INTRODUCTION

Are you familiar with doppelgangers? Have you seen your doppelganger or have you seen the doppelganger of someone you know? Are you ready if one day, when you were alone in a dark place, you saw your shadow double?

THE FIRST ENCOUNTER

One evening, me and my two cousins namely: Jessa and Athena, were in the bedroom. I was sitting on Athena's bed, facing her, and we were conversing. A few minutes later, Tita called Jessa, who was lying on my bed, and then she left the bedroom. However, she turned the lights off before leaving the room. Even though all I could see in the dark was Athena's silhouette, I did not give the darkness any thought.

I carried on speaking with her. She was just smiling there while we were conversing; she didn't say anything. I took a break for a while because of her strange behavior. I'm getting a little uneasy about it. But later on, though, I chose to ignore her strange behavior and carry on with my story.

She was strange, though, at that moment. She is simply grinning and unresponsive to anything I say. I told her, "Hey, Athena! Are you listening to me?" and gave her a kick i her foot. I was shocked when I felt nothing but the bedsheets when I supposedly kick her. But I'm positive I saw her feet on mine, but I didn't feel them wen I kicked her.

Then I turned to face her again, and this time, her smile turned sly and gave me the chills. I screamed and fled the room as quickly as I could as a result. Upon arriving at the living room, I noticed Jessa, Tita, and Athena. Watching TV while seated, I was so terrified that I couldn't speak.

THE SECOND ENCOUNTER

The story I am about to tell you now is about my second encounter with Athena's doppelganger. At the time, I was watching TV on the sofa. The bedroom door is located on the right side of the sofa. Peripheral vision allowed me to see that Athena had emerged from her room, and that's when I realized I had to follow her because I needed to tell her something important.

She was heading for the kitchen's tiny room. She was heading toward my brother's room, so I'm not sure what she's going to do there. "Athena, hold on; I have something to tell you." I said. As I pulled open the door, nobody was there. I admit that I became scared and perplexed at the same time.

I made the decision to head back to the living room because no one else was there, and as I got there,  noticed Athena emerge from her room, the REAL Athena. "Did you call for me?" She asked. I was speechless.

THE THIRD ENCOUNTER

I was in the living room with Athena. The same thing happened. We both noticed it this time. Something tat is eerily similar to Athena has emerged from her bedroom and is making its way toward the tiny kitchen room. We saw it by our peripheral vision, both of us

We turned to face each other right away and asked, "Did you see it?". I'm not quite sure if my other cousins have experienced the same thing. Since they are still residing in that house and I didn't want to frighten them, I didn't bother to ask.

THE END

This is a true story that happened on someone I know. I will share another horror stories of them next time.
