Foreigners have disrespected the mountain which has angered ‘the beast’ and this is why it is about to erupt, residents living near to Mt Agung insist.
The Indonesian volcano looks set to blow as up to 400 earthquakes have hit the region over the last few days, causing 75,000 people to flee the danger zone.
While the imminent eruption is a natural phenomenon, a priest of a nearby village, Muntig, a Balinese village inside the volcano evacuation zone, says that the mountain is angry because the “bule” – white people – have been having sex and menstruating on it, according to Australia’s Fairfax Media.
Jaya, the priest of the village, said: "The climbers did that.”
No-one can predict when Agung will erupt, say the villagers but the biggest warning sign will be when the animals start fleeing.
Another local, Ketut, said: "The old people advised us the heat from the mountain will make them flee. All kinds of animals - deer, snakes, wild cows, anything.”
However, he added: "I'm not afraid. Agung is mysterious and no-one can predict his ways.”
So far, 75,000 people have been forced to flee the surrounding areas of Agung as the likelihood of it erupting grows.
