Have you ever met someone that looks so much like you that it could be your long lost twin? If so, then you’ve met your doppelgänger. Doppelgänger is a German word that in literal terms means “double-goer,” according to Wikipedia.
But in modern terms, doppelgänger is another word for your look-alike.
In some cultures, a doppelgänger is believed to be a double of a living person and is considered a paranormal phenomenon. Past folklore and literature even portrayed a doppelgänger union as a sinister event that was a harbinger of bad luck.
Nowadays, the word is used to describe someone who physically resembles another person.
Upon meeting your doppelgänger, there’s just so many questions. Who? What? When? Where? How? And why?
Do you have secret relatives you don’t know about it? Have you just entered an alternate reality? Did your mom have a fling with the mailman? Were you adopted?
While some people make become incredibly confused or go into panic mode. Most people these days find it to be a happy coincidence. One that, of course, requires a photo that is posted to social media.
Here are 15 of the most uncanny doppelgänger sightings on the internet.
