Jon and Julio talk about Doppelgangers, both the spooky shapeshifters of DnD and the bad-omen phantoms of European folklore. We explore some even weirder doppelganger variants from other cultures, and then go over some of the weirdest Doppelganger sightings in recorded history. Are Doppelgangers the ghosts of living people? Psychic projections? Time echoes? Or something even more sinister?
