50 People Share The Time They Randomly Met Their Doppelgängers And It Was Like Looking In A Mirror

They say that there’s about one in 135 chance that a pair of complete doppelgangers exists somewhere in the world. But the odds of meeting someone who looks identical to you is only one in 1 trillion. Highly unlikely, but it could still happen. Well, we have all done a double take when we mistook a random person for someone we know. Although chances are very slim, you may just bump into your lookalike when you least expect it.

Folk wisdom has it that doppelgangers are harbingers of bad luck and even death. According to some folklore, meeting your doppelganger often means that bad luck or death will soon follow. This is why in the olden days, seeing a lookalike is considered a bad omen.  And people would want to avoid seeing them as much as possible. Well, time has changed and some superstitions are no longer taken seriously. And that includes the creepy myth about meeting our identical lookalikes.

Today, people consider it a fortunate encounter when they stumble upon their complete doppelgangers. They would even pose together in photos to commemorate the moment that could only happen one in a trillion. None of these non-biologically related twins have no idea that they would see each other in the most unexpected places. And if it happens to these people, it could also happen to you. Your lookalike may just be seating next to you on a plane, or you may coincidentally meet them at random parties.
