IN THIS EPISODE: A doppelganger is someone who looks almost identical\xa0to someone else even though they are not related to that person. It's eerie to come across someone with\xa0practically the same features and characteristics as yourself or another person you know, and doppelgangers are often seen as spooky. True doppelganger stories can be truly horrifying and often include interesting details about how people tried to interact with their\xa0lookalikes. With over 7.5 billion humans in the world, it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that there are plenty of people who look uncannily similar to each other. But what about someone who is unrelated to you \u2013 but is your exact duplicate? Meeting a doppelganger can be a surreal experience - especially\xa0if they suddenly disappear without a trace.
