Abstract: Extra-dimensional travel remains one of the most debated issues in the annals of “Mad” Science, despite the vast body of evidence supporting the existence of so-called Dreamlands (1) and Parallel Worlds (2) (Richards, 1993). While many researcher have put forth well respected theories on such phenomena as Irrational Geography (3) and the Barsoom Conundrum (4), the majority of Mad Scientific thought has traditionally maintained that extra-dimensional travel is a phenomena that may occur regardless of mental and/or physical qualities specific to the individual traveler (West, 1978). However, other researchers have offered compelling evidence to contrary (Tillinghast & McMichaels, 1986). Modern researchers as far back as the great Thomas Carnaki and John Silence have asserted that a peculiar attunement of the senses is necessary for the perception of and interaction with extra-dimensional phenomena (Praetorius, 1984). However, this seems counter-intuitive when contrasted with such widely recorded extra-dimensional cross-rips as the Gozer Event of 1984 (Spengler, Stantz, & Venkman, 1986). So, how do we reconcile these two bodies of research? How can extra-dimensional travel be simultaneously dependant and independent of specific qualities of the individual traveler? It is the contention of this article that the answer may be found in the linkage between extra-dimensional phenomena and the Blood of Amber (5), and the widely reported Gateway Effect (6).

 

(1)     The Dreamlands are apparent alternate or parallel worlds (2) with physical characteristics that appear to respond directly to the application of human will.

(2)     Parallel Worlds are extra-dimensional worlds where physical laws appear to function more or less as they do in our world, though often with notable exceptions.

(3)     Irrational Geography is a term coined by Dr. Lemuel Gulliver in 1718, describing geographic locations that appear to be partially or entirely extra-dimensional in nature. Such locations may be reachable through entirely mundane means for a given length of time, only to move once more out of phase with our own dimension.

(4)     The Barsoom Conundrum is a term used to describe the problem of apparently extraterrestrial phenomena that may in fact prove to be extra-dimensional in nature.

(5)     The Blood of Amber describes the often intermingled bloodlines of known extra-dimensional travelers including Carl Corey, Lemuel Gulliver, Alice Liddell, Dorothy Gale, and others.

(6)   The Gateway Effect describes the phenomena whereby a single individual gifted with powers of extra-dimensional perception or movement may consciously or subconsciously allow the passage of additional persons or entities between parallel worlds.

The Kolchak – Maxwell Interviews, Part Two

 

Excerpt from a 1976 statement by journalist Karl Kolchak, as given to OSI Junior Grade Investigative Specialist Bill Maxwell:

 

Maxwell: The recorder is running Mr. Kolchak. Could you please repeat what you told me about this Carl Corey?

 

Kolchak: Look, Corey isn’t his real name! It’s just the name he uses when he’s in this reality.

 

Maxwell: Go on.

 

Kolchak: I know how it sounds. I’m not the only one. Two police officers saw that man vanish in thin air, and a half dozen people saw him call up a storm!

 

M: Mr. Kolchak, please. I believe you. Just tell me, one more time, what Mr. Corey told you.

 

K: *sighs* Fine. Carl Corey isn’t Carl Corey. He isn’t even human. He’s part of a race of people. They call themselves Amberites.

 

M: And these people are aliens? From another planet?

 

K: No, they’re not from another planet. They’re from another world!

 

M: Mr. Kolchak, I’m not following you.

 

K: Another world! Our Earth is just one of thousands, millions of Earths, all next to each-other! People from Amber step through worlds like we walk down the street! They can change the writing on the pages, re-write the world!

 

M: And all of them can do this?

 

K: No, not all. It takes special training. They use something Corey called “The Pattern”.

 

M: Right. Mr. Kolchak, how long have these Amberites been visiting the Earth?

 

K: Forever! From the beginning!
