Subject: My Friend's Look-Alike

I had an incident that happened way back when I was in high school that has always puzzled me. Some time during the day, my best friend Linda told me she was feeling sick and had called her mom to come bring her home, so she wouldn�t be riding the bus home with me. Later, after school had let out, I was standing in the parking lot waiting for the bus, and I, several feet away, a girl standing by a car talking to some boys. The girl looked EXACTLY like Linda, and was even wearing the same type of coat she had! I was very surprised, because she�d told me she was going home, and she had no reason to lie to me. Plus, if she�d lied about being sick in order to get out of school (which Linda would never had done), why the heck would she have come back to the school to hang out? Even though I was curious, I never got a chance to go over and see who this girl was, because the bus came at that moment.

Later that evening, I went to the school dance. Linda had originally been going to come too, but since she was home sick I went to the dance alone. As I was standing in line waiting to get in the door, I saw, about 10 to 15 feet ahead of me, this same girl who looked just like Linda! Wearing that same coat! Once I got inside the school I looked all around for her, but she was nowhere to be seen. The next time I saw Linda, I told her about it, and she assured me that she had indeed been home sick all afternoon, and that if she�d felt well enough to go to the dance that evening, she�d have called me. We never did figure that one out, and I never saw this �Linda look-alike� again.

I�ve heard stories of something called a �doppelganger� (sp?), an apparation (?) who looks just like someone. Perhaps this was what I�d seen? Has anyone else ever had an experience like this?
