It's eerie to come across someone with practically the same features and characteristics as yourself or another person you know, and doppelgangers are often seen as spooky. True doppelganger stories can be truly horrifying and often include interesting details about how people tried to interact with their lookalikes. With over 7.5 billion humans in the world, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are plenty of people who look uncannily similar to each other. But what about someone who is unrelated to you – but is your exact duplicate? Meeting a doppelganger can be a surreal experience - especially if they suddenly disappear without a trace.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Creepy Encounters With Doppelgangers” by Nathan Gibson: http://bit.ly/2YkPTwL“Robert Hanson: The Butcher Baker” by Orrin Grey: http://bit.ly/30ApyHL“Do The Ghosts Of The Pony Express Still Ride?” by Troy Taylor: http://bit.ly/2YTsnTG“The Tea Set”: http://bit.ly/2LjNYli“The Fleece Inn” was written by Alan Toner (from the book, “100 True Ghost Stories”): https://amzn.com/B00DW64J8S“The Foreshadowing of Things To Come” was written by Cindy Parmiter (from the book, “Fear of the Night: Real Tales of Sleep Paralysis, Night Terrors and Prophetic Dreams”): https://amzn.com/B017IYB5PE“The Encounter” written and illustrated by Paul Spangler: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4yszmvmx“The Grey Lady” submitted by Keith: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/52bmfz7v“The Haunted Workshop” submitted by Steve: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/6t645hxn“Dad’s Ghostly Doppelganger” submitted by Wayne: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hf2cashn“Recurring Dream” submitted by Steve: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/jxmnneu5“Dream Stalkers” submitted by Alana D.: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/tjh5474z“Poltergeists and Magic” submitted by Mystic G.: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/266bw7xc“Ghost Car” submitted by Steve: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/h3t6eebt“Have You Ever Seen Your Doppelganger?” submitted by Alice C.: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2uc8a2rw“Bedroom Ghost” submitted by Keith: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/jyvycaWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
