Dear John:
What is a spirit mimic and how dangerous are they? My friend who’s into the supernatural swears one of these entities is miming her cousin because it’s like she’s not quite exactly herself in small ways. For example, she uses weird language on occasion and has been dressing contrary to her usual style. As far as I know neither my friend or her cousin uses drugs or has any mental problems.I don't think my friend is imagining things but she is getting concerned. I told her she should stop investigating the paranormal but she will not. This has been going on for about a month. That’s all I know about it. I've never heard of this type of thing. Anyway, how do you figure out what's really going on and if so get rid of this type of situation? I'm getting tired of listening to it. Thank you for your time. Louise, ID
Thank you Louise for your question in regards to a spirit mimic. I had to look up this term because I was not familiar with the term spirit mimic. I found the term in a Brad Steiger’s book, "Shadow World , True encounters with beings from the darkside". In chapter six, "The Enigma of Spirit Mimics", he tells of a being or an entity that impersonates a man or woman in order to experience the full range of human emotions. He writes in his book, " I have come to term these entities Spirit Mimics". So this is a name he uses to identify a particular phenomena not necessarily the entity its self. Think about it, there are many entities that can mimic a human and interact with us on a personal level. One comes to mind that could fit the story that you sent a doppelganger, except it is a evil double for the most part. Looking at other entities that may act as a double there is a Vardoger from Norse mythology that is a ghostly double that is seen doing the actions of a living person before the actual person does the action. There is a "Ka" from Egyptian mythology that is a corporal entity that has the same memories and emotions as the person that it is imitating. You could call these entities Spirit Mimics if you did not know that they are called a different name. They could be the same type of entity or different entities all together that could double as a human. Most of these entities are seen for what they are because of the person that is being doubled is seen at the same time or see their own double. There are entities that can cause a person to start acting different, there are not doubles, they affect the person. An attachment like a low astral entity or ghost can cause a person to act differently over time. It is like a mild possession, the entity slowly influences the victim by weakening them first till their defenses are down. If the person in question is a paranormal investigator then an attachment would be at the top of my list of things to look for. You can have an attachment for a while before it starts to try to affect you, so it is a good idea to get cleared mentally and spiritually. From what I have read if it is some type of entity that is impersonating someone you can tell by their eyes that they are not the real person but an entity. This holds true for someone that is possessed or under the influence of an entity, the eyes will be soulless. So it may be hard to tell if it is a double or the person possessed especially from a third party. Investigation into the possibility of a double requires a lot of face time with the person in question. In most cases of a double the real person may never meet up with the double. The double may try to isolate the real person from their family and friends to weaken their defenses so they can take over their life or at lease ruin it. So it is hard to determine if a person is being attacked by a entity like a doppelganger or if it is an attachment type of entity. I do not suggest taking any action against the person or entity for the victim of the situation unless it is requested by the victim. People have been know to change in ways that they cannot emplane when they are working though something in their life. You can support them by asking if they need help or a ear to listen to their problems. If they say that they have not changed run tape when they using the weird language, you can take pictures when they are dressing contrary to their style. Some times simple things like this will help the person that is thought to be a victim to see what you are seeing. I hope that you can pass on to your friend that an actual double is very rare and that attachment can be removed. I hope that this helps you to help your friend with their problem and thank you again Louise for your question.
