The work delves into the phenomena of ghostly apparitions, spirits, and various omens, aiming to provide a clear understanding of these subjects from a religious perspective. The author seeks to educate readers about the nature of spirits, countering superstitions and misconceptions prevalent in society at the time, particularly among the populace influenced by the teachings of the Church.  The opening of this treatise introduces Lavater's intent to address the public's fascination and fear surrounding spirits and supernatural occurrences. He outlines the main themes, which include the nature of sightings and apparitions, the misconceptions held by both the ignorant and the learned regarding these phenomena, and the importance of grounding one’s understanding in scripture and reason. Lavater promises to explore the role of spirits in human experience, asserting that many supposed encounters are derived from imagination or fear rather than true supernatural manifestations. In doing so, he aims to clarify the confusion and superstition that has led people to misinterpret natural events as ghostly phenomena.
