Having seen them many many times and based on my own experiences, that's about exactly what they look like; only they normally are not very active in their physical movements (indeed ordinarily tend to be stiff in their motions); nor visually so colorful (as some of those depicted here are, not to mention garishly costumed.)

More from our ongoing. Now as you can see with this method you can easily break rules and get away with it, momentarily change other people's behavior, or modify the appearance of things to suit your needs. However, it is completely wrong to ascribe any such doing to a "witch;" in that sense there is no such thing; rather, it is a criminal spirit person, of a professional kind, that supplies the "magic," or more correctly, preternatural technology. (Just for the record.)

Makes a Great Figure-head

In my considered opinion, it was the intention of Mysterion to make Spielberg + Star Wars into something very like neo-Hollywood's version of Kim Il Jong/Kim Jong-un; however in the case of neo-Hollywood, with rather indifferent success. Remember also that the Spielbergs and Jongs are actually or at bottom good people of a sort (not so unlike the typical monarchs of Spain in the imperial heyday of that country), and yet (let's put it this way) not the most informed or brightest of intelligences.

[ch. 30]
What most frequently meets our view (and occasions complaint), is our teeming population: our numbers are burdensome to the world, which can hardly supply us from its natural elements; our wants grow more and more keen, and our complaints more bitter in all mouths, while Nature fails in affording us her usual sustenance. In very deed, pestilence, and famine, and wars, and earthquakes have to be regarded as a remedy for nations, as the means of pruning the luxuriance of the human race; and yet, when the hatchet has once felled large masses of men, the world has hitherto never once been alarmed at the sight of a restitution of its dead coming back to life after their millennial exile.

It's not right for him to hate or roundly blame someone under the spell of mind control, behavioral conditioning, mesmerism, or hypnotism. (Or is it?) Moreover, though he assumes himself above being taken in, if you ask how it is possible he cannot be fooled as well, he is completely silent and can give little or no plausible explanation for this.

[ch. 22]
Hermogenes has already heard from us what are the other natural faculties of the soul, as well as their vindication and proof; whence it may be seen that the soul is rather the offspring of God than of matter.

...I am sorry from my heart that Plato has been the caterer to all these heretics. For in the Phaedo he imagines that souls wander from this world to that, and thence back again hither; while in the Timaeus he supposes that the children of God, to whom had been assigned the production of mortal creatures, having taken for the soul the germ of immortality, congealed around it a mortal body—thereby indicating that this world is the figure of some other. Now, to procure belief in all this— that the soul had formerly lived with God in the heavens above, sharing His ideas with Him, and afterwards came down to live with us on earth, and while here recollects the eternal patterns of things which it had learned before— he elaborated his new formula...which means that “learning is reminiscence;” implying that the souls which come to us from thence forget the things among which they formerly lived, but that they afterwards recall them, instructed by the objects they see around them. Forasmuch, therefore, as the doctrines which the heretics borrow from Plato are cunningly defended by this kind of argument, I shall sufficiently refute the heretics if I overthrow the argument of Plato.

Looking for a GREAT horror film that (perhaps) you haven't seen? Then I highly recommend "Castle of Terror" (1964, originally titled: "Castle of Blood"); for me the best Italian horror film I ever watched (and that I saw for the first time this past weekend.) It stars Barbara Steele, and while certain edited and small changes could have made this into an actual masterpiece, still it is an otherwise outstanding and noteworthy film, particularly thanks to a brilliant script and plot worthy of Le Fanu.

[ch. 20]
...In like manner, the soul may well be uniform in its seminal origin, although multiform by the process of nativity. And here local influences, too, must be taken into account...

...However great, too, at present is the variety of men's maunders, it was not so in Adam, the founder of their race. But all these discordances ought to have existed in him as the fountainhead, and thence to have descended to us in an unimpaired variety, if the variety had been due to nature.
