What is the meaning of a doppelganger? help!?

Question

I'm very sensitive to the spirit world and I accept it. however, things have been getting much scarier for me. Weird sounds where no one is at the time, shadow people, bed shaking....but today topped off every experience I've ever had. My husband has been out of work for 3 months, he went back today. he left the house around 7:30 and I stayed in bed, wide awake but not ready to get up. About an hour later, our bedroom door opened and closed, I heard someone walk around the bed and felt them climb in. I was facing away from that side of the bed and keep my eyes closed for fear of what it might be. Then it put its arms around me and it felt just like my husband. So real that I wondered why he came home from work. I asked if it was him, and it replied "yes", but he was crying. then the bed began pulsating, I turned around and he was looking at me and then disappeared. this was the scariest thing I've ever been through, I was fully awake the entire time. I talked to my husband on the phone shortly after, he's fine and having a great day. What do doppelgangers mean? Is it just a weird thing or is it a premonition? I'm so freaked out right now.

Answer 1

It's someone who looks exactaly like you  

Answer 2

I think that there are demonic spirits in your home. Demons are very evil creatures and shouldn't be tolerated. As such you need to do is to pray asking Jesus Christ to protect you and your family. By praying I mean simply going somewhere privately and just talk to God like you would a normal person asking him for his protection. Then you need to command those spirits to leave your home in the name of Jesus Christ.By commanding them I mean telling them forcefully as if you could see them (like you would a human being) to leave you and your house alone, using the name of Jesus Christ. If you are still having a problem ask a pastor to bless your home, to pray for the safety of you and your family and for his advice on the situation.

Answer 3

A doppelgänger or fetch is the fictional ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation. Doppelgänger is the 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 vernacular, come to refer to any double of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called evil twin, or to bilocation. Alternately, 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 an omen of death.

Answer 4

My thought is that it could be your husbands spirit.

Before you say "but he's alive" poltergeists are entities created by a persons uncontrollable rage/despair etc. I could be something will happen to your husband that is so traumatic that he felt need to detach from his own body and his own time and warn you. you and your husband need to be on the lookout for something that could end catastrophically. People don't even do this if they witness a massacre.

you or your husband could be in serious danger. look up the butterfly effect. (not the movie) it could help.

Answer 5

If you are interested in them, I would recommend reading The Double, by Fyodor Dostoevsky.  It is considered a classic, you can probably pick it up at a used bookstore cheap, and since it's not too long, it's often paired with his Notes From the Underground, which is also worth reading.

Answer 6

I think a "doppelganger" is your "twin," as they say we all have a look alike out there somewhere, and has nothing to do with your experience.

Well I'm glad your husband was alive and well when you talked to him, that would be terrible if he wasn't...

Answer 7

God gives us power over all evil spirits or demons, in the name of Jesus. You should call some friends, preferebly Christians, and you should all pray in the name of Jesus to rebuke the evil spirit that is harassing you. The Devil´s greatest power is in fear, so don´t be afraid any more! Just rebuke it, and quote Bible verses out loud, like for example Psalm 23 (The Lord is my shepherd, etc) or the Lord´s prayer (Our Father which art in heaven, etc). Don´t allow this spirit any place in your life, and attack it with prayer and God´s word, and it will have to leave you alone. In the Bible it says that all spirits are subject to the name of Jesus, so use that power!

Answer 8

Doppelganger is a word that literally means "Double Walker" It is a type of demon. From this word, the concept of Evil Twins was formed. It is highly used in fiction. But it can be very real. If someone sees their own Doppelganger, they will die. But what you are describing doesn't seem to be a doppelganger per se. It might be another demon trying to mess with you.

Answer 9

doppelganger is like almost an evil twin of yourself, some said that if you happen to see one(of yourself) you would die, for example if you have seen the movie called "The One" starring Jet Li, he has a evil doppelganger, you can also search the article on wikipedia.

Answer 10

A Doppleganger in occult terminology is a "spirit double", or rather, a demon that looks exactly like someone. In German folklore supposedly there have been people who saw their Doppleganger a few days before they died. [Note to Yahoo answers, I have answered the question]

Here's what you should do next.....

Q. I think my house is haunted, for real. What should I do?

A. First, you eliminate the natural explanations. Is anyone in the house on drugs? Seriously, are they? I've known quite a few pot smokers who had a "ghost" in their house. Stop taking drugs, and the ghosts will go away. Does the ghost only seem to bother certain people? A child who wants attetion? An elderly person in the first stages of alzheimers? Schitzophrenics often live in "haunted houses" and talk to aliens too. Is there a source of running water nearby? A noisy aquarium pump turned out to be the "ghost" in one house I know of. If the occurences can't be eliminated by natural explanations, then you should call in a minister to bless the house. DO NOT call anyone with an occult or New Age background, because it won't do any good, and will probably make your situation much worse. Coventer's Prison in England had a problem with visitors being attacked by unseen forces in the late 1990's. They called in a spiritualist "minister" (i.e., a medium) to exorcise the place. The medium pronounced the place cleared, but of course it didn't work. He died a few days later, and the occurences were worse than ever. They finally closed the site to visitors, because of the unexplained marks and cuts visitors kept getting! I also know of someone who thought they had ghosts in their home and called in some Wiccans to do a "cleansing ritual". The situation only got worse. Don't get occultists involved. No Wiccans, Voodooists, Santerios, Canduras, "white witches", ceremonial magicians, Rosicrucians, Theosophists, Cabalists, spiritualists, psychics, "spiritual advisors", or anything like that. These people think they know a lot, they'll act like they do, but they don't (I'm not being mean, I'm being honest).

Get a Christian minister from a Bible believing church (no Mormons, Unitarians, JW's, Unity, or other cults). Chances are there is one close by. If they don't want to handle it for some reason, call someone else. Get out a phone book if you have to. It won't be hard to find someone who can help you.

Answer 11

Doppelgangers are not evil and they are not demons despite what may have been represented in some Jet Li movies or fictional novels.  Doppelgangers are echos or mirror images of something that exists physically.  Doppelgangers can be generated by a person who is spiritually trained and who wishes to create an image of a physical object.  This can be done for many reasons, but mystics have described producing doppelgangers in order to give the appearance that they are traveling with a companion, or to confuse attackers into thinking that there are more defenders than are actually there.

Doppelgangers can also be produced unconsciously by a person.

It does not sound like you saw a doppelganger.  I would consider a couple of different alternative explanations:

-  You may have been having a waking dream (though you believe you were completely awake).

-  Your husband may have been unconsciously astral traveling and coming back to bed with you.

-  You may have been seeing an echo or a ghost of something that had happened before.  This is kind of like a recording of an event that you may have been experiencing as a current event.

-  You may have created the image and the event.  I'm not talking about a dream, but you may have actually created the image of your husband without knowing that you had done it.

-  You'll never know what it was or why it happened.

Anyway, this is nothing to be afraid of.  If you are uncomfortable with the sensation and if it happens again, just ask "your husband" to leave you alone as if he were really there.  "He" will likely comply and you can get back to your normal routine again.

Just because something happens that is strange does not mean that it's evil, or that you're imagining things, or that you need to be afraid of it.  Accept it for what it is, and always try to act with kindness and compassion.  Good luck!
