DoppelgängerThis is a featured page

Mr. Spock's Doppelganger A doppelgänger is the ghostly — in some cases, the physical — double of a living person. The word "doppelgänger" is a loanword from German, in which language it is written (as with any German noun) with an initial capital letter: Doppelgänger. The word derives from Doppel ("double") and Gänger ("goer").

In English, the word is conventionally uncapitalized ("doppelgänger"). It is also common to drop the German diacritic, umlaut, from the letter "ä," writing "doppelganger," although in German the correct spelling without the umlaut would actually be "Doppelgaenger."

In the vernacular, "Doppelgänger" has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin"—or to bilocation. It is an exact replica of a specific human being.

The word is also used to describe a phenomenon whereby one catches his own image out of the corner of his eye. In some traditions, seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death, or a warning of an aproaching danger. A doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives may sometimes bring bad luck, or indicate an approaching health problem.

there is a ghost that follow my sister that looks excatly like her. but nothing has ever happened to her. my sister sees the ghost and so do I and some others. she's used the ouija board to talk to her, and has had dreams about the girls murder. So I would think there are other instances, where one could see 'themselves' and it not be a doppleganger.

A doppelganger is actually the clone of you and as they said if you meet them death is a must...but you or your doppel will die it necessarily does not mean you will die.In some cultures there is a balance in the world. There exists three copies of the same being each with a share of energy from the herald. When one dies the other two recieve an equal or close to equal share of the energy of the dead doppel. I know this seems like a hoax or something like that but it is not. Just do the research!
