My name is Stephanie. I am 23 years old. Well, my husband and I have been living in our apartment for three years now. We have three little girls. They are destiny who is four, Madison is three and June is six months old. Many strange things have been occurring in our apartment since I was pregnant with my baby June.
The first thing is that my older daughter’s Destiny and Madison had to sleep in the same crib because my oldest, Destiny, broke hers. Well one night me and my husband were sleeping and I woke up suddenly and looked over to my daughter’s crib and I saw someone standing up at the edge of the crib looking at us. At first I thought it was my oldest daughter Destiny because whatever it was seemed to have the same tall, skinny features as my daughter. I got up to get her to lie back down, but when I did get up I looked in the crib and both my babies were covered and fast asleep.
The second incident was again in the middle of the night. My youngest daughter June was two months old, and I had gone to bed early. My husband stayed up late watching TV in the living room, and didn’t want to wake any of us up so slept on the couch. Well, at this point we had just bought my daughter Destiny her toddler bed, and Madison still slept in her crib. Well, I had suddenly awoke, and I saw what at the time was my daughter Destiny get off her bed, and went over to Madison’s crib and was looking in there. I got up and was going to get mad at her because I didn’t want her to wake Madison up. When I got to her bed I saw that she was covered and fast asleep. It freaked me out. My husband didn’t believe me.
Than we were standing by our breakfast bar about 10 pm talking, and he stopped what he was saying and went to the bathroom. He came back pale, and said you’re not going to believe it. He said he thought he saw Destiny go into the bathroom, and went in there and no one was there. He said he was going to get mad at her because she was suppose to be asleep, and when he went in there Destiny was fast asleep. He said, “I swear I saw a little girl go in the bathroom.”
Whatever it is seems to be attracted to Destiny because all the times that we have seen this thing it always is around her. We have even mistaken it for our daughter. The weirdest part is that my brother in law came to bring my nephew over to play with my daughters, and I was taking pictures of all of them. On one of the pictures there was an orb, and I had took a picture a second before that and there was nothing there. All in all whatever it is, is seriously freaking me out.

That would be such a mind trip to see someone you know walking around but its not really them. Interesting…
wow thats scary you should try and see the history in the house maybe it will give you a clue to who she might be.
Well, what ever it is, I hope it wont disturb you for long time, and surely, it wont become more serious then that. I hope it ends up in good way.
Yea that would freak out anybody. Have you tried communicating with her. Get a psychic or somebody that has experience to help you. She sounds inocent to me and might just need help to move on. I hope that it all works out for you.
I hope it isn’t a doppleganger, those are death omens!
Since the spirit is around Destiny, does she ever talk to an imaginary friend?
This is super freaky! Why would you stay there still? At least change units within the apartment building. Destiny might be at risk for something evil. That would be the last thing anyone wanted!
Wow! It does sound like a doppelganger, but I did not know they were death omens. I’m gonna do some research on that.
Kassie, it’s not always that easy to move. It costs a lot of money.
Thank you for your story, Stephanie! That is really creepy.
This is one definition that I found.
A doppelgänger (De-doppelgaenger.ogg pronunciation (help·info)) is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation.
In the vernacular, the word “doppelgänger” has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person’s friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one’s own doppelgänger is an omen of death, or results in immediate death upon the two coming face to face. In Norse mythology, a vardøger is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance.
I guess I did know about the death omen of seeing your own. My memory needed jarring. The rest in interesting.
If you see her again, try not to be scared (easier said than done, I know). Try to look closely at her face to see if she looks like your daughter. What caught my attention is that you said you saw Destiny get out of her bed and go over to Junes, but when you got to her she was asleep in her bed. That makes me think the girl is a doppelganger.
Don’t let this information upset you. None of us know for sure. These are just ideas. But keep us posted!
freaky story……
I’ve heard of a Chinese girl who eventually did see her own doppelganger and it didn’t end pretty for her. Then again, what you saw might not be a doppelganger.. could be just something else that was already in that house or just got in…whatever. Dear, please do get professional help. All the best.
Maybe it’s an Angel? Sounds a little less scary than the Doppleganger explaination!
I think i know what it is. It maybe Desitny’s Guardian Angel. A guardian angel is the exact same looking as u r but it is like a ghost (but it is related to what u do) It watches out for u and makes sure u r ok but when u get older the guardian angel won’t hav to take care of u any more for it knows u can take care of ur self. If u don’t know how it is sent it is sent by a god in heaven. I hope this info helps
Astral projection? since it came from her.
All i can say is spend more time with her. and talk to her more. play with her and dont get mad at her or yell at her again. Ever. just talk it out. you and your husband seem to get mad at you children if they do not follow rules. just talk to them. and Destiny and Madison might be a little jelous of June. especaily Destiny since she is older and more developed mentally.
shocks…… i was freaked out ……..
whoa…creepy…well the girl seems kind enough tho lookin more into the situation wuldnt hurt
good luck!
Dear Stephanine,
Thank you for sharing your story.
I am thinking along the lines of astral projection.
Is Destiny a deep sleeper?
Having had my own astral projection experiences, I would think that this is a better
explanation for what you and your husband have witnessed.
You may want to do some research into astral projection.
Don’t be afraid; be curious and find out all you can.
Please keep us informed.
very creepy story i would be freaked out seeing your daughter is so young. Pray to Jesus Christ to protect your family because none of us are exactly sure what it is.
to Liz:
please tell us about the chinese girl who saw her own doppelganger. that peeked my interest. thanks
wow!! what a trip but i don’t think that whatever or whoever is an “evil” spirit becasue she would have done something already..try finding out the history of your apartment , maybe you’ll find you’re answer there
wow ! this is a nice story!
