Comments for Doppleganger Encounter: Page 1

If you don't mind my asking, what part of Missouri are you in and what graveyard did you visit?

Also, another possibility regarding the, um, stuff in the shower -- could your toilet be backing up and flooding it with sewage? I lived in a converted, detached garage when I was in college and it had that exact problem.

Val has good ideas (as always) both about getting a sample tested!

I didn't said I was an expert. I just want to point out to be careful.

grench, ok... Your tale is weird (and I mean that in a nice way.) Let's take the feces first. Are you positive that no animal can access your bathroom? What I'm going to suggest will sound gross, but next time it happens, scoop up a sample and take it to animal control. Tell them you'd like to know if there's cause for alarm as you find it in the shower, and there is no reason for it to be there, and you'd like to know if some nocturnal animal is paying you a visit. If they can say it's raccoon or something of the ilk, they can also advise you on how to stop it. If they say it isn't from an animal, at least you've ruled that out. Have you noticed changes in your cat's behavior? These can be indicators of many things depending on what they are.
I don't think your girlfriend's experience was related to the graveyard trip. Although many cultures do seem to believe that one can attract and be followed home by a spirit that way. Except for that singular experience (and the poop) have you noticed anything else - peculiar? Since she was in the shower (I assume the water was on?) she could have simply mistaken the voice as yours. For example: it was a male voice, and you're the only male she expects to hear, so she assumed it was you. She only caught a 'glimpse' of your smile (unless you have a really unique smile) again you are whom she expected and her mind registered it as you. What I'm suggesting is, this could possibly not be a doppelgänger, but some other experience.

grench - I have to disagree with Silene's comment. This is the best thing about this forum, we all have our opinions and advice. This is just my opinion, but no one is an expert in this field. Some people may be more experienced than others, but no one should claim to be an expert in the paranormal. There are far too many unknowns out there for anyone to say that.

There are many doppelganger stories on here, as I'm sure you have discovered. Doppelgangers are quite intriguing and don't always fit the same pattern in every experience.

I can't say that I agree that you or your girlfriend brought something home by doing a ghost hunt in a graveyard. If that was the case, I'd have brought a doppelganger home with me 😉, as would many other people. But, as I said, we all have our opinions here. Mine is just different than Silene's. You're going to have to form yours based on your experience and what advice you receive, what your research yields, and how it feels to you.

Hi!

Your girlfriend did something she can't handle. To go on ghost hunt without beeing an expert is not good. Why? Because she carried "something" with her that followed her home. Spirits get "invited" that way and now you are going to have unwanted visits at your home. Please do not attempt ouija board and try to contact the entity, it can give you more problems. Try to get rid of the spirit or get help.
