Intriguing historical account of a rather extraordinary phenomenon.
"In Miss Estelle Stead’s book, entitled “My Father,” there is a chapter telling of some very remarkable cases of “doubles,” or ghosts, of living people. Miss Stead quotes her father, from an account of his experiences written some time ago, as follows:

Historical accounts of dopplegangers (etheric body doubles)
"Doppelgangers vs. Bilocation
Body doubles, as a paranormal phenomenon, typically manifest themselves in one of two ways.
A doppelganger is a shadow self that is thought to accompany every person. Traditionally, it is said that only the owner of the doppelganger can see this phantom self and that it can be a harbinger of death. A person's friends or family can sometimes see a doppelganger as well. The word is derived from the German term for "double walker."
Bilocation is the psychic ability to project an image of the self in a second location. This body double, known as a wraith, is indistinguishable from the real person and can interact with others just as the real person would.
Ancient Egyptian and Norse mythology both contain references to body doubles. But doppelgangers as a phenomenon, often associated with bad omens, first became popular in the mid-19th century as part of a general surge in the U.S. and Europe in interest in the paranormal."
