Welcome to Paranormal Nightshift, where we delve into spine-tingling tales of the unexplained. In today’s episode, get ready to be captivated by “The Cyber Doppelganger.” As the pandemic forced us into remote work, one individual’s life takes a chilling turn. Picture this: a tyrannical boss, Angela, becomes an even greater nightmare when she gains the freedom to work from home. Endless Zoom calls, erratic requests, and eerie virtual encounters ensue.
Our storyteller found themselves trapped in a perplexing situation. Always logged in, they notice an unsettling pattern. Angela’s digital presence doesn’t always match the real her. A ponytail when it should be a bun, different attire, and inexplicable emails sent and denied. Suspicions arise as they suspect a mimic living in Angela’s home, mimicking her every move.
When Angela announces her absence for a week, the tension escalates. At 7:00 AM, she reappears on Zoom, seemingly oblivious to her virtual twin. A baffling call to her reveals the shocking truth – she’s on vacation, unaware of the eerie doppelganger in her midst.
Now the question remains: how to confront an unseen mimic, lurking in plain sight yet invisible to its host? Are doppelgangers mere specters, or do they pose a more sinister threat? We’re left pondering these chilling enigmas.

Today’s story The cyber
3
00:00:06,400 –> 00:00:09,800
doppelganger during COVID, my
company, like most companies,
4
00:00:09,800 –> 00:00:14,040
started going remote and we had
to have zoom and meeting calls
5
00:00:14,040 –> 00:00:17,520
that way.
Angela, my boss, was a tyrant in
6
00:00:17,520 –> 00:00:21,520
the office so you can imagine
how horrible she was when she
7
00:00:21,520 –> 00:00:23,160
had the freedom to be at the
house.
8
00:00:23,320 –> 00:00:25,200
If anything, COVID made it
worse.
9
00:00:25,550 –> 00:00:28,750
We’d get phone calls at all
hours of the day to finish
10
00:00:28,750 –> 00:00:32,750
certain tasks or do things like
that, and she would always want
11
00:00:32,750 –> 00:00:36,590
us to log in at the same time.
Like we were kids at school.
12
00:00:36,790 –> 00:00:39,710
She’d have meetings scheduled
that we had to be there for.
13
00:00:39,950 –> 00:00:43,230
It went on this way for months.
It got to the point to where I
14
00:00:43,230 –> 00:00:47,070
just started logging on early.
I never really left the meetings
15
00:00:47,070 –> 00:00:48,950
that way.
If she was around, I could just
16
00:00:48,950 –> 00:00:51,750
be there, had my computer always
on kind of thing.
17
00:00:51,950 –> 00:00:56,030
One morning we’d had a meeting
at 8:00, so I clocked in about
18
00:00:56,030 –> 00:01:00,830
7:30 and there she was, sure
enough, just setting, doing her
19
00:01:00,830 –> 00:01:02,910
thing.
I spoke to her and she didn’t
20
00:01:02,910 –> 00:01:06,950
say anything, and I messaged her
inside Zoom because maybe her
21
00:01:07,030 –> 00:01:10,670
thing was on mute.
No response, just sitting there
22
00:01:10,870 –> 00:01:15,150
staring blankly at the screen.
I saw her get up and and leave,
23
00:01:15,550 –> 00:01:18,350
and then it was time for the
meeting and she came back
24
00:01:18,790 –> 00:01:22,230
wearing different clothes.
Hey, I know this sounds weird,
25
00:01:22,230 –> 00:01:25,200
but did you change for the
meeting?
26
00:01:25,200 –> 00:01:27,960
What are you talking about?
I legitimately just got here.
27
00:01:27,960 –> 00:01:29,640
What do you need?
What are you talking about?
28
00:01:29,640 –> 00:01:32,760
Changing clothes?
I didn’t think anything of it.
29
00:01:33,280 –> 00:01:38,400
But then it kept happening.
Anytime I kept my zoom on, who I
30
00:01:38,400 –> 00:01:41,480
thought was her would be sitting
at her computer.
31
00:01:42,160 –> 00:01:45,000
Then she would come on and it
would be something else.
32
00:01:45,680 –> 00:01:48,760
But the thing, the thing that
set at her computer that looked
33
00:01:48,760 –> 00:01:52,720
just like her always had
something slightly off.
34
00:01:53,030 –> 00:01:56,510
A ponytail if she was wearing a
bun, or the thing would be in a
35
00:01:56,510 –> 00:02:01,710
ponytail if she had a bun.
It just was never 100% right.
36
00:02:01,910 –> 00:02:05,310
We started getting emails from
her that she claimed that she
37
00:02:05,310 –> 00:02:10,750
never sent, task that made no
sense at all, that again, she
38
00:02:10,750 –> 00:02:14,950
would claim that she never sent.
I finally had a conversation
39
00:02:14,950 –> 00:02:19,070
with another coworker and I said
I think she has a mimic living
40
00:02:19,070 –> 00:02:21,900
in her house.
Like there is something that
41
00:02:21,900 –> 00:02:25,140
looks like her that is doing
things that she would do that’s
42
00:02:25,540 –> 00:02:29,780
not her.
This is a very tyranty woman so
43
00:02:30,340 –> 00:02:33,580
I didn’t figure she would be
messing with us like this.
44
00:02:34,220 –> 00:02:36,980
Anyway, we got an e-mail that
she was going to be out of town
45
00:02:37,260 –> 00:02:40,380
and that she wasn’t going to be
doing Zoom meetings for that
46
00:02:40,380 –> 00:02:45,260
week, so we all felt great.
I, like I said, always had the
47
00:02:45,260 –> 00:02:49,100
Zoom link up because I’m not
super tech savvy and I just
48
00:02:49,100 –> 00:02:52,380
wanted to leave it there so we
knew that she was out of town.
49
00:02:52,900 –> 00:02:57,380
Sure enough, 7:00 in the
morning, there she is sitting at
50
00:02:57,380 –> 00:03:00,700
her desk, just sitting, staring
blankly into the screen.
51
00:03:01,180 –> 00:03:04,700
I was getting kind of concerned
at this point, so I called her
52
00:03:05,020 –> 00:03:08,420
and she picked up and she was at
the beach.
53
00:03:08,780 –> 00:03:11,940
She was said I’m on vacation,
why are you calling me?
54
00:03:12,660 –> 00:03:15,740
I Facetimed her and showed her
and her jaws dropped.
55
00:03:16,500 –> 00:03:20,610
She saw it just like I did.
A fake Angela.
56
00:03:21,450 –> 00:03:24,610
The problem is we don’t know
what to do.
57
00:03:25,050 –> 00:03:29,050
This thing is clearly in her
house and she doesn’t see it,
58
00:03:29,050 –> 00:03:32,330
but the rest of us do.
What would you do in this
59
00:03:32,330 –> 00:03:35,050
situation?
How do you get rid of a mimic?
60
00:03:35,450 –> 00:03:39,850
And are doppelgangers dangerous?
