Bed with him; and at other times in Conversation prompting him to Wickedness, and that sometimes he was prevail’d upon to consent; but always happily prevented by waking in time...

Daniel Defoe (1660?–1731)

from An Essay on the History and Reality of Apparitions (1727)
