Doppelganger or Double Walker is a paranormal double of a living person, typically representing evil or misfortune. In modern vernacular it is any double or look-alike of a person. (wiki)
I've read a story about seeing your double would mean your death or an omen of bad things to come but I've heard another story told to me by my cousin about the doppelganger. She and her brother was renting a run-down apartment in the city and she had uneasy feelings about the place. One night she woke up to get a glass of water and went down stairs. To her surprise she saw her brother staring at the blank wall. She wondered why her brother was at home when he said he was staying at his friends house for the night. She new something was not right and grabbed her brother's arm to get his attention. To her shock it felt really cold and when "it" turned its head to her it looked dead. She ran back to her room. She called her brother through her cellphone and to her surprise her brother wasn't home yet.
Nothing bad happened to her brother but who or what did she encounter that night?

I never heard of anything like that before. Is there another name for it...astro something?
I would totally freak out when I see one. I hope that day would not come. I was glad my cousin was alright. Old people in our family who new about my cousin's encounter warned her that she should be careful and be watchful of her health. They said that touching "them" physically had strange effects; nightmares, sickness, etc., something like that.
I have friends who will swear up and down they have seen a doppelganger, who turned out to be a lady I was renting a room from. These grown men were deathly afraid of her.
