This week’s story was sent to us by a member of our community named Bill. He had this experience during an investigation at the Famous St. Albans Sanatorium in Radford, Virginia. This occurred during July of 2022.
I was with my group on an investigation at St Albans, I was watching the monitors with the group and two of the ladies came back from where they were supposed to be. I was sitting there watching them on the camera and heard them coming down the hallway. This struck me as very odd since they hadn’t moved. They were still in the room where they were supposed to be. At the same time they came up and looked at me and said “I’ve seen people”, then they turned around and walked back. There were 3 other people in our group that witnessed this. I can’t really explain what happened but it was incredibly freaky! We are pretty sure they were doppelgangers.
Thanks Bill for sending us this story! I have heard of people witnessing doppelgangers at St Albans in the past. For those unfamiliar with the phenomenon, doppelgangers appear in the paranormal folklore quite often. They are a person’s double and are usually a bad omen and it is thought that if a person sees their own doppelganger, they will most likely die shortly after.
