It is a double of a person. The belief is that everyone has a "twin" in the world be it the living world or the world of the dead.
Stories also say that the doppleganger would be the opposite of a person. If the person is good the doppleganger would be evil and vise versa.

It is very weird this subject was braught up, makes me wonder why?
Cause 2 nights ago I was woken by something telling me to start a thread on Doppelgänger
so I am having a sort of Deja-vu thing happening.
We have lost so much of our myths folklore and legends much was passed on verbally and not even wrote down.
Actually Erin you are half way correct. A Doppelgänger can be seen as a polar opposite of a individual person.
Correct translation is (from the German word for ("double goer")
Sometimes people have said they have heard voices of there children calling out to them.
They check there room child is asleep. Or they claim a loved one will walk by they will follow and the image of that person and they just disapear.
Most common is Mothers seeing there children or hearing them and the child at school or asleep.
But somehow its always seen by a close loved one. From what I have seen and my investigations has lead me to believe and myths and folklore has taught me that they are spirits. Or a form of astral projection that is unknowingly done by the individual.
Most commonly connected with children. As to why? some say it was a warning or omen. some think its demonic, Jury is out in my opinion untill I gather more eye witnesses. But there is something spirtual happening. I just dont know what or why and I dont want to speculate untill I have more data. But I am comfortable saying it is a spirit of sorts

I kept pushing the persistant idea of a dopplleganger to the back of my mind during and after an investigation about a month and a half ago. The term was brought up in a group conversation during the investigation. Several photos came out later that had images of someone similar but not quite exact or two different people on the team (one being me!) with different cameras, it was chalked up to old memory cards and cheap digital cameras. Thats why I started this thread a few weeks ago after seeing the pics from that particular investigation. Lots of coinkidinks! Things that make you go hmmmm.

Dopplegangers are interesting. It could be many things in my opinion.
I have read a few case studies in a book i was reading (can't remember the name) and it said that during the world wars many reports of dopplegangers were recorded. Usually just before the person had died.
It could also be some form of astral projection. One of my friends had actually woken up to see their boyfriend in their living room. Had talked with them and then the projection vanished.
My other theory would be a demon messing with someone's head (one can never tell with them) or it is a shape-shifter who is taking on what the person wants to see.

Completly agree with your observation Keero  Astral Projection and Spiritual or Demonic I am still not sure what one though. |
