However, no matter how it is explained, there are two things that can be certain about doppelganger: (1) they often bring bad omen, (2) many famous figures in history have been My doppelganger obsessed.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was a literary poet, and a famous German politician

One day, after parting with a girl named Frederika, Goethe sadly rode on a walking path. Suddenly he saw a mysterious person riding a horse toward him. That person is none other than Goethe but wearing a completely different outfit. This image disappears soon after and Goethe quickly forgets about it.

Eight years later, Goethe rode on the old walking path in the opposite direction (also to see Frederika again). And that was when he realized that he was wearing the exact same outfit as the ' same person ' he saw 8 years ago.

This is not the only time Goethe sees a doppelganger. Once, he caught a friend, Friedrich, walking on the street and wearing his cloak. He came home shortly afterwards and found Friedrich in his home and brought the same coat as he had seen on the street. This friend was caught in the rain and came in to borrow Goethe's shirt.

Catherine the Great

Catherine the Great is a powerful queen and a dangerous Russian figure in the 18th century. She is not afraid of things like seeing her doppelganger take over the crown.

The story recounts that, one night, Queen Catherine is lying down when the two maids say they have just seen her enter the courtroom. She went to investigate the incident shortly afterwards, and found herself sitting calmly on the throne. The Queen immediately ordered the guards to shoot this 'ghost '. No one mentioned anything about the queen's doppelganger being affected by that bullet; but this queen died a long time later.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley is a brilliant poet, but is often remembered as the husband of Mary Shelley (author of the Frankenstein novel). Although Marry Shelly, the author of horror novels, is often thought to have seen demons, it was Percy who witnessed the doppelganger.

Shortly before drowning in a maritime accident in 1812, Percy admitted to his wife that he had seen his ghost many times. One of these obsessive experiences was when Percy stepped onto the steps and was greeted by his doppelganger and asked, 'How long are you going to be satisfied like this ?'

Percy's ghost is also seen by a close friend - Jane Williams - as she walks through her window (the path Percy usually takes) and to every dead end, but never comes back.

Queen Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth I (reigning Britain from 1558-1603) is known as a wise, calm and prestigious monarch. She is someone who never wants to be involved with supernatural phenomena. However, Queen Elizabeth I saw her doppelganger lying motionless on the bed like a corpse. And this has become a big obsession because it brings a sign of death. However, this may also be due to a temporary malfunction of the electroencephalogram, if not for the fact that Queen Elizabeth I died shortly after seeing her doppelganger.

Abraham Lincoln

One night after his first election, while lying on his bed, President Abraham Lincoln suddenly glanced through the mirror and saw his face. There are two faces in his mirror. A pale and spooky Lincoln placed next to the real face looking at him from the mirror. The president jumped out of bed and the doppelganger disappeared; But when he lay down, this ghost appeared again.

Mary's wife feared that this doppelganger would bring unfortunate luck to his re-election. President Lincoln then decided to look closely at his ghost again, but since then it hasn't reappeared. Perhaps because it conveyed its message, because President Arabham Lincoln failed in his second term.

Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant is famous for its intimate experience with his ghost . This Doppelganger not only speaks but also tells the writer a story; and Maupassant admitted that one of his last stories was actually written by his ghost.

The story of ' The Horla ' this writer is said to be a brainstorming story, a conscience who is gradually corroded by souls of demons and considers this person a ' host '. And since then, Maupassant's mental health began to decline.

Back a few months after disappearing, this doppelganger entered Maupassant's room, looking at him with a sad and desperate face. A year later, this writer died in a mental hospital.

Emilie Sagee

Emilie Sagee used to work at a girls' school. As a good teacher, Emilie always changed jobs for some reason. In just 16 years, she had to jump to 19 times.

In 1845, the school side began to discover the reason for this strangeness. 13 students witnessed Emilie's ghost standing next to her during class and reflecting on her steps. The next time, this specter stood behind her while she was eating, and she was unaware of this appearance even though everyone could see it very clearly. However, every time the ghost appeared, Emilie looked tired and unmotivated.

Once, Emilie's doppelganger appeared in the classroom and sat calmly in the chair while Emilie herself was still gardening. Some people approached the ghost, but discovered they could go through it.

Over time, Emilie ghosts have become quite familiar in school life, however, it still frightens many people. Therefore, parents decide to transfer their children. And although always a model teacher, the school principal was forced to fire Emilie and her ghost.

Scientific explanation

Some scientists think that:

This phenomenon occurs due to injury or stimulation to certain parts of the brain, thereby causing deviations in the ability to perceive space.

Others are more objective, considering that the majority are due to neurological disorders, including multiple personality disorders and schizophrenia.
