Hello:
Doppelganger Categories: German loaned word; Shapeshiftings; Legendary Creatures).
 For a long time now, I have been interested in the possibility of a 'connection' between the astral spectrum and the doppelganger. We've already read about Astral Projection, but when you look at it a little closer, you'll notice 'some' similarity to the phenomenon called, The Doppelganger. When we speak of one of them, it seems like we're really describing the other; both are one person but 'doubled', and one is never close to the other. Also, one is always carnal, and the other seems to be 'ethereal'. Let's read now about the Doppelganger, to get an idea of what I'm reffering to; and then you'll be able to judge for yourself, and maybe do some more research to get to your own conclusion.
Doppelgänger is the (A person of German nationality) German word for a ghostly double of a living person. The word comes from doppel meaning "double" and gänger translated as "goer". The term has, in the (The everyday speech of the people (as distinguished from literary language)) vernacular, come to refer to any double of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called "evil twin". The ability (said of certain Roman Catholic saints) to exist simultaneously in two locations) bilocation. Alternatively, the word is used to describe a phenomenon where you catch your own image out of the corner of your eye. In some mythologies, seeing one's own doppelgänger is a sign of something about to happen, omen of the event of dying or departure from life; death. A doppelganger seen by friends or relatives of a person may sometimes bring bad luck, omen or is an indication of an approaching illness or health problem.
The Doppelgängers of folklore cast no shadow and no reflection in a mirror or in water. They are supposed to provide advice to the person they shadow, but this advice could be misleading or malicious. They could also, in rare instances, plant ideas in their victim's mind or appear before friends and relatives, causing confusion.
Doppelgängers appear in a variety of literary fantasy involving the imagined impact of science on society, science fiction and imagination unrestricted by reality; fantasy works, in which they are a type of click link for more information and facts about shapeshifters; shapeshifters that mimics a particular person or species for some typically nefarious reason.
Famous reports of the Doppelgänger phenomenon
Emilie Sagée was a schoolteacher in the nineteenth century whose Doppelgänger's public appearances were recorded by Robert Dale Owen. Robert Dale Owen, after being reported to him by Julie von Güldenstubbe, French writer noted especially for her short stories (1850-1893, Guy de Maupassant recorded his own Doppelgänger experiences in his story Lui, Percy Bysse Shelley. Percy Bysse Shelley claimed to have met his Doppelgänger foreboding his own death.
English clergyman and metaphysical poet celebrated as a preacher (1572-1631), John Donne, the English metaphysical poet, apparently met his wife's Doppelgänger in Paris, foreboding the death of his yet unborn daughter.
At the end of World War II, it is rumored that Soviet forces found a dead body very similar to (German Nazi dictator during World War II (1889-1945), Adolf Hitler when they entered Berlin.
Emilie Sagée told Robert Dale Owen her experience and he was the one responsible for writing down the singular case of Emilie. He was told this anecdote by Julie von Güldenstubbe also, a native or inhabitant of Latvia. A member of the aristocracy, aristocrat, Von Güldenstubbe reported that in the year 1845, to 1845, at the age of 13, she witnessed, along with audiences of between 13 and 42 children, her 32 year old French teacher Sagée, in the bibliocate, in broad daylight, inside her school, Pensionat von Neuwelcke. The actions of Sagée's Doppelgänger included, mimicking writting and eating, but with nothing in it's hands, and moving independently of Sagée, and remaining motionless while she moved. Also, appearing to be in full health while Sagée was badly ill.
Apparently also, the Doppelgänger exerted resistance to the touch, but was non-physical (two girls passed through the Doppelgänger's body).
Similar or not to astral projection is yet to be determined; but for now, only you, the reader, can conclude for yourself.
