She said she saw me walking by her in our hallway and heading toward my room. But when she called me by my name because it looked like me I just kept on walking. She said that when she saw me only half of me was illuminated and the other side was dark as if shadowed in. When she went to the room which I walked into she opened the door but I wasn't there.

Oddly enough, today I had a dream about some guy who was a con artist and I caught on to him but I wanted to know what he really wanted. Well, when I found out he wanted some people's information from work, I told him I was recording our meeting and I knew he was a con artist. He was a fat guy and as quickly as that, he took off his disguise and was a muscular man with shoulder length hair. He got away because I was trying to catch him.

So it was me and my friend and my sister in the house and my friend sees the muscular guy in-front of the house with an axe. I tried to dial 911 but he had intercepted the line. So I told my sister to use her cell but she wouldn't listen. The back door in the kitchen was open and I yelled to my friend to close it cause he might run around the house and come through there.

Then at some point, I talked to him and told him to leave us alone and he said he wanted what he originally wanted and I said I couldn't. So he quickly jumped over to me but there was a security door in front of me. So I quickly closed it but he managed to put his axe in-between the door and try to open it. I was holding the door because if he came in we were all going to die. I said Jesus help me he can't come in.

Then all of a sudden, the man in my dream said the "f" word and started to run, but I saw someone exactly like him chasing him with an axe and so I started to chase him too, and in my dream, I killed him.

i was so shocked (and scared) i didn't even go after him until he had already had plenty of time to get away. never seen anything like it before, and hope to god i never do again.

honestly, i would rather kill myself than see my own doppelganger. and only you can see the doppelganger.

About six months later, a friend told me that a woman moved in the house next door to him and she looked so much like me it freaked him out. I asked him where he lived and discovered he was renting out an apartment in the house next to were I grew up and my “lookalike" was renting the house I grew up in! I went over there and discovered her working in the yard. I introduced myself and told her that I was raised in the house she now lived in.

Her hair and makeup were the same and we were wearing the same clothes. She looked at me with a lot of mistrust and the feeling was uncomfortable. I never saw her again but over twenty years later we moved back to that same town, Lawrence, Kansas. One day a sales lady at a store I was in said, “Oh did you forget something?” When I replied that I just walked in, she said, “No you didn't. I just sold you some perfume a few minutes ago.” As we talked, she could not get over how much I looked like this lady who was a frequent customer.

Two more people told me the same basic thing on the same day. I cannot explain it, no matter how much I try. It just is what it is!

As a child growing into adolescence, I had a recurring dream where I stood in a doorway and watched myself climb a pile of furniture and fall and look at me during that fall. And all of a sudden I am the 'me' falling and seeing myself standing in the doorway watching me fall. That dream always left me waking up breathing hard like I had run a few miles. I cant say that the dream was scary but it would leave me feeling like I was being watched for several days, but with a sense of comfort.

Then, later that day, i went on Facebook and my friend who lives in New Mexico took a picture of me at a restaurant, but i went straight home after my hike, and for that matter, how in the hell was he able to take that picture? the girl in the photo looks exactly like me. I don't know. Thought i would share my recent incident. Very creepy.

So i was almost running to go to the other building, when outside my office door I saw a co-professor walking towards the same direction where I am heading. since i am in a hurry i didn't bother to greet him. when i got to the other building, i saw again my co-professor and this time he was coming down from the second floor and he greeted me good morning. i was so shocked because there is no other way that he could get past me that fast. i can't think of a way how he could get to the second floor that fast when i was almost running to get there.

The sight of this man fishing took my breath away, and freaked the guy out because it stopped me in my tracks and I couldn't help but stare. I think i began to have a panic attack, it was so overwhelming. All I wanted to do was go and hug this stranger. I don't believe he was an evil twin, but nonetheless it did not bring me any comfort at all, just sadness all over again.

We don't live in the same town so he was pleased to see me, and he rang me on my mobile to see if i wanted to join them. The girl outside picked up her mobile at the exact moment i answered mine, so he wouldn't believe me at first when i said i was nowhere near him! He was convinced it was me.

He's never seen her since, but i know she's been around at least once more because a friend of mine told me she had seen me in a place i couldn't possibly have been in at the time. Spooky.

It was at least four more years before I heard about her again. I worked for a comedy club and one of my co-workers asked me how I liked the concert. After telling her I had been home all weekend, she insisted I had been at the concert she went to. She later went through her camera and showed me a picture of who seemed to be me, at this concert.

