The term doppelganger, or normally was written as doppleganger and doppelgaenger, came German that was the combination from words doppel (double) and ganger (walker). This term was used to describe a ghost's noose that have an appearance really resembled someone, but more often was connected with bad twins belonging to each individual. The term doppelganger also was used to depict the incident where someone saw himself in the real shape and not the reflection. Several mythology had often related about this creature. For example to be vardoger that was met in mythology the Norse nation, the ghost that his characteristics be the same as doppelganger where this creature took the form as well as had same movements precisely with the person who was imitated by him.
The reflection was the main characteristics to distinguish original humankind with doppelganger, where the phony twin is usually depicted did not have the reflection at the mirror or water. Doppelganger usually gave the suggestion or advice to the person who was imitated by him but took the form of the directive that pervert. They could also create the idea and distributed to casualties or relatives of the person who was imitated with the aim of making them confuse. In several cases, the person who saw his mystical twins personally (although just once) then he will continue was haunted by this noose. The incident saw doppelganger also normally was interpreted as the bad sign. If that saw doppleganger was relatives or the friend then that was the sign that the person who was imitated by him will suffer was sick or was threatened by the danger. If the person saw doppelganger -him himself, that was the sign that he will die in the near future. His article, doppelganger was known often brought bad think and communicated with them was the determined action!! Doppelganger in the fiction Work
Doppelganger emerged with many variations in various works of fiction, from the The Double novel, Season of Migration and The North the Fyodor Dostoyevsky work, to Invisibel Man the work of Ralph Ellison. In the package was simplest, doppelganger was the case where being gotten by the misunderstanding would the identity someone. In the Twelft Night novel and A Tale o Two Cities for example, doppelganger not was depicted like the ghost but relatives who had the face that really identical, or the person who by chance had the same face although not having blood relations. Now in the smelly story mystical, doppelganger generally had the bad characteristics. The twin will carry out the previous crime escaped, so as the original person will be stricken by charges of the crime that not done by him. There is also related that narrated the doppelganger until tried to kill his twins so that could exis completely. 
The other version from doppelganger in the world of fiction was shapeshifter, the creature who could change himself into anyone. There is also that tell about that shapeshifter was an anomaly race that had the capacity copied that was extraordinary. It was heterogenous that the work of literature have nuances science fiction tried to explain the phenomenon doppelganger with many methods that were felt more logical. Like match him with cloning, the dual existence resulting from time travel or parrallel universe. In other words, doppelganger actually not the mystical noose but 2 same people but came from the dimension of time or the world that the difference. The appearance Doppelganger in history.
The Emilie Sagee case was one of the reports on the emergence doppelganger most phenomenal because of being witnessed by 10 people more. This report was written by Robert Dale Owen with the informant Julie von Guldenstubbe, a descendant aristocrat Latvian. Told that during 1845, Von Guldenstubbe that at that time was 13 years with other pupils who were numbering between 13 to 42 people, old witnessed his teacher who was named Emilie Sagee emerging at noon in his school, Pensionat von Neuwelcke. In fact at that time the teacher must him was middle lie down because of being seriously ill!! 
Several of twins's actions sagee that it was reported was:
- Imitated the method writing and eating but did not hold anything in his hand. 
- Emerge with display very healthy now sagee was sick serious. 
- Emerge with the complete body but could not be touched. One of the pupils yang tried to touch him even went penetrated passed the body the doppelganger. 

Nooses doppelganger, apart from emerging in the middle of the normal community, also had approached big people in the history. In two versions of the biography, Abraham Lincoln had then seen twins himself. For example in the version of Carl Sanburg where after in translated, was written: 
A strange dream or the illusion haunted Lincoln in a cold season. In a night through the general election period, LIncoln lay downed himself in a sofa at his home, not long after a telegram dated November 6 reported choosen him he as the President. When resting, Lincoln gazed at a mirror that was opposite him then saw himself, but with two faces. This matter distrub him, then when he got up, this shadow disappeared; but emerged again when Lincoln again lay down. It was same, two faces, where that more than one pale from that was other. Lincoln got again up, still sank in the sensation won the general election, forgot for a moment the shadow. But the phenomenon of the dual appearance himself continued to emerge and haunt himself. Lincoln reported his wife concerning this matter. Several days after him Lincoln tried saw came back, the shadow with his two faces emerged for the last time. After the torque, the mysterious noose of twins's shadow had not emerged again. Lincoln again said to his wife that he felt this appearance was the sign that he will come back was chosen in the second general election, but the pale face indicated that he will not live long in the period led both of them. 
In fact the shadow that was seen by Lincoln was doppelganger, this matter was still being doubted. Another opinion for this case was that Lincoln suffered vertical strabismus in the eyes of left him, a deviation that could obscure display the vertical object.

Scientific investigation, Psychological and PhilosophicalIn September 2006 was reported that Shahar Arzy and several of his colleagues from University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland, found the cause of the phenomenon doppelganger with the road to stimulate the patient's brain with the wave electromagnetic. He applied electric stimulation in the branch part of the brain temporo parietal left-hand to a female patient who was asked to lie. The patient felt the presence of the other person in extra personal space. Unlike the epilepsy sufferer who indeed often was treated in this place, this female patient really healthy. The twins of him that was depicted by the patient had display younger, unclear the man or the woman, did not move, with posture that resembled himself. The person was exact behind, in fact almost touched himself!! Second electric stimulation was applied with the level of the higher intensity where the position of the patient stayed lying with the hands that were tied. This time the patient felt the presence of a man that held his hand was very tight!! Finally, in the position sat, electric stimulation again was carried out when the patient was asked to complete a series of language test with one set of the card. The patient felt the presence of the other person who sat behind and asked for himself to not read!!

Arzy concluded that when the branch part temporo parietal was disturbed then the presence sensation of the other person who like the sufferer will emerge. He explained that the phenomenon doppelganger could be triggered by the mental deviation like schizophrenia, that was continuous with paranoia and the delusion. Briefly, the phenomenon doppelganger possibly was caused by the existence of the disturbance in the branch temporo parietal on the left.
