I am sure all of you have gone though that amazing feelings when you see someone looking exactly like your friend or sister od even you. There are millions of people living on various part of the earth and there are many chances that some of them resembles you.
And that person may not be your family member but a complete stranger having your nose shape, eyebrow arch and eye color..
Interestingly you are not separated at birth. You might just have a twin.
A doppelganger (German for “double walker”) is a person who looks incredibly similar to you. And that person is similar instead of “identical,” given that even genetic identical twins aren’t actually perfect doubles.
Well, nowadays almost everyone has social media profiles.
If you wanted to find your doppelganger before the Internet, you could end up wandering the streets for years awkwardly peering at strangers. Now, the web is stocked with images of billions of people, many offering multiple angles of their face for better comparison.
This originally was the idea of three friends to make such a website where people can find their twins; they didn’t even need to leave their apartments in Ireland.
Niamh Geaney, Terence Manzanga and Harry English started the “Twin Strangers” project, a challenge to find their near-identical counterparts in 28 days. They made a website and accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, all with the same request: Do you know someone who looks like one of us?
Two weeks later, they were bombarded with more than 6,000 messages a day. All, requesting to find out who looks like them.
Geaney herself found out another girl who looks exactly like her. And what was even more interesting was that the ladies, Geaney and her twin loved to draw fairies in their childhood. Meaning, your stranger twin may have the same traits.
