Alejandra and her sister Sara encounter a terrifying doppelganger in their home, sparking a chain of eerie events that follow them into adulthood. While Sara’s children experience mysterious sightings of her when she’s not around, strange supernatural occurrences leave the family haunted by the creepy presence of a figure that mimics their mother. 
In this episode, we dive into the chilling world of doppelgangers, also known as mimics or twin strangers, and their role in horror stories. Often seen as harbingers of death, these paranormal doubles appear in folklore, from the Greek myth of Narcissus to Norse and Egyptian legends. The story of Emilie Sagée, a 19th-century teacher haunted by her own double, provides one of the most unsettling accounts of a real-life doppelganger. Her eerie twin was frequently seen mimicking her every move, terrifying students and eventually driving her from job after job.
You will also hear about spooky encounters involving famous historical figures like President Abraham Lincoln and Queen Elizabeth I, both of whom saw their doppelgangers before their deaths. 
If you’re fascinated by horror, mysteries, and the paranormal, this episode offers some of the creepiest stories about unexplained events, mimics, and true scary encounters that will leave you wondering if there's more truth to these legends than we realize.
