The apparitions were the special appearances that were called forth by the three witches in Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth'. The first was a crowned child that warned Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] against Macduff. The second was a bloody child that warned Macbeth of his powerlessness against the man not born of woman. The third was a crowned child who held a tree in his hand and who warned Macbeth of failure once Birnam Wood moved to Dunsinane Castle. Additionally, the witches called forth a final apparition. This apparition wasn't of a child. Instead, it was of Banquo's ghost following a long line of kings. The royal line was made even longer by a mirror that showed an even longer line of kings.
