The old legends about Doppelganger

Doppelganger is not a fictional movement in a certain period. This phenomenon has existed for a long time and is recorded in the history of many cultures. For example, in Greek mythology , hunter Narcissus fell in love with his shadow. Or in ancient Gothic stories, characters are obsessed with copies that reflect the cruelty in the soul.

One of the oldest documents on Doppelganger is in the Zurvanism , a branch of Zoroastrian. This religion has realized the abstraction of 'fire' with a pair of twins, Ahura Mainyu and Ahura Mazda - symbolizing good and evil. In ancient Egyptian mythology , the word 'ka' refers to a person who has almost the same appearance, memories and emotions.

In the West, Doppelganger is said to be a demon- created entity, also known as 'Evil Twin' . They are children who are born and exchanged with children of demons so growing up will bring disaster to the victims.

Scary stories are real

President Abraham Lincoln himself saw his ghost in the mirror one night after winning his first election in 1860. When he got home, he was startled to find that he had two faces in the mirror. An ordinary Lincoln and a ghostly pale Lincoln.

More surreal is that after meeting his copy, Lincoln and his family continued to have bad luck. It was the American civil war that occurred shortly after his inauguration, his third child, William Wallace Lincoln died in 1862 at the age of 11 and eventually Lincoln himself was assassinated in 1865 after 2nd re-election.

Unlike Lincoln, the famous French writer Guy de Maupassant has quite close experiences with his copy ghost . This ghost even told stories to the writer.

He admitted that the horror short story 'Le Horla' was written by him beginning with the story of this ghost. However, no matter how close he was, he could not avoid death shortly afterwards. Since then, the short story 'Le Horla' has become his final work.

The discovery of an unknown twin brother who is almost like me is also said to be Doppelganger. In 1903, it was discovered that there were two identical prisoners, from the nose to the name and were sentenced to prison at the Leavenworth correction camp in Kansas. The prison guards here have encountered many disastrous confusion between these two people. In the end everything can only be solved by fingerprint comparisons.

When science comes in and seeks to explain

The mystery of Doppelganger has attracted many scientists to explore, hoping to find the final solution to this phenomenon. Currently, there are many hypotheses from spirituality to science related to Doppelganger.

Some mystical scientific researchers think that everyone has a ghost of their own. But you will never meet because this will cause imbalance in nature. And if that happens, fate causes you to die to balance again. Others are more objective, considering that the majority are due to neurological disorders, including multiple personality disorders and schizophrenia.

In the United States, in 2006, a researcher named Brunelle launched a project to look for identical couples without any prior relationship. He was surprised when the number of couples found was increasing. And the strange thing is that no one has a bad or deadly problem.

This study, published in Science, makes people think of Doppelganger immediately . This raises the possibility that anyone in the world has a flesh-and-blood twin brother somewhere.

Even so, over decades of research, the phenomenon of Doppelganger is still covered by a mysterious black curtain that no one can explain .
