If you come face to face with your doppelganger, it's a bad omen

Legend has it that if you come face to face with your doppelganger, it's an omen or warning of death—for both you and your twin. So, if you see a replica of yourself, run for your life. If you keep seeing your doppelganger, your days are likely numbered, as you'll soon see your death.

There are many stories about encounters with doppelgangers, none of them pleasant. Often, one person doesn't see their own doppelganger, but someone else does. Can you be in two places at once? No, but it's a very strange feeling when someone who knows you very well insists they saw you just thirty minutes ago—and you weren't around. Imagine this happening repeatedly, and you'll soon go mad.

Hence the myth that a doppelganger will precede the arrival of the real person. Many stories explaining their experiences with these apparitions have this in common. Perhaps they're one step ahead of you?

Alex submitted a compelling story last year, just before Halloween. He describes some disturbing incidents, but he had no idea what caused them. The story was edited for grammatical reasons only and published under the title "The Cemetery Mimic" (available at this link). Lauryl wrote a few weeks later, stating that she believes the story depicts repeated encounters with a doppelganger.

So, do doppelgangers really exist, or is it just a creepy urban legend? It's unlikely you'll believe it if you've never experienced one. Whether Alex actually has one is just speculation. The story rings true, but Alex is probably not in any danger, as there's no solid evidence of doppelgangers or anyone meeting their own death. In any case, the legend lives on.
