re: Doppelganger Stories

My best friend passed away in his early twenties. It was a tough time for all involved following his death, particularly his mom. It was maybe three weeks or a month at most that I was in a bar/restaurant eating when I looked at the table to the right of me. A guy was sitting with his back to me, and from that angle looked exactly like my friend....same build, haircut, same style of dress....everything. I didn't say a word to the people I was with, got up and walked towards the restroom. I turned and looked back over my shoulder, and that was him. I mean, everything about him looked like my friend. I took a leak and came back to the table. I couldn't stop looking at the guy. It was like I was seeing a ghost.

We hung around a while and so did the group he was with watching some game. It shook me so much, though, that I just left early. That's still one of the strangest feelings I've ever had.
