If you see another person that
looks identical to you, run away
2
00:00:04,160 –> 00:00:06,240
and hide.
Welcome to paranormal night
3
00:00:06,240 –> 00:00:08,920
shift your home for all things
that go bump in the dark and
4
00:00:08,920 –> 00:00:12,600
your fan stories told here.
Day story comes from Jess and
5
00:00:12,600 –> 00:00:14,760
Catherine and it’s called the
Doppelganger.
6
00:00:15,240 –> 00:00:17,600
My husband and I both worked
crazy schedules.
7
00:00:17,600 –> 00:00:20,880
Both of us were on night shift,
but both of us were on different
8
00:00:20,880 –> 00:00:24,400
rotations, so we only ever
really saw each other throughout
9
00:00:24,400 –> 00:00:26,930
the day.
It was kind of a weird schedule,
10
00:00:26,930 –> 00:00:29,250
but at the time it was what we
had to do to be able to make
11
00:00:29,250 –> 00:00:32,490
everything work.
He’d come home and I’d be asleep
12
00:00:32,490 –> 00:00:36,050
on the couch, or I’d come home
and he’d be asleep on the couch,
13
00:00:36,050 –> 00:00:39,290
vice versa.
It was what it was for the time,
14
00:00:39,530 –> 00:00:42,610
and it didn’t leave a lot of
time for mommy and daddy alone.
15
00:00:42,610 –> 00:00:44,890
Time.
I hate to say it, but you should
16
00:00:44,890 –> 00:00:47,330
never get to that point in a
relationship to where you can’t
17
00:00:47,330 –> 00:00:50,170
remember the last time that you
were actual intimate with your
18
00:00:50,170 –> 00:00:52,810
partner.
But Needless to say, we were
19
00:00:52,810 –> 00:00:56,760
going through a dry spell, so we
decided to make a conscious
20
00:00:56,800 –> 00:01:00,560
effort to try to fix that.
I was ready to start a family.
21
00:01:01,160 –> 00:01:03,800
I knew that once we had a baby,
I could find a new job and
22
00:01:03,800 –> 00:01:06,480
everything would kind of go to
the way we wanted it to be.
23
00:01:06,920 –> 00:01:11,200
We started scheduling our little
hookup sessions, but during the
24
00:01:11,200 –> 00:01:15,000
course of our sessions is when
we started noticing weird
25
00:01:15,160 –> 00:01:18,520
things.
Our time frames and our actual
26
00:01:18,520 –> 00:01:22,440
times of seeing each other
didn’t seem to add up anymore.
27
00:01:22,820 –> 00:01:24,580
Like I said, we worked a night
shift.
28
00:01:24,580 –> 00:01:27,260
It was just the two of us.
But he would come into the
29
00:01:27,260 –> 00:01:31,700
bedroom during the day and we
would have our fun time just
30
00:01:31,780 –> 00:01:35,100
after to have fun time to find
him asleep on the couch.
31
00:01:35,660 –> 00:01:38,060
He said the same thing was
happening to him.
32
00:01:38,820 –> 00:01:42,020
He would be asleep on the couch
or in the bed, and I would come
33
00:01:42,020 –> 00:01:46,060
in ready to have fun time just
for him to be in the same
34
00:01:46,060 –> 00:01:49,500
situation to where I wasn’t
where I was supposed to be.
35
00:01:49,660 –> 00:01:53,490
After the fun time happened, it
would be before work or after
36
00:01:53,490 –> 00:01:56,330
work, and then our days off were
always completely different.
37
00:01:57,130 –> 00:01:59,890
But once we started doing math
and actually having
38
00:01:59,890 –> 00:02:03,610
conversations with each other,
we realized that both of us had
39
00:02:03,610 –> 00:02:06,570
days that the other one didn’t
know happened.
40
00:02:07,010 –> 00:02:12,050
As in it happened, but there’s
no way it happened with the
41
00:02:12,050 –> 00:02:14,890
other person.
