Doppelganger: what is it?

I've read a lot of different definitions on what a doppleganger is. Some say it is an evil twin and others say it is just the ghost of a living person. Some sites say that they haunt their living counter part and others say that if the two meet they both die. Can anyone give me a straight answer about what a doppelganger is?Doppelganger: what is it?
Doppelganger is the German term for body double.

I have lived in Germany for the past 25 years and am fluent in German.



In Ramsen we have a doppelganger of Hulk Hogan. He needs no make up or anything else. He is officially authorized to appear in parades or at other functions such as at sport studios.

The person simply appears to be a twin of another person.

Generally it is natural although it is not uncommon for politicians and movie stars to have someone hired to stand in for them when they are to make a show at social functions, when necessary cosmetics are used. We have all seen a stand in on the movie screen. This is also a doppelganger.



To claim it is an evil twin, would that make the other person evil also? They would be considered a doppelganger to the one they consider the doppelganger. Some people believe that for every person there is at least one other that looks just like them somewhere in the world.



Some people attempt to use foreign terms, even incorrectly to make themselves and their stories sound more interesting or important. To say ones 'evil twin' sounds too much like Hollywood and a ghost is considered the spirit of a deceased person, if they were living it would be their spirit in astral projection or a Out of Body Experience.



Which term sounds more authoritative and/or believable to you?Doppelganger: what is it?
Hello,

The word most commonly refers to someone who looks surprisingly similar to another person. It was an old French, German legend about spirits coming to Earth, looking like others in order to usurp their lives.

It is just a legend based on natural phenomenon.



Thank you for your question.Doppelganger: what is it?
I have always heard it as someone that looks exactly the same as another person. Nothing evil or paranormal, simply an unknown and unrelated twin of a person.
