Bilocation is the existence
or the ability to exist simultaneously in two
places.
The appearance of
a person in two distant places at once. The
double may appear in solid or ghostly form, and
usually acts strangely or mechanically and does
not respond when spoken to. It can also be an
object existing in two places at the same time.
Bilocation is said to have been practiced by
many mystics, monks and other holy figures
through the ages, including famous Christian
saints.
Several Indian
gurus have been reported at several locations
at the same time in waking state, or seen
sleeping somewhere while awake and active at
another location. Some texts also depict a
phenomenon where more than one copy of the
subject could be seen.
A pioneer
psychical researcher, Frederic W. H. Myers, one
of the founders of the Society for Psychical
Research in England, along with others
collected and studied reports of bilocation,
however the phenomenon has received little
interest in modern times.
