DOPPELGANGER Experiencer Wonders Why He Twice Observed Himself

A doppelganger experiencer recalls two instances, as a child, when he observed himself or a double of himself. His father kind of brushed it off as happenstance. Now he wonders what happened.

I received the following account:

“When I was a kid, like, I was 11 or 12, something like that, I was playing in the huge parking lot that was behind my house in North Chicago, IL. I had a baseball bat and I was pretending it was a sword.

So I was in the parking lot, slashing around, pretending I was fighting bad guys. The parking lot was one huge parking lot and then it had driveways going beside the building out to the main road. So I was fighting in it and I got up to the fence that was on the side of one of the driveways and I did a fancy little slash and then I pretended I sheathed it on my back and then I stood up and I looked down the driveway. I saw myself standing on the sidewalk staring back at me!

Of course, I was freaked out because I didn't know what was going on. At first, I thought it was someone who looked just like me and he probably thought the same thing. And then he kind of did a jog down the sidewalk past the building where I couldn’t see him anymore. So I ran up and looked around the corner and he was gone. I looked around the parking lot just in case he was looking for me but I couldn't see him. So, creeped out, I decided to head home and I told my father about this and then he told me about doppelgangers. I was convinced I saw my own doppelganger.

Two or three years later, I'm walking down the sidewalk toward home, and I look down the driveway and I see myself playing in this parking lot doing all the same slashes. I did like the fancy slash and sheathed it. And I was like, I remember this. I remember seeing myself in this position. So without even thinking about it, I dashed off to the front of the building and turned around and I waited for my younger self to come up the driveway. But my younger self never showed up. I looked down the driveway and I was not there. I walked home and I told my father about what I just saw and he laughed.

I wonder if seeing a doppelganger is common? My father acted as if it was something that happens to everyone. I'm an adult now, and it's been over a dozen years since that last encounter. I'm just wondering what caused me to see it?” C

Featured in this edition:

The Appalachian Trail meanders amid mountains and valleys for 2,190 miles through 14 states from Georgia to Maine. Hundreds of thousands of people step foot on it each year. The biggest danger is not being prepared for the challenging hike. But there are also bears, coyotes, snakes, and ticks that frequent it. Then there are those 'things' that are not usually talked about. Sit back and listen to a few of the strange and terrifying tales that have become Appalachian Trail lore.

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
