It is somewhat disturbing to think that there may exist in the world a person with our same characteristics physical is something that intrigues and scares.The reality is that we cannot put aside the simple similarities so common to Throughout history, people of similar traits that cause astonishment and that, lately, are so famous in social networks.We see, for example, famous actors next to old photographs that leave those who compare them speechless, are they montages? or simple coincidences?
Without a doubt, they are no more than that, simple coincidences.The theme of the "doubles" is something that has always scared, something that has served as a central theme for stories such as unforgettable "William Wilson" of Edgar Allan Poe , where the subject of the famous "Dolppengalger" is approached. Have you heard of them? ever? We invite you to know a little more about this interesting subject.
What is a Doppelganger?
The Doppelganger, is part of the Nordic legends and German.They are an unequivocal symbol of bad luck and ultimately, also of death.Let's give an example: imagine that this Christmas you prepare the trip of your life, you save enough and you go to that European city that you always dreamed.late by one of the old bridges of that particular capital and, suddenly, you meet someone "strangely familiar". You feel an indefinable sensation when you cross with you, so much, that you decide to turn around to see her better.Then the other person also stops to look at you.And that is the moment when you realize that is you. Your very image, your same expression….is a Doppelganger, German word formed with the terms "Doppel" (double) and "Ganger" (walker). And its essence, of course, is evil...
Leaving the legend aside, the reality is that there are many stories related to this phenomenon.It is said for example that Abraham Lincoln was seen himself days before his own murder, and that some scientists prefer to raise the interesting idea of possible parallel or multi-universe worlds, that concept that they so effectively presented to us in the "Fringe" series. There is also talk of paranormal phenomena such as "bilocations" , that is, people who are able to project themselves in two places at once.
It's more , there is another risky theory that tells us that, in reality, there are 7 exact replicas for each human being.Each one in a country and with different lives.But yes, sharing a same temporary moment. Fascinating right?
Some famous cases coincidences or something else?
There is an interesting case that is always brought to reference when we talk about "Doppelganger.We are talking about the young French teacher Emilie Sagee .She worked in Latvia and the people, especially her students were afraid of her.Why the reason? Basically because Emilie had a very special faculty.She materialized her double almost without realizing it.It was explained, for example, that often, when she turned around to write on the board, at the time a figure equal to her appeared beside her.Moreover, one day even the Doppelganger of Miss Sagee, materialized in one of the chairs while «the original» was out in the garden.An interesting story halfway, of course, of urban legend and fantasy.Even so, there is quite a lot of documentation.Here we leave you an image created to tell the story of the famous French teacher.
Today the theme of the doubles is something very sought after by social networks.There is even a Canadian photographer called Francois Brunelle who is carrying out an interesting project in which he looks for the doubles of celebrities.The results are amazing.
And it is very certain that you also know those cases so well-known to our Hollywood actors and their historical doubles.Both Nicolas Cage, like Matthew McConaughey or John Travolta seem to have their own.Then, there are quite suggestive physical similarities, such as the similarity between Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan .Did you notice?
And now tell us what do you think about "the doubles" ? Do you think we have perhaps some double of ours in another part of the world?
