(the phenomenon that implies a duplicity of a living person) and what is your opinion about the shocking experience that turns out to be seeing a "ghost" like this.

You don't believe you saw something.
How do you explain this to someone?
What? did you see a ghost?
No. I saw.... me.
Everyone else sees ghosts- you come across kind of narcissistic when you say you saw yourself...
People who never heard of doppleganers (In the US would probably not understand)

A doppelgänger or fetch is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation.
In the vernacular, "Doppelgänger" has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin".
The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection.
They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. In Norse mythology, a vardøgr is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance.
The doppelgängers of folklore cast no shadow, and have no reflection in a mirror or in water. They are supposed to provide advice to the person they shadow, but this advice can be misleading or malicious. They can also, in rare instances, plant ideas in their victim's mind or appear before friends and relatives, causing confusion. In many cases once someone has viewed his own doppelgänger he is doomed to be haunted by images of his ghostly counterpart.
its so scary...

Doppelganger are existing in today's world. Even if a person is not having a twin of himself, he may have a doppelganger. Let's see what this means. This means that one haves a twin (evil or angelic) side of him even if not predominant. This is what happened in our city...maybe (I'm not sure about the doppelganger part).
A terrorist somehow escaped the police of Punjab & made way into our city. He lived here and spread terror for only two days. Then it was seen that he had died. Reports read that he had died when he was looking into a mirror. There were no one in that hut where he lived & no bloodstains were there on his clothes..his face seemed that he died a normal death. He may have died by seeing his anelic side doppleganger in the mirror.

Yeah!.I lived on the gold coast in Australia and many people would call me "Dave" and this person "Dave" would always be about 20 minutes in front of me.Everywhere I went people would say "Did you forget something?" or "Why did you come back????" and I would be there wondering what the hell was going on.I don't know if there was another person who looked like me,but it was pretty disconcerting finding out that I may have a double out there somewhere!!!.

I tend to think doppelgangers and ghosts are one and the same, only difference is that the doppelganger is before you die, the ghost is after. I believe it's a decieving spirit.

My grandmother has told me the tale of the doppleganger when I was young. We are German. They say that if someone sees your double that cast no shadow or has no reflection that something bad is going to happen to you. A doppleganger is the evil and malice version of yourself.
