EP 97: "Double Trouble" — A Doppelgänger Deep Dive

Have you ever locked eyes with someone who looked exactly like you? Or heard the old superstition that seeing your double means death is near? This week, we’re pulling back the veil on one of folklore’s creepiest figures: the doppelgänger.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes themes of death, folklore, paranormal encounters, and unsettling psychological experiences. Listener discretion advised.

After weeks buried in BTK, we needed a palate cleanse… so naturally, we went for haunted history, Reddit rabbit holes, and stories that’ll make you side-eye your reflection.

From ancient Egyptian soul doubles to chilling Reddit encounters of people meeting sinister versions of their loved ones, we trace the lore of doppelgängers through myth, literature, and spine-tingling real-world accounts. Even Abraham Lincoln makes an appearance in the lineup of unsettling sightings.

If you thought “celebrity lookalikes” were the whole story, think again. Doppelgängers have always carried a darker meaning—and these tales might just keep you up tonight.

“That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.”
