DOPPELGANGERS ARE EVERYWHERE!

I saw MYSELF walk into the restaurant and sit down at a table about 15-20 from where we were sitting. I immediately pointed "him" out to my wife and we both proceeded to freak out!

Here are a few interesting doppelganger accounts:

“I never physically met my own döppelganger but it seems other people have. In the 1980s, I had several people asking me if I had been living in Dunedin. That's one of New Zealand's major cities, in the south of South Island, on the east coast. I was living in Westland, on the west coast of South Island, a good seven-hour drive from Dunedin. At that point, I hadn't been to Dunedin since I was an infant so no, definitely not living there. More than one person had said to me about my being there. That I was involved in the theatre, and if it wasn't me, then this young woman had the exact same haircut and colour (long, auburn hair) and green eyes, and the same first name. A name that is not that common in New Zealand.

When I moved to Christchurch, on the east coast, I had one more person ask me if I'd moved north. I asked them what they meant, and they said that they'd seen me in a café in Dunedin and I said 'Hi' to them but rushed off. And that was that. I never heard another thing about it. This was over thirty years ago. So weird. I shouldn't be surprised, I've had some pretty weird experiences that I can't always put down to the mushrooms or the weed.

As I have become more familiar with the simulation hypotheses, the more I'm thinking it explains a lot of this weird shit such as the shadow person and hat man and several other crazy stuff I and others have experienced, and may well be a reasonable explanation for people experiencing the döppelganger effect. The only problem is, at this point, it is using one mystery to explain another. (Sigh).” S

“This happened to me about twenty-five years ago. I was going through a bad time, with no money for a car or any luxuries yet people claimed to have seen me in an expensive sports car at the best restaurants in town, wearing Italian suits. Several people over a few weeks were convinced they had seen the rich me. It suddenly stopped, and has never happened since.” M

“About 30 years ago, me and my wife were sitting at a crowded local restaurant. We were waiting for our order when low and behold, I saw MYSELF walk into the restaurant and sit down at a table about 15-20 from where we were sitting. I immediately pointed "him" out to my wife and we both proceeded to freak out! He never saw us (it was too crowded) and he even had on my same style of clothes, not the same clothes, just the same style, including a hat! Then he spoke and that's when our jaws dropped - he even had my voice! We were just too freaked out to walk up to him and start a conversation, but he was by himself and I was afraid that if we both approached him, he might freak out as well and we would end up causing a scene.

However, as I understand it, doppelgangers are also associated with evil or bad luck. We never got that feeling from him at all and he wasn't just a guy who resembled me...he WAS me. I saw him one other time within a year or so of the first encounter. He was on a bicycle peddling down the road only a few streets nearby where we lived. My wife and I were in the car headed in the opposite direction and we freaked out again. Haven't seen him since. It's good to see these other stories of people seeing themselves, as I thought I was the only one to do so. Doesn't make me feel so weird about it now. Can't help but wonder what it all means though?” J

NOTE: I think that most people are mistaken for someone else at some point. It's happened to me several times. I always wonder who it was that they saw. Lon