Yes, when you work night shift,
42
00:02:14,890 –> 00:02:16,770
you do lose track of what day it
is.
43
00:02:17,130 –> 00:02:18,770
Night shifts.
The only people that work
44
00:02:18,770 –> 00:02:22,450
yesterday, today and tomorrow,
all in the same 24 hour period.
45
00:02:23,010 –> 00:02:26,170
But there were certain dates
that just didn’t add up.
46
00:02:26,730 –> 00:02:29,970
We both felt so dirty and
violated.
47
00:02:30,490 –> 00:02:34,010
We knew what we had experienced.
We were there with that person,
48
00:02:34,010 –> 00:02:38,690
but that person wasn’t there.
And then we started talking
49
00:02:38,690 –> 00:02:41,610
about other places and other
things that we had did where the
50
00:02:41,650 –> 00:02:43,770
other person wasn’t there at
all.
51
00:02:44,440 –> 00:02:47,720
He had had full lunches and
dinners with me while I was at
52
00:02:47,720 –> 00:02:52,080
work, and I had had full lunches
and dinners and showers and
53
00:02:52,080 –> 00:02:55,120
intimate time with him while he
was at work.
54
00:02:56,000 –> 00:02:59,680
We realized that we were dealing
with something far more
55
00:02:59,680 –> 00:03:03,600
paranormal than what we thought.
We decided that we needed a code
56
00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:06,560
word, a text or something,
something that we were just
57
00:03:06,560 –> 00:03:09,440
going to text each other.
That way it would never feel
58
00:03:09,440 –> 00:03:13,860
dirty and violated.
I can’t explain to you how weird
59
00:03:13,900 –> 00:03:19,540
the whole situation felt, but
one day I was on the couch and
60
00:03:19,540 –> 00:03:21,420
he was in the kitchen making a
sandwich.
61
00:03:21,940 –> 00:03:24,620
Something about him just felt
off.
62
00:03:25,500 –> 00:03:28,460
I asked him the code word and he
looked at me like I was silly.
63
00:03:28,940 –> 00:03:30,260
Like, what are you talking
about?
64
00:03:30,940 –> 00:03:34,420
We don’t have a code word.
Whatever you are, I need you out
65
00:03:34,420 –> 00:03:37,060
of my house.
Get out of my house.
66
00:03:38,060 –> 00:03:41,100
He didn’t know the code word.
I was speaking to something that
67
00:03:41,100 –> 00:03:44,440
looked like my husband and
looked just like him and acted
68
00:03:44,440 –> 00:03:48,640
like him, but it was like they
had forgotten everything that we
69
00:03:48,640 –> 00:03:51,440
talked about.
The whole goal behind all of
70
00:03:51,440 –> 00:03:55,680
this was become pregnant, and
I’m kind of concerned and happy
71
00:03:55,680 –> 00:04:00,080
to announce that I am, but our
time frames aren’t adding up.
72
00:04:00,800 –> 00:04:02,640
We were dealing with something
paranormal.
73
00:04:02,640 –> 00:04:07,000
And now I’ve become pregnant and
I don’t know if it’s 100% my
74
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:10,600
husband’s or whatever this
doppelganger might be.
75
00:04:11,370 –> 00:04:13,810
No thank you.
No thank you at all.
76
00:04:14,290 –> 00:04:17,050
The idea that something
paranormal could come into your
77
00:04:17,050 –> 00:04:22,130
everyday life and look just like
somebody you truly care for and
78
00:04:22,130 –> 00:04:26,370
then you share intimate
encounters with whatever that
79
00:04:26,370 –> 00:04:29,450
was.
Oh, that that’s a different
80
00:04:29,450 –> 00:04:32,890
level of feeling violated and
feeling dirty.
81
00:04:32,890 –> 00:04:35,490
That I, I, I can’t even think
about that one.
82
00:04:35,970 –> 00:04:38,170
Tell me of the comments what you
thought about this story.
