Urban Legends of Seeing Yourself Somewhere Else

Doppelgängers, Double Lives, and the Unsettling Moment You Exist Twice

What happens when someone swears they saw you—while you were nowhere near the place they describe?

Urban Legends of Seeing Yourself Somewhere Else is a collection of eerie, true-feeling short stories where each chapter follows a different encounter with the impossible: a person confronting their own double. From late-night sightings in hospitals, subways, and empty streets to casual conversations remembered by strangers you’ve never met, these stories explore the quiet terror of realizing a version of you is moving through the world without your consent.

Each chapter stands alone as an individual urban legend, yet together they form a chilling pattern—one that asks whether exhaustion, memory, identity, or something deeper is responsible when the self begins to fracture. These are not loud horror stories. They are subtle, modern myths that feel close enough to be true.

If you enjoy unsettling psychological horror, liminal cityscapes, and stories that linger long after the last page, this book will make you question where you were… and who might have been there instead.
