Why Do Some People Get ‘Ghost’ or ‘Doppelgänger’ Feelings?

Sometimes, your brain plays tricks on you. Imagine it's dark outside, and you're walking home. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appears, but it looks exactly like you! That’s called the doppelgänger feeling. Or maybe someone disappears right in front of you, that’s the ghost feeling. It happens when your brain thinks something strange is going on.
