Growing up, I thought it would be so freaking cool to have an identical twin.

Maybe it was the Olson twins, maybe it was the Parent Trap movies, I don't know, but something about being a kid in the 90s made me obsessed with having a double.

Someone I could share clothes with, who I could play pranks on people with, someone who looked like me, talk like me, thought like me. But once I became interested in the

supernatural and dug deeper into the fringe, I realized my twin may very well exist out

there, and suddenly I didn't want one anymore.

It turns out there's stories all over the internet happening all over the world

and throughout history stories of people who say that they've interacted

with another version of themselves, or an identical version of someone they love. Someone who talks, thinks, acts just like them,

someone who's a perfect carbon copy.

Only it's not a twin, or anything else with a logical explanation.

It's called the paranormal Doppelganger theory.

And it has kept me up laying awake at night

ever since I discovered it.

Because it poses one terrifying question.

Can there be a ghost of us, even if we aren't dead?

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is so supernatural.

Okay. Okay, I am so excited about this topic and a little confession. I am a total nerd and I love everything Marvel everything DC I believe in the multiverse

When we started diving into this topic I know both of our minds were racing with ideas mine mine especially. We thought we'd find an endless stream of theories and

explanations. We expected Tik-Tock breakdowns and YouTube deep dives, but the more we dug,

the more we realized people were mystified by the

paranormal Doppelganger theory.

Don't get us wrong. There were loads of stories from those who've had experiences with this kind of thing.
