bilocation
Two places simultaneously
Bilocation is the supposed phenomenon of being in two places at once.
The term appears mainly in religious and paranormal contexts—saints allegedly seen simultaneously in distant locations, or claims of astral projection.
The monk was said to have the gift of bilocation, appearing to parishioners while confined to his cell.
