And the verdict is....

indecisive.

Yeah, I said it. I STILL do not know what to believe, and I can come up with an actual decision right now. With the little evidence that I could find, I'm still pretty clueless on my picking sides on this supernatural phenomenon. My encounter with my brother's so-called "doppelganger" plays a huge part in my decision of being indecisive. I want to believe it's not real, but I don't want to seem crazy. I saw what I saw! And I'm not the only one. The many other stories of people just like me who have encountered a doppleganger also play the other role of me wanting believe that it's actually true.

So I'm going to leave it at this...

It doesn't matter what I believe, because you already have your set belief on whether a doppelganger is real or not. Or, you probably never knew what a doppelganger was until this blog. We are human, we are stubborn, we don't want people to choose our beliefs for us; so we believe what we want to believe. Whether a doppelganger is real of not, because I don't really know; you can make that own choice for yourself.

Evidence

After hours of searching for evidence on doppelgangers, I found very little that neither supported that doppelgangers were real nor that doppelgangers were fake. Most, almost all evidence were stories of everyday normal people who have encountered a doppelganger and stories throughout history of doppelganger encounter(like the stories on my last post). I stumbled upon one story, well more like an investigation, where a team of paranormal ghost hunters were investigating a home that was supposedly haunted in Ellicott City, Maryland. In their investigation report of EVP's, that reported that they had hear voices similar to the voice of the women who lived there and that she may be haunted by her own ghostly doppelganger(Scott).
While researching another website, they reported the "Scientists at the University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland discovered that electrical stimulation of the brain, used to treat epilepsy, can produce the sensation of a doppelganger's presence in the patient"(Harrison). Well I'm not epileptic nor were the historical figures in my previous post, but it's some of the little evidence I found.
