In this episode we delve into the dark world of Dopplegangers. MLT explores the mythic to the literary, as well as actual accounts from those who met themselves ...and then their doom! We review this global phenomenon by diving deep into the folklore and the relevant theories before attempting to unravel this ancient mystery.
