Oriuagor

'Oriuagor. The One Who Waits, also called The Prophecy of Oriuagor', is allegedly a book published in 1732 that describes a frightening future where the earth is ruled by the Anti Christ, called Oriuagor.

In 2007, Danish author Palle Vibe released the novel Oriuagors Profeti (The Prophecy of Oriuagor) inspired by the book. In the novel, various people encounter the original Oriuagor book and are driven mad or even killed by the experience.

Some sources (see below) claim that the book Oriuagor really exists. The book seems to be a hoax (possibly perpetuated by Palle Vibe for publicity purposes), but who knows?
