Doppelganger

One of the creepiest phenomenon’s on the planet is that of Doppelgangers. A Doppelganger is an exact double of a person. Some call it an evil twin. It is also known in Irish folklore as a Fetch. It is generally thought that  seeing a Doppelganger is an omen of bad luck.

For example, in 1617 John Donne, a famous poet, saw the Doppelganger of his wife while she was away having a baby Only later he found out she had given birth to a still born child.

Other famous examples include Catherine the Great. One evening while she was lying in her bed, a number of servants came in and frantically told her they had just seen her walking into the throne room. Not long after she suffered a stroke, which eventually killed her a couple days later. 

Elizabeth I had a similar experience. She went into her chambers one night only to find herself already lying in bed. This double appeared deathly ill. Only a few days later Elizabeth herself died.

Finally, Abraham Lincoln described an experience in which he went to look at himself in the mirror, only to find a Doppelganger looking back at him. Purportedly the image looking back at him did not match up to his own reflection. It looked pale and sickly. When he told his wife about it, she claimed it meant he was going to be elected for a second term in office, but would not live to see the end of it. She was right.
