Parallel World by Božidar D. Benedict -Krakatau volcano

A book that explains in a very provocative way the possibility of the existence of two parallel dimensions. These material and the other, purely spiritual.It is the book Parallel World by Božidar D. Benedict, a writer of entertainment and science fiction.

I was especially interested in the story of the eruption of the Krakatau volcano.

Edward Sampson worked for the Boston Globe as an assistant editor.

In August 1883, the young single man relaxed a little too much with the company from the editorial office,

so they all parted late from the bar, which was located on the ground floor of the building. Feeling

unable to go to his humble apartment alone, Edward Sampson climbed up

back to his office and stretched out on an old leather bed. He fell asleep,

but about three, before dawn, he awoke abruptly, all sweaty, frightened, and quite sober!

What happened to him?

The young editor fell asleep, as if he were on an exotic island

near Java, which suddenly exploded in a terrible volcanic eruption.

The force of the explosion blew up the island and soon completely submerged it and leveled it with

sea ​​surface.The screams of distraught people, children and women fleeing to the sea to avoid the glowing echoed in Sampson's ears for a long time.

boulders of lava, which rolled mercilessly towards the shores of the island. But there

sea ​​water was waiting for them, from the great temperature! Scenes that is

so clearly and strikingly seen, they were awful. The people were either burning alive in the heat

lava or jumped into boiling water!

After regaining his composure and coming to his senses, Sampson took off his sweat

wet T-shirt and shirt and washed with cold water. Only then did he sit down for his own

desk and on a blank sheet of paper wrote in capital letters: ISLAND OF PRALAPE

SUBMERGED !, and described in detail in the reporting dictionary everything in

dream that night saw.

Over those few sheets, he put one on which it was

wrote in red pencil: IMPORTANT! Then he is, tired from last night

banqueting and later a nightmare, went to his apartment to sleep.

The editor-in-chief, who arrived at about eight o'clock, immediately noticed Sampson's message, read the contents in astonishment, and immediately prepared the front page.

for the afternoon edition. He indicated the catastrophe in big letters on everyone

eight columns. Like the other collaborators, he naturally thought it was Sampson

during his nocturnal stay in the office, he probably received an overseas

telegram of the accident. The news of the cataclysm was spread by all other important American newsrooms, so the same evening the event was talked about on all sides.

When Sampson saw a big headline in his paper that afternoon, from

in horror his hair rose on his head! Almost out of breath, he ran to his office

and explained to the astonished officials how he had obtained the "information."

He left the message "important" because of the morning cleaning lady, so that the notes wouldn't come to him

threw in the trash! The editor-in-chief sat down and grabbed his head. What to do now?

Almost all major newsrooms reprinted Globe's report, telephones

they keep ringing, even some people from the Government were interested in the accident! It is finally

in the evening, the famous agency "Associated Press" called, inquiring about

The "source" of their information, because they have no knowledge of the cataclysm!

The board of directors of "Globe" was urgently convened and a decision was made, yes

the irresponsible young editor is fired immediately and without pay!

For three days, the Boston "Globe" was silent and thought of a way to apologize.

to his loyal readers and to explain to others what he was really talking about

works. If they tell the world the real truth, everyone will laugh and mock them in public, and they will

it also means the loss of thousands of valuable readers. And when they are on the fourth day

finally put together an "apology" for the front page, the Associated Press editor called them again. He begged them to reveal their "sources" to him, because they were there

a terrible catastrophe seems to have really happened in the Pacific!

Agencies from California

report, that 3 huge waves are an obvious consequence of some kind of cataclysm,

it simply wiped out coastal houses and overturned hundreds of boats and smaller ones

ships! Agencies from Australia and Japan also reported similar waves!

Also, many seismologists around the world have recorded strong ground movements,

with the epicenter near the island of Java! So what is it about? He is a confused editor

promised to call them later. He hung up and thought deeply. Whether

is it all possible after all? The board of directors of "Globe" was convened again, at whose

It was concluded at the session that the prepared "apology" should be thrown in the basket for now and wait

developments.

Finally arrived the first ships from the area, which are

confirmed that the island of Krakatau disappeared in a volcanic eruption, with all its population and settlements! From the former island, only a volcanic one could be seen

fire, and soon it too was lost beneath the restless scorching surface of the Pacific.

Edward Sampson was invited to return immediately to the newsroom, where he was taken

uneasily apologized and offered to continue writing about this terrible event,

but now also on the basis of already received reports from excited sailors. Editorial office

has finally decided to explain to astonished readers the "how" it came to

notices. Probably everyone believed them, except the Associated Press

continued to be angry at them! Neither to them, nor to many others simply

it did not occur to him "how" Sampsom could see such things in a dream, and that

still exactly at the time they happened? It has been proven to be up to eruption

came exactly at the time of his dream, August 29, 1883. It also remained

unexplained, why in a dream he thought it was the island of Pralapa, when neither in

old Boston maps have not a word about such an island anywhere in the world!

And that oddity will be clarified, but many years later. Edward

Sampson was already very old and half-blind from the years when he was suddenly

he of the Dutch Royal Society received an interesting shipment. Get inside

found one, 150-year-old nautical chart, on which it had disappeared

the island of Krakatau was marked by its real, old name - Pralape.

This is, in fact, the most important detail of Sampson's dream! And parapsychologists,

and very serious psychologists, who study the phenomena of divination

through dreams, opinions are that he "projected" terrible news to the young editor

some deceased inhabitant of that island, who was still called Pralape during his lifetime,

therefore, someone who did not know that the island was renamed Krakatau! Sounds fantastic, doesn't it? Unfortunately, not even the most responsible scientists have, for now,

A "smarter" explanation of such phenomena.
