Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – The existence of so-called Doppelgangers and spirit doubles is an ancient and widespread belief.
According to legend, a Doppelganger (German for “double-walker”) is a duplicate of a real person. It is someone who looks like another person yet is not a twin. Mystics throughout the ages have believed that Doppelgangers and spirit doubles are supernatural creatures. They are either spiritual copies of the person or downright demonic twins.
According to legends and folklore, seeing one’s double or “alter ego’ is considered a bad omen.
If people saw the double of their relative in a place where they were not actually present, it meant that they had seen their spirit double, and that particular relative was to meet their death.
According to some beliefs and superstitions, doppelgangers are supposed to be the ‘evil twin’ that urges their human counterparts to commit evil and unlawful acts.
