Oh, you're asking a serious question? I thought you're just mocking me.

Nope, not mocking :)

I do know a little about them. If dopplegangers really do exist, then I definitely have one Most of the time, when I'm introduced to someone new, they will say "Oh you look just like my blah blah So And So!"
Maybe I'm just generic looking. (not fishing for compliments, just rationalizing)

No, never heard of them. I live in South East Asia. I know about tuyul, genderuwo, jin, kuntilanak, and other things that you probably never heard of as well.

Is this common?

Did you see your reflection in your window?

Wikipedia describes it as "a paranormal double of a living person, representing evil and misfortune." Is there an equal to this in your culture? I have pinay friends who believe in dopplegangers.

Ah yes, I understand. We don't have the name for that, as I remember, we just call it mystic twin or something like that.

It's actually a Qarrin or some genie that takes form of a living person, just like they do that to the dead person.

Yes. The English word for that is Genie.

I don't think any of the questions I have about ghosts could ever be answered, but I wish they could. I feel better lately though, I had a talk with my neighbor a few days ago. I asked her if anything.. strange ever happened in her apartment. And the same things happen there that happen in mine. Including things being put into odd piles. Like a stack of figurines. Out of the blue, on a chair. And things being put places that I didn't put them, like plates in the washing machine. (which my daughter cannot open) And voices.. which thankfully my boyfriend heard too while he was here. And footsteps, and things moving in my apartment while i'm looking at them.

I wish there were answers, but I guess it's something I'll just have to live with. Although I know a lot of people will probably think I'm insane or blame it on something stupid like my fan.
