For a few minutes, the Scottish biologist and his wife found themselves on the streets of Paris in the Middle Ages. At the same time, before that they were on the road in the wastelands of Haiti. This strange vision did not last long and they never figured out what it was
Scottish biologist Ivan Santerson (1911-1973) one of the most famous English-speaking cryptozoologists.
Most often he is called one of the founding fathers of cryptozoology, because in many cases he was the first person to investigate certain sea or lake monsters, yeti, sasquatch or other cryptids.
Sanderson was also one of the first explorers to study strange plane disappearances in anomalous zones and space-time faults there. Sanderson really was a real giant of his business and left behind many books and articles.
Once he himself experienced something very strange, which modern researchers consider a temporary "transition" into another reality or a journey into the past. He described this incident in his book More Things in a chapter titled "Weird Hallucinations?"
It happened when he was younger and lived with his wife in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He did biological work there. And their housekeeper was a woman who considered herself a practicing voodoo witch.
Voodoo and Haiti are so closely related that it seems that every inhabitant of Haiti knows or is a voodoo sorcerer. Either way, this woman regularly made very accurate predictions about the actions of Sanderson and his wife. She predicted the exact time when they would come to dinner or when they would be busy with work.
One day, Sanderson and his wife went to work in a place called Lake Azui, where they had to collect some samples of local animals. On the way from there, their car got stuck in the mud and they had to walk home. Sanderson, his wife and their assistant, Frederick Ollson, walked a long way along the deserted wasteland. It was already evening:
“Suddenly, looking up from the dusty ground, I clearly saw in the bright light of the moon three-story houses of various shapes and sizes. They stood on both sides of the road and hung over the days. And the road itself suddenly turned from muddy dirt to cobblestone.
The houses reminded me of Elizabethan England, but for some reason I knew this street was actually in Paris! They had curved roofs, pediments, wooden porticoes with several dormers and small glass panes.
In some places behind the houses, reddish lights burned dimly, as if from candles. Overhead lanterns in an iron frame hung from the houses and they all swayed as if in the wind, but I did not feel the slightest breath.
I wondered at this, looked around, and then bumped into my wife. She asked, "How did we get to Paris 500 years ago?" We stood with her, surprised by what we saw and various details, asking each other about this or that subject on the houses.
Somewhere ahead, Frederick's white shirt flashed across and we tried to run to him, but immediately felt dizzy and sat down on a high rough pedestal. Frederic ran to us and asked what happened to us, but we did not know what to say to him.
Frederic pulled out a lighter and invited us to light a cigarette, and then again there were only cacti and bare earth around us. Frederic didn't even notice anything that my wife and I saw."
Rural wastelands of Haiti
This incident greatly worried Sanderson. He could not understand what had happened to him. Was it some kind of double vision-hallucination, or did he and his wife slip into another reality for a while? The fact is that in those years he was still working as just a biologist and was not fond of paranormal phenomena.
When he got home, he decided to ask the housekeeper about what had happened to him. Maybe she knows what sorcerous powers "worked" there. But for some reason she didn’t tell him anything. Later, however, he was approached by a girl who worked as a housekeeper's assistant. And she said incomprehensible words:
"You've seen strange things, have you? You didn't believe it, but you can always see these things if you want to. We know that, we watched you. Even though you are foreigners, we feel that you are good people."
Sanderson refused to believe in this "miracle" anyway. In the course of his work, he visited many lost corners of the earth and was used to always being pragmatic. He was looking for material things, not chasing mysticism and ghosts. However, what he and his wife saw then in Haiti, deeply engraved in his memory.
Why Paris? Could this be due to the fact that Haiti was under French rule for many years? But what exactly could have caused such a temporary anomaly?

Legendary Dinosaurs Look Very Different From What We Used To Think
Famous monsters like Tyrannosaurs and Velociraptors, most likely, are not like the monsters in our imagination and certainly behaved differently. Many of us, as children, and I speak for myself absolutely sincerely, had a difficult period of love for dinosaurs. And now it turns out that much of what I knew was not true. It turns out that the modern scientific view of these things bypasses the popular image of dinosaurs one step. Before the "dinosaur revival" of the late 60s, dinosaurs
Very Similar Artifacts From Different Cultures. Is It An Accidental Resemblance Or Something More?
Have you ever wondered why there are so many similarities between ancient cultures around the world? At the same time, scientists believe that the cultures of Africa, America, Europe and Asia were not interconnected in ancient times. [advert] Despite these claims, numerous archaeological finds suggest otherwise. Take, for example, ancient artifacts scattered around the globe.

Since ancient times, people who believed in Gods and Buddhas have sought to go to heaven. For some Buddhist monks, the soul ascended to Heaven during meditation. Such was Xu Yun, the famous teacher of the Ch'an Buddhist school, who witnessed the fall of the Qing dynasty, the overthrow of the Republic of China and the rise to power of the Chinese Communist Party.
