Here's an anecdote about how a restless spirit was charmed into the shape of a fly and read into a bottle by 12 parsons standing in a circle.  Note how the parsons made a mistake when they threw the bottled ghost down a well: they committed it to lie for a hundred years, forgetting to specify "a hundred years and odd," thereby allowing the ghost the escape in due time.  From Chambers's Journal, 1866.

"That cold-blooded demon which we call Science is killing romance from amongst us.  Years ago everybody believed in the wonders of the invisible world, and ghosts were among the regular inhabitants of every rural district.  Now, we are so seldom suffered to see or hear of a ghost, that a visitation has the effect of novelty."  From Chambers's Journal, 1889.
