Does anyone know what a synonym for "doppelganger" is?

I know that I read the word in a novel by Dessen (either Just Listen or This Lullaby ). I am almost positive it started with a "P" like pirguet (looked like this- dont even think this is a real word...) or something. I don't know. But I really would like to find out. So please help me out if you don't mind.Does anyone know what a synonym for "doppelganger" is?
An apparition or double of a living person.



Here's a little more information:



A doppelg盲nger is the ghostly double of a living person, adapted from German Doppelg盲nger (look-alike). The word comes from doppel meaning "double" and g盲nger 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.



Alternatively, the word is used to describe a phenomenon where you catch your own image out of the corner of your eye.



Phenomenon is the only "P" word I can think of to describe the experience of a doppelganger.



FYI: Bilocation is the phenomenon of being in two places at the same time.
Doppelganger is a German word that, translated literally, would mean "double walker." There is not a word in the English language that means the same.Does anyone know what a synonym for "doppelganger" is?
