The Doppelgänger Phenomenon: Why People Keep Seeing Their Double
For centuries, people have reported seeing doubles of themselves and others, sometimes as omens, warnings, or something they can’t explain. This episode explores the unsettling world of doppelgängers, from Abraham Lincoln’s eerie double and the strange case of Emilie Sagée to modern Twin Strangers stories where unrelated people look almost identical. Along the way, we dig into the folklore, psychology, and paranormal theories behind one of history’s strangest phenomena.
