my frens told me this story:
I was taking a nap during the day and I awoke (why I woke up at that particular moment I don't know) to my husband standing beside my bed. Strangely enough he was drinking a 20-ounce bottle of soda and shaking his hips back and forth as if to say "Ha ha, I have a soda and you don't!" -- like a child would, I suppose. Immediately I became aggravated, and I sat up and yelled, "Louis, go away and leave me alone!" As I watched, fully awake and right before my eyes, my "husband" started to disappear from the feet up in a fashion that looked digital! I began to be able to see that "he" was made of little squares and they were quickly disappearing from his feet up until he was completely gone! I have NEVER been so freaked out in all of my life!
The other thing about this vision was that it was completely deathly silent. There was no sound at all and it was almost like there was a vacuum or as though the thing itself made everything around it even more silent. For example, my fan that was beside my bed didn't seem to be making a sound. I immediately went upstairs and called him on his cell. He was (and had been all day) in Alabama working! (He is a railroad supervisor).
The things I know for sure are: 1. That "thing" was NOT my husband. 2. I was definitely awake and not dreaming because I went directly upstairs after seeing "it." 3. I know the everyday term for these things are "doppelgangers."
I want to know more. What exactly is behind a "doppelganger"? What or who is it that makes them occur? Also, if anyone is an expert on these things, I would be interested to know why it chose to imitate my husband, and why the dorky childish "soda dance"? I have seen paranormal things in the past but to see evidence of a ghost makes sense -- you know what they are and pretty much where they come from. But this thing is just too bizarre to me!
What creeps me out the most about it...I wonder how long "it" stood over me while I was sleeping before I sensed it and woke up and saw it!!
i've heard of doppelgangers before...
supposedly if you see your own you will die, and if a friend/relative sees YOUR doppelganger, you'll have bad fortune and get sick etc.
either that or it's the other way around.... :/
erm in case u haven't notice. every ghost stories claim to be true.