Now she has appeared again, a little over three years later. My recent ex-boyfriend, whom I lived with for almost a year, claims he saw her at my work. He thought she was me and was about to approach her/me when he saw the real me out of the corner of his eye. The store was pretty crowded and by the time he got over the initial shock of what had just happened, she was nowhere to be seen. He is the only one who saw her and says that there was absolutely no difference. Her hair was the same cut/color/style as my own, her face and body were the same, everything, the same.

I do not know what any of this means other than the fact that she seems to appear about once every three or four years and started around the time I turned 18. People have told me that she does appear to be about two years younger than me, though. Pretty creepy to think that at one point tonight my doppelganger was no more than 30 feet from me. Not really sure what to make of it all.

i later found out that my double was living the same life as me, only backwards. after we moved away to abilene, i haven't heard or seen any real evidence that she really existed. could she be a manifestation of negative energy that just appears to people who are important in my life, or could she be a real living breathing person who just looks, and speaks, and dresses exactly the ways I do?

I walk to the bottom of the stairs and ask her who's she yelling at. She said you. Confused I said I was in the living room playing a game. She yelled no you wasn't you were just here trying to scare me like you always do. (I do try to scare her a lot!), and again I told her I was playing a game. Then we continued to argue.

The scariest thing about it was that she told me that I gave her an evil smile and I then walked downstairs.

My other sister told me that she saw me upstairs, while she was sleeping, getting something from off the ground around 8:00 am. I was already at school so that couldn't have been me.

I'm pretty sure I have a doppelganger.

I decided to explore the relationships between that dance and the medieval "danse macabre." The idea of death as a dance seems so bizarre, but almost common. If you've seen "Thriller" you know that the Michael Jackson character undergoes several transformations. Of course, for many, the most memorable is the change into leader of the zombies.

For a long time, I took all this at face value (he became a zombie too) until I was reading Marina Warner's book on metamorphosis. She has a chapter on zombies and one on doppelgangers. As I read through this, it hit me like a ton of bricks! The dancing Michael Jackson character is actually, Michael Jackson's doppelganger, and a very clever one, at that. The dance is a distraction.

I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on this.

Upon entering school once, I saw a replica of my teacher. I was walking towards the high school building, caught sight of him, and was watching him as he prepared to enter the office. As I stared (I didn't say hi because he's snobbish in the morning) he looked over his shoulder at me and I grinned at him.

I really wish I hadn't looked away because I think that he disappeared passing through the glass doors of that office.

When his class came I was surprised to see him in a plaid shirt, unlike the blue shirt I saw him wear an hour ago. I stood up and asked him why he changed his clothes, and he claimed not to have, for he didn't have any reason to, which got me thinking.

He didn't have any reason to enter the office, either, because the teacher's lounge was in the building I was making my way to. Can doppelgangers wear different clothing or was I just imagining the teacher I admire? He's short and lean -- not a very common body build around here.

In February 2007, while doing volunteer work at the RSPCA of Ballarat, I was well and truly smitten by Elvira, from southwest Germany, who is a Sandra look-alike.

We know it was not my daughter, because I said "hello" to her, she turned and sort of looked right through both of us, but said nothing. Then as we went down the hallway, her room being at the end of the hall, my daughter was sitting in her room on her bed.

I went back into the living room, confused, and saw no one there. My son who had also spoken to the doppelganger, he called her "big head" jokingly, said he saw "both" of them as well. But this does not surprise me as I often have connections with the supernatural world. I'm not afraid of it, just curious.

Do not welcome the sight (doppelganger) of yourself, and do not welcome the sight (doppelganger) of a friend. Warn your friend and keep a distance.

we should understand that these entities are a negative energy suppressed by our own rational output creating its own power to exist among us to charge you within the same energy that was created to create themselves.

Like the polarity of electricity, it can be consumed and reversed to end its own cycle. Although the cycle is reversed if oneself can overcome the negative and become more positive in one's own future.

It supposedly appeared to all my class and teacher who all said that I got up from my desk, walked to the door, actually said goodbye to the teacher (this is extra weird because I can find no accounts of a doppelganger ever speaking) and walked out the door.

The teacher followed but it had disappeared. When i got to school everyone asked my where i gone when i had not been there at all.

Whether this double is perceived as good or evil may to some degree be dependent on the emotional state of the observer. in other words you are not going crazy. the doppelganger of captain smith of the titanic was seen in london in july l912 several months after the liner went down.

Either he was a ghost or a duplicate who was living in a reality where the liner did not go down.

the only thing off was his expression and his eyes. his eyes were cloudy, like milk or something, and he looked like he was about to try and kill me. my friends said they didn't see anything. what the hell was it?

Or they could go to a medical professional.

That was the only time I saw one. It never came back.
