It could have been you from the future come back in time 'to put right what once went wrong'.
Nice work if you can get it. |

Man! I'm a little freaked already, and your story didn't help. Something weird just happened to me too, (I think...), but not nearly as weird as what just happened to you. I've heard of this kind of thing before, but your experience has spooked me.
Supernatural events that I can attach some meaning to I can deal with better. I just HATE the stuff that seems to have no other purpose than to mess with your head. |

I once borrowed a book from the library about ghosts and doppelgangers. One scary story was that a woman was walking down a street somewhere in London and she turned around to see her exact double in the crowd. Same clothes, hairstyle etc. She started running and the double ran too. Very frightened the woman reached her house and slammed the door shut, feeling safe....only for the doppelganger to emerge from the kitchen and attempt to cut out the woman's tongue with a pair of scissors(?).
Admittedly the book didn't state what seemed obvious to me - that the poor woman was mentally ill and had in fact injured herself. All the same it sounds horrible, reminding me of an episode of the Six Million Dollar Man. Steve Majors was warned that if a person's doppelganger ever "reached" them, it would signal death.
Hayzee - glad there are no low rooftops next to her home. |

Ooo spooky story, Faggus!
I remember reading a much happier story about a doppelganger ages ago. I think it was in Victorian times (meant to be true) and the man saw an exact double of himslef ahead of him going into his house, so he held back and watched as the figure went in to the house and up the stairs. He saw him walk across the room through the windows and then the house blew up (gas explosion? something like that)! If he had not seen the double, he'd have gone ahead into his house and been killed.
I must find that book, it had lots of stories in it like this! |

That sounds more like a 'fetch'. A fetch was your exact double who had come to take you because it was your time to die. Thus when it reached you, you would die. In some stories it was your reflection out of the mirror. When you saw it missing, you knew your fetch was coming to get you. I think this comes from the American south, but I could be wrong about that. |

OK, then it might be Irish.
On the other hand I've read so much of this stuff over the years, who the hell knows. Somebody believed it to be true somewhere. (It's happening. I'm losing the dots off my dice....) |

I remember reading about some woman who learnt how to project her double as a tulpa (thought form).
Maybe thats what you're doing subconsciously, Faggus. |

That's interesting all these doppleganger stories I have one that is sort of similar.
I was taking this theatre shop class and an older woman that was in the shop ended becoming a good friend of mine. She told me that I was spitting image of her daughter who died in a car crash on the main street in front of the school where we were taking the class.
Well I ended up seeing a photo of her daughter and it was like looking in a mirror.
A couple of months later I was leaving the school late and ended up getting into a car accident on that same street as her daughter and I found out later on that the night I got into the accident was the same night her daughter was in the car accident and died
Pretty creepy. I'm not sure if this would be considered a doppleganger but it was scarier than heck all the same.

I had the doppelganger thing in my teen years. I never met the other girl, but her friends would come right up to me and start talking. I found it interesting (and appreciated her breaking the ground for me when it came to good looking boys).
SHE WAS HER OWN DOPPELGANGER!
http://www.mysteries.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/1,1.htm
This is a favorite of mine. Poor girl couldn't keep a job because of her eery ability to bilocate. Her doppelganger was a bit of a vampire as well, draining the original girls energy everytime it appeared. Sometimes the doppelganger would emulate her motions perfectly, as if you were seeing the girl with double vision. At other times, it would act independently. Apparantly, the doppelganger couldn't actually be touched but people would feel a "resistance" in the air around it.
I don't know if there's any truth in it, but it's interesting. |
