Seperated At Birth

In the German vernacular, "Doppelgänger" has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person.

They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck.

In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death.

In Norse mythology, a vardøger is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance.
