In this episode, Christy and Kathy launch their “Cryptid Files” series by tackling the doppelganger phenomenon, defining it as an unexplained double of a living person rather than a simple lookalike. They debate whether doppelgangers are spiritual entities, warnings, and death omens, or whether they can be explained through neuropsychology, perception errors in peripheral vision, stress, illness, sleep deprivation, medication effects, and temporal-lobe-related hallucinations. Drawing on paranormal investigation experiences, they contrast doppelganger reports with residual and intelligent hauntings. The episode reviews historical and literary cases. They also discuss modern “doppelgangers” captured on security cameras and video calls, emphasizing technology glitches, and the role of fear and folklore.
